abstract: Nonlinear internal waves are commonly observed in the coastal ocean. In the weakly nonlinear long wave régime, they are often modeled by the Korteweg-de Vries equation, which predicts that the long-time outcome of generic localised initial conditions is a train of internal solitary waves. However, when the effect of background rotation is taken into account, it is known from several theoretical and numerical studies that the formation of solitary waves is inhibited, and instead nonlinear wave packets form. In this paper, we report the results from a laboratory experiment at the LEGI-Coriolis Laboratory which describes this process.
