摘要：Two-dimensional Rossby solitary waves propagating in a line have attracted much attention in the past decade, whereas there is few research on three-dimensional Rossby solitary waves. But as is well known, three-dimensional Rossby solitary waves are more suitable for real ocean and atmosphere conditions. In this paper, using multiscale and perturbation expansion method, a new Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK)-Burgers equation is derived to describe three-dimensional Rossby solitary waves that propagate in a plane. By analyzing the equation we obtain the conservation laws of three-dimensional Rossby solitary waves. Based on the sine-cosine method, we give the classical solitary wave solutions of the ZK equation; on the other hand, by the Hirota method we also obtain the rational solutions, which are similar to the solutions of the Benjamin-Ono (BO) equation, the solutions of which can describe the algebraic solitary waves. The rational solutions of the ZK equations are worth of attention. Finally, with the help of the classical solitary wave solutions, similar to the fiber soliton communication, we discuss the dissipation and chirp effect of three-dimensional Rossby solitary waves.
