Which wavelength makes a Rossby wave stationary in a westerly flow?
Answer: C
Setting the intrinsic westward phase speed equal and opposite to the advection by the mean flow gives the stationary wavelength, typically several thousand kilometres in mid-latitudes. Orographically forced waves adopt this wavelength because they must be stationary relative to the mountains. The deformation radius sets a different scale altogether.
