Rossby waves are difficult to detect with in situ methods, however they have been well identified in satellite observations of sea surface height (SSH), sea surface temperature (SST), and ocean color observations of Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), as well as HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) simulations of SSH, SST, and Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) in the Indian Ocean. While the surface structure of Rossby waves can be elucidated from comparisons of the signal in different sea surface parameters, models are needed to gain direct information about how these waves affect the ocean at depth. The effect of Rossby waves on SSH, SST, ocean color, and SSS are studied using satellite data and 1/12° global HYCOM simulations. HYCOM simulations are then used to study the baroclinic structure of Rossby waves in the Indian Ocean.
