By using the multiple-scale perturbation method a set of equations which describes two interacting nonlinear Rossby waves in the barotropic atmosphere is derived. The equations are used to study the collision of two envelope solitary Rossby waves. It is found that for a range of parameters, the collision interactions are envelope soliton-like in that the properties of the two envelope solitary waves change very little. For other parameters, new “inelastic” effects are observed, including speed changes, fission of envelope solitary waves and energy dispersion. It is also found that despite of the complexity of the interacting process, the energy of each wave is conserved.
