Abstract:
We study in the linear approximation barotropic Rossby waves in the ocean covered by compressed ice. We derive the dispersion relation and analyse its dependence on the degree of ice compression and its flexural rigidity. The characteristic parameters of a wave-field the most sensible to the influence of ice cover are estimated and presented for the Earth and some other planets. The main conclusion is rather pessimistic as the influence of ice cover on Rossby waves in the typical situations is almost insignificant, albeit in some special conditions it may be important. Anyway, the theoretical results clarifying the possible influence of ice or any other elastic cover on water waves in a rotating fluid represent an interest, in our opinion.
