Abstract
The modulational interaction of finite-amplitude high-frequency electrostat ic waves propagating at an arbitrary angle to an external magnetic field wi th slow plasma motion is considered. A set of nonlinear evolution equations describing the interaction is obtained. New types of solitary waves propag ating at nearsonic speeds are found. [S1063-651X(99)10408-2].
