I am just a casual reader of meteorological info. Over the past couple of years I have been reading about all the various "weather oscillations" around the globe with keen interest in ENSO as it affects our US weather. In the past when I try to describe weather oscillations to my friends I tell them "there are these pillsbury dough boys around the globe of various sizes and shapes that bump into each other and thus affect each other and our weather. I know have a name for these effects - Rossby Waves. Am I correct in my thinking?
If I had my career to do over I would love to pursue a study in meteorology. Thanks for a great explanation of Rossby Waves. I will watch for more of these types of blog posts.
