raytracing - Rossby Wave Ray Tracing

Rossby wave ray paths are traced from a determined source, specified wavenumber, and direction of propagation. "raytracing" also works with a set of experiments changing these parameters, making possible the identification of Rossby wave sources automatically. The theory used here is based on classical studies, such as Hoskins and Karoly (1981) <doi:10.1175/1520-0469(1981)038%3C1179:TSLROA%3E2.0.CO;2>, Karoly (1983) <doi:10.1016/0377-0265(83)90013-1>, Hoskins and Ambrizzi (1993) <doi:10.1175/1520-0469(1993)050%3C1661:RWPOAR%3E2.0.CO;2>, and Yang and Hoskins (1996) <doi:10.1175/1520-0469(1996)053%3C2365:PORWON%3E2.0.CO;2>.
