Wave topology brought to the coast
@article{Venaille2021WaveTB, title={Wave topology brought to the coast}, author={Antoine Venaille and Pierre Delplace}, journal={Physical Review Research}, year={2021} }
Since the pioneering work of Kelvin on Laplace tidal equations, a zoology of trapped waves have been found in the context of coastal dynamics. Among them, the one originally computed by Kelvin plays a particular role, as it is an unidirectional mode filling a frequency gap between different wave bands. The existence of such Kelvin waves is robust to changes in the boundary shape and in changes of the underlying model for the coast. This suggests a topological interpretation that has yet up to…

A topological origin is shown for two well-known equatorially trapped waves, the Kelvin and Yanai modes, owing to the breaking of time-reversal symmetry by Earth's rotation, which demonstrates that ocean and atmospheric waves share fundamental properties with topological insulators and that topology plays an unexpected role in Earth's climate system.
