Abstract
The dynamics of the atmospheric soliton over Bengkalis Island are investigated. We detected the signature of an atmospheric soliton from x-band weather radar images moving from land toward the open sea on April 7, 2022, from 00.20 to 01.20 local time. The calculation based on the single soliton solution of the KdV equation shows that the atmospheric soliton in this region has a maximum amplitude of around 625.47 m and an average internal velocity of 16.67 m/s. Solitons break up into convection cells when they reach the coastline. This breaking mechanism will be highlighted.
