Forced Kelvin Waves on an Equatorial Beta Plane
Abstract
Equatorial Waves forced by a surface zonal wind stress acting on a continuously stratified ocean on an equatorial beta plane will be explored. For a uniformly stratified (constant N) ocean the time evolution of the lowest meridional mode (Kelvin Wave) part of the solution will be explored in detail.
