Dr. Arcodia,

Thanks for answering my questions.  What you wrote was very interesting, and further piqued my curiosity about Rossby waves, so I looked elsewhere on this site (my weather app is the NWS and NOAA websites) and learned more about them.  They're fascinating.  

That said, I had another couple of questions about them: Given the role they play with heat transfer between the equator and the poles, how do they interact with Hadley, Ferrell, and Polar cells?  And, what role do they play with sudden stratospheric warming events, like what happened in early January 2021?

Thanks for reading this, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Matt
