TL;DR: In this paper, strong generalized solvability, uniqueness, and blow-up of solutions of Cauchy problems are discussed. But they do not consider the problem of finding a global solution of the problem.

TL;DR: In this article, nonlinear Rossby waves in a Boussinesq fluid model were studied by using the semi-geostrophic approximation and the method of travelling-wave solution.
Abstract: Nonlinear Rossby waves in a Boussinesq fluid model which includes both the vertical and horizontal components of Coriolis force are studied by using the semi-geostrophic approximation and the method of travelling-wave solution. Taylor series expansion has been employed to isolate the characteristics of the linear Rossby waves and identify the Rossby cnoidal and solitary waves. Qualitative analysis indicates that if the disturbances are independent of latitude, the effect of horizontal components of Coriolis force disappears.

Taylor series expansion has been employed to isolate the characteristics of the linear Rossby waves and to identify the nonlinear shock and kink waves. The KdV-Burgers and the compound KdV-Burgers equations are derived, their shock wave and kink wave solution are also obtained.

TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled pair of Korteweg-de-vries equations is used to describe the interaction of long-wave solitons propagating in shear flows.
Abstract: Interactions of long-wave solitons propagating in shear flows are described by a coupled pair of Korteweg-de Vries equations. The basic equation of motion for the analysis is the quasi-geostrophic forecast equation, and the interaction of two wave modes is studied. The solution for mode 1-mode 2 interaction of solitary waves in an asymmetric shear flow of a barotropic atmosphere with divergence is constructed. Streamline patterns for certain flows are obtained. An unsteady solitary wave solution for a modified Korteweg-de Vries equation is derived.
