Abstract
In this paper, the interactions between atmospheric Kelvin (Rossby) wave and oceanic Rossby (Kelvin) wave are investigated. It is indicated that both interactions can excite the unstable coupled waves. One kind of them, the frequencies are close to the free Kelvin waves. Other are actually produced by Rossby wave with different mode N. The characteristics of their propagation and instability are also discussed.
