Abstract

Recently, unexpected conservation laws have been discovered for various nonlinear wave systems. Among these systems is the system of Rossby waves, which describes the global dynamics of the atmosphere and the ocean. It turns out that these conservation laws are intimately related to a geometric theory---the geometry of webs---that originated more than 60 years earlier. This relation helped discover how many conservation laws a nonlinear wave system can have.
