Abstract: In this paper, we investigate existence and stability of solitary waves to the rotation-Camassa-Holm equation which can be considered as a model in the shallow water for the long-crested waves propagating near the equator with effect of the Coriolis force due to the Earth's rotation. We prove existence of solitary traveling wave solutions by performing a phase plane analysis of the corresponding system of ordinary differential equations and providing a qualitative description of the wave profile. It is shown that solitary traveling wave solutions are positive, symmetric with respect to the crest line and have a unique maximum which increases with the wave speed, i.e. faster waves are taller. Moreover, utilizing the approach proposed by Grillakis-Shatah-Strauss, and relies on a reformulation of the evolution equation in Hamiltonian form, we prove stability of solitary waves by proving the convexity of a scalar function, which is based on two conserved quantities.
