Rossby waves supported by a PV gradient generated by free surface elevation changes caused by the centrifugal forces of rotating the tank with a rotation rate of (4/2*pi) s^-1 (or whatever '4000' corresponds to, I forgot) . The 'wave maker' introduces a distrubance which then propagates 'westward' in the tank.
