Table 1 Westward propagation speeds (cm s⁻¹) of the Rossby waves, i.e., c_mn, with respect to the barotropic/baroclinic vertical (n) and meridional (m) modes

From: Wind-driven decadal sea surface height and main pycnocline depth changes in the western subarctic North Pacific

Meridional modes	Vertical modes
	n=0	n=1	n=2	n=3	n=4
m=1	357.85	0.45	0.12	0.06	0.03
m=2	94.16	0.45	0.12	0.06	0.03
m=3	42.26	0.44	0.12	0.06	0.03
m=4	23.85	0.44	0.12	0.06	0.03
