Counting of discrete Rossby/drift wave resonant triads

Fluid Dynamics 2013-09-03 v1

Abstract

The purpose of this note is to remove the confusion about counting of resonant wave triads for Rossby and drift waves in the context of the Charney-Hasegawa-Mima equation. In particular, we aim to point out a major error of over-counting of triads in the paper "Discrete exact and quasi-resonances of Rossby/drift waves on beta-plane with periodic boundary conditions", by Kartashov and Kartashova, arXiv:1307.8272v1 [physics.flu-dyn] (2013).
