Abstract
In this work, we study a three-wave kinetic equation with resonance broadening arising from the theory of stratified ocean flows. Unlike Gamba-Smith-Tran(On the wave turbulence theory for stratified flows in the ocean, Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci. 30 (2020), no.1, 105--137), we employ a different formulation of the resonance broadening, which makes the present model more suitable for ocean applications. We establish the global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to the new resonance broadening kinetic equation.
