| Abstract: | This article reviews the author's study on waves in planetary fluids for which the Okada Prize of the Oceanographical Society
of Japan was awarded in 1981. The contents of the review are i) some connections of planetary waves with the large-scale ocean
circulation, ii) stability of planetary waves, iii) the relationship between mean currents and planetary waves, iv) the influence
of topography on the mean current, v) a simple relationship between wave dissipation and viscous boundary layers and vi) some
ageostrophic effects on large-scale phenomena. Studies now in progress and related suggestions are also described and discussed
in the article |
