A detailed survey of the technique of perturbation theory for nearly integrable systems,
based upon the inverse scattering transform, and a minute account of results obtained by …

Over the past four decades, the combination of in situ and remote sensing observations has
demonstrated that long nonlinear internal solitary-like waves are ubiquitous features of …

The solitary wave is a localized hydrodynamic phenomenon that can occur because of a
balance between nonlinear cohesive and linear dispersive forces in a fluid. It has been …

This paper discusses linear generation models for internal tides over large topographic
features such as continental slopes, with the objects of making the procedures simpler and …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the various aspects of advances in physical
limnology. A discussion of seasonal behavior and the role of the geographic location of a …

A short survey of results related to solitary internal waves in the ocean is presented. We
discuss observations of solitary waves in shallow seas and deep ocean regions …

A field program to measure acoustic propagation characteristics and physical oceanography
was undertaken in April and May 2001 in the northern South China Sea. Fluctuating ocean …

This book was first published in 2005. When an oceanic tidal wave that is primarily active on
the water surface passes an ocean shelf or a region with a seamount, it is split into a less …

Using a simple laboratory model we believe that we have clarified the mechanisms whereby
a train of solitary waves can be generated by the barotropic tidal flow of a stratified fluid over …

A numerical solution to the generalized Korteweg-de Vries (K-dV) equation, including
horizontal variability and dissipation, is used to model the evolution of an initially sinusoidal …
