Elucidation of Solitary Wave Characteristics of Internal Kelvin Waves Under the Influence of the Coriolis Force

Key Points

• This research investigates how internal solitary waves behave under the influence of the Coriolis force, especially regarding wave shape and propagation.
• Conducted numerical simulations of internal solitary waves under varying Coriolis force conditions.
• Used a three-dimensional non-hydrostatic model for extended temporal analysis.
• Focused on spatial and temporal changes in waveforms due to Coriolis effects.
• Waveforms exhibited deformation under the Coriolis force deviating from theoretical predictions.
• Despite deformation, solitary waves did not split and retained their solitary characteristics during propagation.
