Theoretical Considerations:Effects of Meridional Shear in the Zonal Wind
Differential advection leads to straining and deformation: Affects shape and group velocity
Wave-guiding: Trapping of Rossby wave energy along jets, extratropical waves are guided towards low latitudes in certain regions
Non-Doppler Effect: Meridional shear modifies the -effect, leading to differences in equivalent depths and equatorial trapping
Critical Line: Where the zonal phase speed of a Rossby Wave equals that of the background zonal wind (waves are absorbed or perhaps reflected here).

Mechanisms?
Local Dynamic and Thermodynamic fields associated with initial Kelvin wave development are very weak
One possibility: “Direct projection” of extratropical forcing onto equatorially-trapped waves, exciting a resonant response

Conclusions
• There are at least two mechanisms that force Kelvin waves over South America
a) at upper levels from the Pacific b) at lower levels from southern South America
(e.g., Garreaud and Wallace 1998; Garreaud 2000)
• Not all South American (cold) events force Kelvin waves
• Some Kelvin waves may be initiated in-situ

Conclusions
Convectively coupled Kelvin waves have many “non-Kelvin” features, including off-equatorial gyres presumably forced in part by heating
There are strong associations between Kelvin wave activity and extratropical Rossby wave activity
In some cases it is clear that Kelvin waves are forced by the extratropics
Kelvin convection is associated with subtropical anticyclonic vorticity, unlike other cases of tropical-extratropical interaction
Subtropical “pressure surges” are also seen to be involved in forcing of some Kelvin activity over South America
These results do not rule out “spontaneous” generation of Kelvin waves by equatorial convection or local dynamical forcing

Conclusions
• There are at least two mechanisms that force Kelvin waves over South America a) at upper levels from the Pacific b) at lower levels from southern South America
(e.g., Garreaud and Wallace 1998; Garreaud 2000)
• Not all South American (cold) events force Kelvin waves
