Abstract

The existence of planetary normal modes in the presence of realistic mean fields is examined. For sufficiently large wavenumber m, or meridional index n, the response of the Rossby modes is diffused beyond identification. This is primarily a result of the Doppler shifting of mean winds and supersedes the increasing role of dissipation.-from Author
