Geophysical Rossby waves and their scattering phenomena in simple geometries are discussed in regard to the definition of the wave equation in the presence of the so-called critical layers. A feasible way of approximation is proposed and tested for the stationary scattering problems. Inferences are also made on the interrelation of the stability theory of parallel flows and the quantum mechanical scattering.
