Description
In this talk, I will present an analytical model that unifies many of the solar inertial waves as a single family of mixed inertial modes. Here, mixed modes refer to the prograde- and retrograde-propagating members of this family. Thermal Rossby waves exist as prograde-propagating waves, while the high-frequency retrograde (HFR) wave is possibly a member of the retrograde branch. The higher overtones may correspond to many of the inertial modes that have been recently identified by numerical eigenmode solvers. I will also discuss some properties of the mixed modes in the context of this model.
