Notes. Each row refers to a set of modes with different m values. The integer n denotes the number of radial nodes of vθ at the equator for the Rossby modes. The north-south symmetries of the different components of the velocity are given in Cols. 3–6, where “S” indicates the velocity component is symmetric across the equator and “A” indicates the velocity component is antisymmetric across the equator. The propagation direction is for the uniformly rotating case, and is given in the rotating frame.
