An exact solution for geophysical trapped waves in the presence of an underlying current

Analysis of PDEs 2017-08-31 v1

Abstract

In this paper we propose an exact and explicit nonlinear solution to the governing equations which retains all the Coriolis terms. In the presence of an underlying current, we seek the trapped waves induced by these solutions in Northern and Southern hemisphere respectively, showing that the retention of the Coriolis force in the governing equations affects significantly the range of the admissible following and adverse currents.
