Notes. All the frequencies are measured in the corotating frame. For the equatorial Rossby modes, n denotes the number of radial nodes for vθ at the equator. For the other two types modes, at fixed m, there are both modes with north-south symmetric and and antisymmetric z-vorticity ζz where z denotes the rotational axis. These different dispersion relations and their connections are plotted in Fig. 10.
