Discussion
Which pattern describes the atmospheric response to equatorial heating?
Answer: B
Gill's solution shows the Kelvin response extending eastward and a pair of off-equatorial cyclonic Rossby gyres to the west, an asymmetry that follows directly from the propagation directions of the two wave types. This pattern is recognisable in observed circulations associated with tropical convection and with El Nino heating anomalies, and it is one of the most used results in tropical meteorology. Framing the question as which quantity the change acts upon makes the answer follow without calculation.
