Rossby Waves

On earth weather appears to react to changes in the jet streams which blow air in narrow currents around the world – somewhat like Rossby waves, movements fueled by the planet's rotation. NASAs STEREO observatory (heliophysics) have found evidence of Rossby waves on the Sun. The scientists tracked coronal bright points – small luminous features that can be observed on the Sun, directly tied to magnetic activity beneath the surface.
