description: 'Linearized shallow water equations on a rotating sphere. A Gaussian height perturbation triggers geostrophic adjustment: fast gravity waves radiate outward while slower Rossby waves propagate westward.',

concept: 'Geostrophic adjustment partitions energy between fast gravity waves and a balanced geostrophic flow. The Coriolis force (f = 2\u03A9 sin\u03C6) deflects motion, creating rotational asymmetry. Rossby waves arise from the variation of f with latitude (\u03B2-effect).',

description: 'Pseudo-spectral simulation of the linearised shallow water equations on a rotating beta-plane. A Gaussian height perturbation triggers geostrophic adjustment: fast inertia-gravity waves radiate outward while slower Rossby waves drift westward.',

concept: 'The Rossby deformation radius L_R = √(gH)/f₀ controls the adjustment: scales larger than L_R reach geostrophic balance; smaller scales radiate as gravity waves. The β-effect adds slow westward Rossby wave propagation on top of the balanced state.',
