Abstract

The mode coupling equations for Rossby waves in a bounded periodic channel are derived by means of a hamiltonian method. The streamfunction is used as field variable and we need not introduce Clebsch potentials or a lagrangian description. The Manley-Rowe relations follow from general hamiltonian theory.
