raytracing: Rossby Wave Ray Tracing

Description

Rossby wave ray paths are traced from a determined source, specified wavenumber, and direction of propagation. 'raytracing' also works with a set of experiments changing these parameters, making possible the identification of Rossby wave sources automatically.
