atm and ocean circ: atmospheric patterns in motion
rossby waves form when the polar front develops a meandering path in a zonal flow.

Explanation:

Rossby waves are large - scale, planetary - scale waves in the atmosphere and ocean. They form when the polar front, which is the boundary between polar and mid - latitude air masses, develops a meandering path in a zonal (east - west) flow. This meandering disrupts the smooth zonal flow and leads to the formation of Rossby waves.

Answer:

The blanks are correctly filled as shown: "the polar front" and "zonal"
