摘要: This paper presents a study of the characteristics extra-tropical oceanic Rossby waves from datasets Sea Surface Height (SSH), Temperature (SST) and ocean colour. The main focus is on propagation speed comparison made between observational results speeds predicted by classical theory most recent extended waves. There also discussion, with an example, additional information that can be derived wave signatures in different datasets.
