For the gravest basin mode, the time scale is set by the time taken for an equatorial KW to propagate across the basin and for the reflected gravest long Rossby wave to return to the western boundary (that is 4L/c where L is the basin width and c is the phase propagation speed for KWs).
Here we are viewing the land: waves of grave and grain.
This study determined that the 5-day wave, the gravest symmetric wave number 1 Rossby wave, has a vertically propagating phase structure with a mean vertical wavelength of approximately 50 to 60 km, whereas the 6-day wave is an equatorially trapped wave number 1 eastward propagating wave with a mean vertical wavelength of approximately 25 km.
Dr. Abenhaim, in the radio interview, said the first warnings had been issued as early as Aug. 8, "saying that the heat wave would have grave consequences".
