A fluid column moves from deep water (D=4000 m) to shallow water (D=100m). The fluid column has a relative vorticity of +0.00002 rad/s in deep water. 

 

a. Compute the relativity vorticity (spin) of the fluid column in shallow water if the coriolis frequency is constant f=-0.00001 rad/s in both deep and shallow water. what is the direction of the apin?

b. exlpain the difference between planetary rosby waves and topographic rosby waves.

c. explain how a rossby wave moves westward. Use words as relative vorticity, potential vorticity, and fluid column
