Abstract

This study examines the presence of multiple peaks from 2 dimensional Fourier and Radon Transform analysis for the entire South Pacific basin from 10 years of sea level anomalies determined from ERS (European Remote Sensing satellite) and T/P altimeter observations and attempts to determine whether their speeds resemble those of higher order baroclinic Rossby wave modes.
