Abstract
This paper addresses the hydrodynamical stability of nonlinear geophysical equatorial waves in the f−plane approximation. By implementing the short-wavelength perturbation approach, we show that certain westward-propagating equatorial waves are linearly unstable when the wave steepness exceeds a specific threshold.
