Abstract: Certain aspects of Long's experiments (and some later extensions) with fluid motions around obstacles in a rotating hemispherical shell are discussed. For westerly currents, Long demonstrated that Rossby-Haurwitz waves ...

Abstract: Atmospheric dispersion statistics in the Lagrangian frame have been evaluated over open water by using a double-theodolite system to track neutrally buoyant balloons released a few kilometers off-shore during onshore winds. ...
