Solitons and SeaSat,

Abstract

It has been suggested that Soliton formation might be relevant to SeaSat observations. It has also been said that there are no Solitons in more than one space dimension. The second statement is demonstrated to be false. The Kadomtsev-Petviashvile equation relevant to Internal Waves is shown not to have Soliton solutions. This lends support to the view that Solitons and SeaSat have little in common. (Author)
