Finally trying the topographic Rossby wave experiment I wrote about theoretically here! And it is working — ok-ish. If you know what you are looking for, you can kind of…

Planetary Rossby waves on Beta-plane. A super easy tank experiment!

September 13, 2019

This is seriously one of the easiest tank experiments I have ever run! And I have been completely overthinking it for the last couple of weeks. Quick reminder: This is…

Rossby waves in a rotating tank — three different demonstrations
