Question 3 of 4
3. Question
Consider the following statements
1..Rossby waves are huge waves in the ocean with wavelengths of around 4,000–5,000 kilometres.
2.Rossby waves arise due to the rotation of the Earth.
Select the correct answer from options given below?Correct
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
Rossby waves are huge waves in the ocean with wavelengths of around 4,000–5,000 kilometres. This system has a vortex in the northern hemisphere and another in the southern hemisphere, and each of these is a mirror image of the other. The vortex in the north spins counterclockwise and has a positive spin, while the one in the southern hemisphere spins in the clockwise direction and therefore has a negative spin. Both have positive value of the vorticity which is a measure of the rotation. Very often twin cyclones are formed from these Rossby waves.
Rossby waves are named for famous meteorologist Carl-Gustaf Rossby who was the first to explain that these waves arose due to the rotation of the Earth.Incorrect
