Long nonlinear waves in a compressible magnetically structured atmosphere

The Benjamin-Ono equation is derived for long slow sausage waves propagating in a vertical magnetic slab embedded into a stratified atmosphere, provided that the slab thickness is much smaller than the scale height of the atmosphere. The soliton propagation in a nonstratified atmosphere is discussed. The approximate formulas describing the slow evolution of the amplitude and the length of a soliton propagating in a very weakly stratified atmosphere are obtained. The exact soliton-like solution for an atmosphere with a linearly growing temperature is found.
