For 10 points, name these high altitude, planetary-scale waves named for a Swedish meteorologist.
The interaction of this phenomenon with two-dimensional turbulence causes the destruction of coherent vortices by the Rhines effect. Their speed can be given by the formula U minus twice the Earth's angular velocity times cosine latitude times wavelength squared over quantity 4 pi times the mean radius of the earth. These entities result in the generation of low-pressure troughs and high-pressure ridges that determine the location of the polar front. The vertical component of these things determines if they are baroclinic or barotropic. These entities are driven by the change in Coriolis force with latitude and are the cause of meanders in jet streams.
