Abstract

A new general nonlocal modified KdV equation is derived from the nonlinear inviscid dissipative and equivalent barotropic vorticity equation in a β-plane. The nonlocal property is manifested in the shifted parity and delayed time reversal symmetries. Exact solutions of the nonlocal modified KdV equation are obtained including periodic waves, kink waves, solitary waves, kink- and/or anti-kink-cnoidal periodic wave interaction solutions, which can be utilized to describe various two-place and time-delayed correlated events. As an illustration, a special approximate solution is applied to theoretically capture the salient features of two correlated dipole blocking events in atmospheric dynamical systems.
