Shallow water model using Python

I've spent an ungodly amount of hours debugging my Python code to simulate the shallow water model. I cannot seem to reproduce the "Rossby" wave. The code can run but does not produce correct results. The code is below and should run by just using python or python3. A pop-up window will display the results. Below is the image of the incorrect results. The model should be lighter in color on the left of the "tower" due to rotation. Right now, it looks diagonal, my guess is that the rotU and rotV terms are causing the dUdT and dVdT to update the the results but not in the correct grids. enter image description here

horizontalWrap = True # determines whether the flow wraps around, connecting
                       # the left and right-hand sides of the grid, or whether
                       # there's a wall there.

# on a very small, low-G planet.
