Which property does an equatorial Kelvin wave have?
Answer: C
The Kelvin wave has zero meridional velocity everywhere, with the pressure gradient in that direction balanced entirely by the Coriolis force acting on the zonal wind. This constraint traps it about the equator with a Gaussian decay and forces it to propagate eastward only. The amplitude therefore decreases rather than increases away from the equator.
