Underlying vortex flows associated with Rossby waves are projected onto an image of the sun. (MPS/NASA/HormesDesign) At a Glance A new study has confirmed the existence of planetary waves, also known as Rossby waves, on the sun.These waves are a driving force of weather and climate on Earth.More research is needed to determine their impact on the sun's weather, according to the researchers. Massive waves in Earth's atmosphere and oceans that influence weather patterns around the planet are also found...
