Representation of equatorial waves by a single scalar field and the effect of the horizontal component of the Earth's rotation
Abstract
A new representation for equatorial waves in terms of a single scalar field is used to demonstrate the influence of the (usually neglected) horizontal component of the earth's rotation vector on the dispersion of the waves. It is shown that, in the case of constant Brunt-V\"ais\"al\"a frequency N, the dispersion relation is unaltered when the horizontal component of is included.
