Abstract: An investigation is made to determine the effects of vertical shear on regular neutral mode Rossby solitons for application to planetary atmospheres. The basic zonal flow consists of two fluid layers on a ?plane, each with ...

Abstract: The observation of internal solitary waves (ISWs) propagating upstream along a strongly stratified bottom layer on the California shelf is reported. An increased concentration of particulates in the water column accompanies ...

Abstract: The propagation of long internal waves over two-dimensional topography is discussed. A two-dimensional version of the Korteweg-deVries equation is derived with variable coefficients which depend on the local fluid depth. ...

Abstract: A coupled pair of nonlinear evolution (Korteweg-deVries) equations are derived describing the interaction of solitary waves propagating in a zonal shear flow and having different long-wave phase velocities. Solutions of ...
