We consider the two-dimensional equatorial water-wave problem with constant vorticity in the $f$-plane approximation. Within the framework of small-amplitude waves, we derive the dispersion relations and we find the analytic solutions of the nonlinear differential equation system describing the particle paths below such waves. We show that the solutions obtained are not closed curves. Some remarks on the stagnation points are also provided.
Keywords: constant vorticity, equatorial f-plane approximation, small-amplitude waves, particle paths, Geophysical water waves, disperion relations..
