Abstract

Nonlinear dispersive shallow water equations on a sphere are obtained without using the potential flow assumption. Boussinesq-type equations for weakly nonlinear waves over a moving bottom are derived. It is found that the total energy balance holds for all obtained nonlinear dispersive equations on a sphere.
