The Rossby Wave Extra Invariant in the Physical Space

ORAL

Abstract

We investigate {\it the extra invariant} for the Rossby wave dynamics. This invariant has been connected to {\it zonal jets}. We find an explicit expression of this invariant in the physical (or coordinate) space and show that the invariant is indeed physically important.
