Description

The nonlinear equation governing low-frequency drift waves is considered. Utilizing the linear dispersion relation for such waves, it is shown that there exists a parameter range for which the drift waves are governed by a modified Korteweg--de Vries equation having a solitary solution in one and two dimensions. The one-dimensional solitons are unstable with respect to perturbations in the direction perpendicular to their motion
