DYNAMICAL OCEANOGRAPHY
Consider now an incoming Rossby wave with wavenumber, angular frequency
and streamfunction (k i ,σ i , Ψ i ) which moves to the western boundary at x =0.
a. Give the relation between k i of the incoming wave and σ i .
Consider now also the reflected wave; this wave can be represented by
quantities (k r ,σ r , Ψ r ).
b. What are the boundary conditions for ψ at x =0.
c. Determine the streamfunction of the total flow consisting of the incoming
and the reflected Rossby wave.
