Abstract: We study possible trajectories of a long time existing vortex in a model of the atmosphere dynamics, where the vortex can be interpreted as a tropical cyclone. The model can be obtained from the system of primitive equations governing the motion of air over the Earth’s surface after averaging over the height. We associate with a cyclone a special class of smooth solutions having a form of a localized steady non-singular vortex moving with a bearing field. We show that the solutions satisfy the equations of the model either exactly or with a discrepancy which is small in a neighborhood of the trajectory of the center of vortex. We show both analytically and numerically that the trajectory of a localized vortex keeps the features of trajectory of vortex with a linear profile of velocity, where the exact solution can be obtained. We discuss a possibility of existence of another structures (steady or unsteady) moving with a bearing field for different modifications of the model.
