Understanding Tropical Equatorial Waves by Sumit Kr Mukherjee is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Tropical waves play an important role in modulating convection and tropical weather. There are four primary types of equatorial waves: Kelvin waves, equatorial Rossby waves, mixed Rossby-gravity waves, and inertia-gravity waves. Kelvin waves propagate exclusively eastward and are important for transmitting changes in conditions across the tropics, such as during El Nino events. They move rapidly with little dispersion. Rossby waves propagate slowly to the west and modulate convection through twin cyclonic c
