| Abstract: | Experimental data on the measurement of solitary internal waves in the coastal zone of the Sea of Okhotsk are reported. The non-linear and dispersion coefficients of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation are determined for weakly non-linear disturbances of the first mode. The shapes and parameters of solitary waves are compared with the corresponding parameters of solitons. It is shown that at least ten observed solitary waves are similar to the KdV solitons. Histograms of the distribution of the amplitudes, duration, and spatial dimensions are plotted for a large number of solitary waves.Translated by Mikhail M. Trufanov. |
