KELVIN WAVE
Type: coastal Kelvin wave
Direction: northward
Decay: exponential offshore
Coriolis: active
Toggle Equatorial
Amplitude:
Speed:
Kelvin wave: boundary-trapped
Coastal: hugs coastline
Equatorial: uses equator as wall
Northern hemisphere: coast on right
Amplitude ∝ e^(-y/R_D)
R_D = Rossby deformation radius
