Abstract
We also derive a solution in the form of an asymptotic series expansion for the more general situation where a Rossby wave packet is generated by a zonally-localized boundary condition comprising a continuous spectrum of wavenumbers or Fourier modes. The exact solutions found here can be used as leading-order solutions in weakly-nonlinear analyses and other studies involving more realistic configurations for time-dependent Rossby waves or wave packets.
