Abstract

In this paper, an attempt is made to study some interesting results of the coupled nonlinear equations in the atmosphere. By introducing a phase angle function ζ, it is shown that the atmospheric equations in the presence of specific forcing exhibit the exact and explicit solitary wave solutions under certain conditions.
