That’s what happened to Texas last week: One of those Rossby waves brought cold Arctic air all the way south – and then stuck for a while. The jet stream itself didn’t stop.

My broad scientific interests are in stellar astrophysics, with a particular emphasis on magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), convection theory, and the use of waves as a seismic probe ... motions and their ...

In Earth's atmosphere, large-scale atmospheric waves, known as Rossby waves, drive circulation patterns in the stratosphere.

"Our analysis shows that the March heatwave was primarily linked to a sudden increase in the amplitude of short-lived atmospheric Rossby waves, which are large-scale meanders in high-altitude ...
