The Rossby whistle is the oscillation of sea-level and bottom pressure in the Caribbean Sea with the period of 120 days and influenced by propagating westward oceanic Rossby wave. It is observed that a baroclinic Rossby wave propagating westward across the Caribbean Sea, oscillating with a period of 120 days, is rapidly returned to the east along the southern boundary as coastal shelf waves.
