The modified Korteweg - de Vries equation in the theory of large - amplitude internal waves

The propagation of large- amplitude internal waves in the ocean is studied here for the case when the nonlinear effects are of cubic order, leading to the modified Korteweg - de Vries equation. The coefficients of this equation are calculated analytically for several models of the density stratifica...
