Analytical theory and numerical modelling of nonlinear wave packages (breathers) in the ocean stratified by density and currents

The paper addresses the important problem of modelling the transformation of breathers of internal waves in a horizontally heterogeneous medium stratified by density and currents. At present, there are sufficiently detailed hydrological atlases that allow performing calculations of the kinematic characteristics of internal waves for a given density field in an ocean. The data on currents is incomplete, and still there is no necessary accuracy. For solitons of small amplitude, “ignorance” of the flow field leads only to a quantitative difference in the parameters, however for breathers the situation can change qualitatively, and if the sign of cubic nonlinearity changes, the breather simply ceases to exist. Currents lead to differences in the spatial and temporal characteristics of a breather, which is very important when comparing measurement data obtained by different methods (from a buoy or from a moving carrier). In this case, the effects of blocking waves on the opposite currents, which vary horizontally, are possible. All this points require a thorough study of the behavior of breathers on ocean currents. The theory of nonlinear oscillating wave packets in the ocean is developed. The theory is based on the Gardner equation, which is fully integrated by modern methods of the theory of nonlinear waves. Phase relations in breathers are determined. As an example, the calculation of the dynamics of the package of internal waves with the formation of breathers for the conditions close to the conditions of the Baltic Sea in the Gotland Basin is considered.
