No significant decrease in planetary - scale
wave phase speeds are found except in October - November - December, but this trend is sensitive to the analysis parameters.

Standing air pressure
waves at the mouth of each runner were essentially in
phase, while prior manifolds had
waves out of
phase at low
speed, resulting in rumbling noises.
For higher stability, there's a stronger restoring force on any vertical displacement of air (assuming no latent heating occurs), which
speeds up the motion associated with the
wave causing the
wave to propagate faster (i.e. faster
phase speed).
Similarly, when the stability is lower, the
wave motions will be deeper, and the
phase speed should slow down.
Any physical
wave should manifest a characteristic
phase speed and direction.
Space - time spectral analysis is used to obtain the variance and
phase speed of dominant convectively coupled equatorial
waves, including the MJO, Kelvin, equatorial Rossby (ER), mixed Rossby - gravity (MRG), and eastward inertio - gravity (EIG) and westward inertio - gravity (WIG)
waves.
However, the variances are generally too weak for all
wave modes except the EIG
wave, and the
phase speeds are generally too fast, being scaled to excessively deep equivalent depths.
Free extratropical Rossby
waves with zonal
wave numbers about 6 to 8 mostly occur as high - amplitude, fast traveling
waves (the so - called synoptic transients responsible for much of the weather variability in the extratropics); once established, they can freely propagate predominantly to the east with a
phase speed c ≈ 6 − 12 m ⋅ s − 1 without maintenance from external forcing.
The simulations indicate that these nonlinear lee
waves propagate against the generating flow (usually the tide) and are arrested because they have the same
phase speed as the oncoming flow.
