Abstract
In terms of a baroclinic quasi-geostrophic wave-filtering technique in connection with a dimensionless parameter,η(z), of condensation-released latent heat that indicates the CISK mechanism, a model is established for describing tropical atmosphere CISK-Rossby waves alongside its analytical solution. Theoretical study shows that there exists pronounced difference between Rossby waves, CISK-involving and classic, and the former can be used to interpret some aspects of the low-frequency oscillation in the tropical atmosphere.
