A special solution of the linearized equations for an equatorial β-plane is described. The meridional velocity is set identically zero and it is shown that the solution is a vertically propagating gravity wave in the x-z plane which is in geostrophic balance in the meridional plane. These waves are shown to be similar to Kelvin waves in a bounded ocean. Some implications of the atmospheric “Kelvin” waves for equatorial dynamics are discussed.
