Forced solitary Rossby waves under the influence of slowly varying topography with time

By using a weakly nonlinear and perturbation method, the generalized inhomogeneous Korteweg de Vries (KdV)- Burgers equation is derived, which governs the evolution of the amplitude of Rossby waves under the influence of dissipation and slowly varying topography with time. The analysis indicates tha...

Summary:By using a weakly nonlinear and perturbation method, the generalized inhomogeneous Korteweg de Vries (KdV)- Burgers equation is derived, which governs the evolution of the amplitude of Rossby waves under the influence of dissipation and slowly varying topography with time. The analysis indicates that dissipation and slowly varying topography with time are important factors in causing variation in the mass and energy of solitary waves.
