ON THE THEORY OF AXISYMMETRIC ROSSBY SOLITONS
Abstract
Estimates are given of the rate of evolution for axisymmetric Rossby solitons under the influence of additional effects not ordinarily included in the soliton theory. It it shown that for a given disturbance amplitude there are infinitely many soliton solutions with differing horizontal size, but having approximately the same lifetime. These results have made it possible to explain why the correlation between the amplitude of a soliton and its radius established in laboratory experiments does not always satisfy the nonlinear dispersion relation derived in a number of theoretical papers.
