Analytical Solution for Waves in Planets with Atmospheric Superrotation. II. Lamb, Surface, and Centrifugal Waves

López-Valverde, M. A.; Imamura, T.; Peralta, J. +3 more

This paper is the second in a two-part study devoted to developing tools for a systematic classification of the wide variety of atmospheric waves expected on slowly rotating planets with atmospheric superrotation. Starting with the primitive equations for a cyclostrophic regime, we have deduced the analytical solution for the possible waves, simul…
