Large-scale vortex motion, the typical example of which is typhoon in nature, has behaviour of soliton. This is proved by large-scale dynamical simulation experiment in the rotating annulus. Thus we suggest that one can adopt scientific term "Heliton"(i.e.,helical soliton) to characterize this motion pattern.
