The westward propagating zonal wavenumber 1 non-migrating semidiurnal tide is a dominant dynamical feature present during the Austral summer over the South Pole. It has been hypothesized that this wave is generated by a non-linear interaction between the zonal wavenumber one stationary planetary wav...
