Discussion
Which atmospheric wave is essentially non-dispersive?
Answer: B
The equatorial Kelvin wave has a phase speed independent of wavenumber for a given vertical mode, so a packet travels without changing shape. This is why Kelvin wave signals cross an ocean basin as coherent pulses. Rossby and inertia-gravity waves are both strongly dispersive, and the mixed wave inherits dispersion from both of its parents.
