Abstract: A new model for tidally generated internal solitons in the ocean is advanced, based on a little-known asymptotic analytical solution to the weakly nonlinear Korteweg?de Vries equation. The solution has many of the properties ...

Abstract: The process of eddy detachment from a strong, eastward-flowing oceanic jet, which is modeled after the Gulf Stream, is studied using a two-layer quasi-geostrophic model. Numerical calculations are performed, in which an ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical investigation of nonlinear internal wave evolution in the Sulu Sea. A solitary wave theory that describes tie evolution of internal solitons has been developed and expanded to include ...

Abstract: We present the results of a comprehensive study of large-amplitude internal solitons generated in the Sulu Sea in the Philippines by intense tidal flow over a sharp bathymetric feature. Surface signatures of these waves ...
