The Effect of a Variable Background Density Stratification and Current on Oceanic Internal Solitary Waves

Large amplitude, horizontally propagating internal waves are commonly observed in the coastal ocean. They are often modelled by a variable-coefficient Korteweg–de Vries equation to take account of a horizontally varying background state. Although this equation is now well-known, a term representing...
