"We believe that continuing such activities will further expand our horizon in the field of planetary science." ...

Called Rossby waves or planetary waves, the large-scale waves occur in all rotating fluids, but now they've been identified on the sun. "Solar Rossby waves are gigantic in size, with wavelengths ...

Rossby waves also occur here on Earth in the upper atmosphere and in the ocean. In the atmosphere, they shape weather patterns like the jet stream and distribute heat more evenly between the ...

Rossby Waves, and Wave-7 Saturday, March 6th 2021 - 07:10 UTC Full article A winter temperature 25°C colder than usual for the time of year is rare, but this is not the first time it has snowed ...

In this video interview, space scientist Mausumi Dikpati introduces solar Rossby waves and explains how they can be used to predict space weather, which can pose a threat to the Earth. Dikpati is a ...

The jet stream is a strong wind, circling the northern hemisphere about five miles above the earth's surface. Atmospheric 'wobbles' - called Rossby waves - can cause the wind to move north or south.

The findings suggest that this pattern is driven by stronger Rossby wave activity—atmospheric waves that move along the jet streams—triggered by warming in the Northwestern Atlantic and ...

But because Rossby waves encircle the world, impacts are also felt far from Australia. "The same fingerprint was also seen during recent floods in South Africa and Brazil," Dr Parker said.

On May 23, 2019, once-unusual but now increasingly common slow-moving Rossby waves disrupted weather patterns in the Northern Hemisphere. In North America, this brought weeks of unseasonably cool ...
