13 The equatorial Kelvin wave A feature of a Kelvin wave is that it is non- dispersive, i.e., the phase speed of the wave crests is equal to the group speed of the wave energy for all frequencies. c=v*/k* Dispersion occurs when pure plane waves of different wavelengths have different propagakon velocikes, so that a wave packet of mixed wavelengths tends to spread out in space.
14 The equatorial Kelvin wave What do we know about equatorial Kelvin waves? They: 1. No flow normal to the boundary (equator) [v=0]. 2. Have maximum amplitude on the equator and their decay away from the equator follows the equatorial radius of deformakon [(2c/β) 1/2 ]. 3. The flow along the boundary is in geostrophic balance with the pressure gradient perpendicular to the wall [!yu =!g' "" ]. "y 4. Propagate from west to east (boundary on the lep [right) in the SH (NH)] EffecKvely act to transfers info from the west side of an ocean basin to the east. 5. Have a speed, c = sqrt(g H) roughly 2-3 m s - 1 for the first ocean baroclinic mode (H=150m, g =5e - 2 m s - 2 ). [roughly 200 m s - 1 for the oceanic barotropic waves (H=5000m, g=9.8 m s - 2 )] [roughly 50 m s - 1 for the atmospheric baroclinic waves] So they allow the west Pacific to communicate with the east Pacific relakvely fast (~70 days) 6. Upwelling (downwelling) Kelvin waves are associated with eastward (westward) currents. 7. They are non- dispersive

34 Other Equatorially trapped waves What do we know about equatorially trapped waves? They: 1. They are how the tropical ocean/atmosphere adjusts when perturbed. 2. Waves of an even (odd) order are asymmetric (symmetric) about the equator. 3. For long periods (>=T eq, 2- days), InerKal gravity waves are not produced, leaving Kelvin, Rossby and mixed gravity- Rossby waves to do the adjustment. 4. If the perturbakon is quasi- symmetric about the equator, the mixed wave and even order Rossby waves are ruled out as solukons. 5. The Kelvin wave and short wave- length Rossby wave carry energy eastward. Rossby waves only propagate westward, meaning Rossby waves are dispersive for short wave lengths 6. Long wave length Rossby waves are largely non- dispersive as both energy and the wave propagate westward. 7. Kelvin waves travel roughly 3 Kmes faster (eastward) than the n=1 equatorially trapped Rossby waves do westward.
