海流海浪耦合作用对台风浪影响的数值研究

漂浮式海上风电工程设计对波浪参数等必要环境参数提出了更高的要求。本文针对福建南日漂浮式海上风电场海域建立了高分辨率的海浪-海流耦合数值模型,研究海上风电场区水位和海流对海浪的影响。模拟结果显示,耦合模式所得有效波高更加准确,可以体现水位和流速变化对波高的影响。通过分析台风过程中的浪流耦合作用对海浪模拟结果的影响发现,浪流耦合作用对最大有效波高的影响空间分布差异明显,1307号、1319号、0908号和1617号四次台风过程中,耦合作用对工程区域最大有效波高的影响可达-1.0～1.0 m。对单点的模拟结果分析发现,流向和浪向同向时对浪高有削弱作用,反向时对浪高有增强作用。此外,浪流耦合作用对波向和谱峰周期也有明显的影响,在1319号台风过程中,波向变化可达20°,谱峰周期变化可达2 s。本文论证了采用海浪-海流耦合模式在重现海浪极值中的重要性,对海上工程设计具有参考价值。     

浪流耦合数值模式在苏北辐射沙洲海域的应用研究

采用三角形网格海洋模式ADCIRC-2DDI和海浪模式SWAN双向耦合模式,建立了苏北辐射沙洲海域高精度水动力模型,用以研究该海域天文潮-风暴潮-海浪相互作用。以2012年15号台风"布拉万"为例,分别采用WRF气象模型后报风场和台风模型风场进行台风期间水位和波浪场的数值模拟,与实测资料的对比结果显示模型较准确地模拟出了"布拉万"台风期间的风暴增水与海浪过程,但模拟的极值增水和二次增水时间较实测资料提前了3 h左右。对"布拉万"台风期间模拟结果的分析表明:在浅滩及浅滩前沿水域,水位和海流对海浪模拟结果具有显著影响,是否耦合计算的有效波高差异可达1 m以上;波浪对水位的影响具有空间差异,在水深大于15 m的区域,波浪引起的水位变化小于5 cm,在浅滩区域,波浪引起的水位变化在4～10 cm,是否考虑波浪耦合对漫滩区域的模拟结果影响较大,进行浅滩及浅滩前沿的水动力计算,有必要考虑浪流耦合过程。     

西北太平洋浪流相互作用对有效波高的影响研究

西北太平洋强流区会对海浪的特征和分布产生显著的影响,尤其是研究台风过程中海流与海浪的相互作用具有重要的研究意义。本文以ROMS海洋模式和SWAN海浪模式为基础,构建了浪流耦合模式系统,对2013年10月6-17日间的台风“丹娜丝”、“百合”、“韦帕”过程中西北太平洋浪流相互作用中海流对有效波高的影响进行了研究。通过对比模式模拟有效波高与浮标观测资料,发现耦合后的有效波高比非耦合结果更接近观测值,耦合模式中海流的存在对有效波高的分布有明显的影响。研究表明,特别是在有效波高峰值处,海流引起的有效波高增大最大可达1 m。海浪浪向及流向的空间分布以及中国近海浮标处浪向与流向的时间序列表明,流向与浪向反向时,海流的影响造成有效波高增大;二者同向时,有效波高减小。海流对有效波高的调整会沿着海浪传播的方向传播相当一段距离。在西北太平洋的海浪场计算中,引入海流的耦合模式计算结果对改善强流区海浪预报具有重要意义,并且海流的模拟精度对于高精度的海浪预报非常重要。

钦州湾台风浪的多年一遇极值推算

利用WAVEWATCH Ⅲ(WW3)和SWAN海浪模式模拟了1949—2005年间对钦州湾海域影响较大的台风浪.以模拟结果为基础,利用皮尔逊Ⅲ(P-Ⅲ)频率适线法推算了钦州湾湾外深水的累积频率波高和平均波周期(Tm)的多年一遇极值,同时模拟了其间在百年一遇高潮水位条件下的台风浪,以及在百年一遇高潮水位、百年一遇风暴潮增水共同作用下对钦州湾影响较大的台风产生的波浪场.使用P-Ⅲ法推算了在极端天气下,钦州湾湾内统计点的累积波高和平均波周期的多年一遇极值.研究结果表明,由于湾内浅滩较多,波浪在传播过程中水体底部摩擦使能量耗损明显,所以湾内波高较小,湾口处的波高大于内湾处的波高.近岸海区的波浪耗散、破碎等物理过程比较强烈,因此近岸统计点C1处的波高极值最小,其最大波高向岸边快速减弱并沿东向传播.在极端天气情况下,波浪在传播过程中发生破碎,波高衰减显著.     

水动力时空变化对近岸风浪演化的影响——以渤海湾西南岸为例

采用SWAN模型和ADCIRC模型建立了风浪、潮汐和水流联合作用的耦合数值模式,并通过渤海湾西南岸实测资料对该模式进行了验证。利用该模式分析了近岸区水位和流场时空变化对风浪模拟结果的影响,计算结果表明水位变化对近岸区风浪模拟结果有显著影响,特别是中等大风过程高潮位时波高受水位影响的变化幅值可达0.5m以上,且水深越浅影响越大。但在岸滩平缓的近岸海域由于流速、流向的时空变化不太剧烈,流场作用和波浪辐射应力作用对波浪场的影响都基本可以忽略。在模拟近岸风浪过程时,应选用耦合模式。     

基于浪流耦合模型的台风浪数值模拟

基于CCMP风场资料,采用无结构网格、浪-流双向实时耦合模型FVCOM-SWAVE,模拟强热带风暴"米雷"在中国近海区域产生的海浪场,将耦合模型模拟的有效波高和平均周期与实测浮标资料进行比对,发现模拟结果的各类误差总体较小,说明耦合模型能够较好地模拟考虑浪流相互作用下中国近海台风浪过程。对比考虑潮汐引起的水位变化与不考虑水位变化情况下对耦合模型模拟结果的影响,发现在近岸区域考虑潮水位情况下的有效波高和平均周期模拟结果周期性特征明显,说明潮汐对耦合模型在近岸处有效波高的模拟影响显著。     

海浪和潮汐风暴潮耦合过程的数值研究

海浪和风暴潮是重要的海洋灾害。对它们的精确预测和预报对沿岸海洋灾害的风险评估及海洋工程的设计具有极其重要的社会和经济价值。过去人们本多对波浪和风暴潮单独进行预报。实际上，风既产生浪又产生风暴潮，因此它们的产生必然存在相互作用。本研究的目的就是要建立一个渤海高分辨率的双向耦合的海浪和潮汐风暴潮数值模式，研究各耦合机制的影响，以期为黄河三角洲沿岸风暴潮海浪漫堤、漫滩风险评估提供更为准确的海浪风暴潮预测预报结果。 作者在研究中基于国际上先进的第三代海浪数值模式和潮汐风暴潮模式，建立了渤海2''×2''的海浪和潮汐风暴潮耦合数值模式。耦合模式充分考虑了三个主要耦合物理机制：依赖海浪状态的表面风应力，波-流相互作用底应力和辐射应力。波浪模式主要基于国际上第三代WAM模式，并对其进行了浅水效应的改进，以包括浅水深度破碎引起的能量耗散；潮汐风暴潮模式计算中开边界考虑了10个主要分潮K1，O1，P1，Q1，M2，S2，N2，K2，Sa，Ssa。依赖海浪状态的表面风应力取自Donelan等(1993)的结果,波-流相互作用底应力取自Signell等(1990)对 Grant and Madsen(1979)简化的结果，辐射应力以海浪谱表示。耦合计算中，两个模式通过三个耦合机制双向传递所需参量。 运用胜利油田中心一号观测的2个同步浪、潮、流资料对所建的耦合模式进行了检验，并通过耦合和非耦合模式结果的对比对各耦合机制的影响效应进行分析研究。研究结果表明，不同物理机制对波高的影响主要由能量方程中以辐射应力表示的波流相互作用所决定；在波-潮耦合作用中，依赖波令的表面风应力和辐射应力对水位是正效应，而波流相互作用底应力对水位是负效应。三个物理机制的综合净效应是正，可增加水位达25cm。比较显示，耦合模式的结果无论对波高还是水位都比非耦合模式的结果好，特别在峰值处。 本研究显示耦合模式的结果将改进海浪和风暴潮的模拟精度。所建立的耦合模式将对渤海海浪和风暴潮预报精度的提高，以及为黄河三角洲近岸海浪和风暴潮灾害的风险评估，提供更可靠的参数，具有重要的价值。

为了给江苏滨海海域海上风电场的结构设计提供更为合理的设计参数,本文利用定量分析法对比分析了采用不同推算方法推算得到的工程海域极值波高,讨论了不同推算方法的差异及影响。结果表明：采用年极值法、条件极值法（包括风暴统计法、阈值上限法）和组合法推算出的工程海域极值波高受理论频率曲线、热带风暴年均频次、极端设计风速和特定水位的影响较大。其中,热带风暴年均频次主要影响风暴统计法推算的结果,当热带风暴年均频次不小于1时,推算的结果趋于稳定,相对偏差小于5%;极端设计风速和特定水位主要影响组合法推算的结果,极端设计风速的选择主要影响极值波高在各个方向上的分布,特定水位的叠加主要影响极值波高的幅值;对于非特定水位下的极值波高,利用条件极值法中的风暴统计法推算的结果最大,为6.55 m;利用年极值法中P-Ⅲ型曲线推算的结果最小,为5.48 m;两者相对偏差约20%;对于特定水位下的极值波高,利用组合法推算出的NW—SE方向极值波高与水位呈正相关,即叠加正水位时,极值波高增大,叠加负水位时,极值波高减小,幅值变化可达±15%;且极值波高的方向分布与所采用的极端设计风速的方向分布相同,利用极值波高对应的设计...     

Model of the post-Cenozoic evolution of the cryolithozone of the shelf of the western part of the Laptev Sea

The analysis of the structure of the cryolithozone, facies, and thicknesses of the Quaternary sediments and the results of the physicochemical mathematical modeling of the modern shelf of the western part of the Laptev Sea support the influence of the Late Pleistocene glaciations on the heat conditions and the distribution of the permafrost in the area. A ～200-m thick glacier formed under aerial conditions from atmospheric precipitation represented the metamorphosed snow cover. According to the modeling, the long-living (from 60?50 to 10?4 ky) glacier reduced the thickness of the permafrost rocks in the reviewed shelf area for 280–360 m. The Holocene marine transgression additionally decreased the thickness from 50–140 m on the inner shelf to 220–350 m on the outer shelf. The modern submarine cryolithozone 450-0 m thick is wide-spread in the studied region from the coast to the shelf boundary (isobaths of 130–140 m), where it pinches out at a distance of ～380 km from the coast at a depth of ～250 m above the sea level.     

Investigation of the mechanism of the long-term evolution of the carbon cycle in the ecosystem of the Sevastopol bay

We analyze the components of the carbon system of the Sevastopol bay waters and the balance of main sediment-forming substances using the data of field investigations in 1998–2008. The interannual variations of total inorganic carbon and the equilibrium partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the bay water are noted. An increase in the flux of carbon dioxide into the bay and in the content of organic carbon in bottom sediments is revealed, and an explanation of this phenomenon is given. The priority accumulation of organic carbon in the sediments of the bay is established. We assess the interannual variation in the relative abundances of organic and inorganic carbon as an index of the carbon cycle stability.     

Contemporary state of the investigation of the influence of the discharge of rivers on the hydrologic structure of the Black Sea

We generalize and analyze the state of investigations of the influence of river waters on the hydrologic structure of the Black Sea. Specific features of the water, regime and hydrography of rivers flowing into the sea, data on the discharge of rivers, and intrayear and interyear variability of the discharge are presented. We discuss and analyze works studying the transformation of river waters, routes of desalinized sea waters, and their influence on the thermohaline structure and dynamic regime of the sea.

Modelling of the ecosystem of the Black-Sea shelf zone near the estuary of the Danube

We analyze the results of numerical calculations performed according to the three-dimensional interdisciplinary model of an ecological system of the Black-Sea shelf zone near the estuary of the Danube. The complete system of equations of hydrothermodynamics is solved together with transport equations of the advection-diffusion-reaction type used to describe the transformation of a substance (nitrogen) between the components of the characteristic vectors of the ecosystem: plankton, detritus, and biogenic elements (nitrates). We describe the distinctive features of the circumcontinental distribution of components obtained as a result of numerical experiments and present arguments for the conclusion that the ecosystem of the Danube estuary water area plays the role of a buffer zone between the press of the Danubian biogenic pollutions and the neighbouring areas of the shelf zone and open sea.

Relationship between the path of the Kuroshio in the south of Japan and the path of the Kuroshio Extension in the east

A relationship between paths of the Kuroshio and Kuroshio Extension (KE) is investigated, using the satellite-derived altimetry dataset of 1993–2008. When the Kuroshio takes the nearshore nonlarge meander path or typical large meander path and resultantly goes through the deeper channel (about 2500 m) of the Izu-Ogasawara Ridge, the KE path adopts a relatively stable state with the two quasi-stationary meanders. On the other hand, when the Kuroshio takes the offshore nonlarge meander path and then passes over the shallower part of the Ridge (about 1000 m), the KE path tends to be convoluted, i.e., an unstable state.     

Dynamics of the ice cover and peculiarities of the ice transportation of the sediments at the tidal flats of the Kandalaksha Gulf of the White Sea

Ten years of semistationary studies of the interaction of the ice cover and the coastal relief of the Kandalakhsa Gulf in the White Sea allowed us to reveal the peculiarities of these processes in the warm and cold years and the mechanisms of the origination of ice forms, including ice tents, which govern the character of the tidal flats. Three dynamic fast ice zones are distinguished by their geomorphological location, morphology, and ice dynamics. The dependence of the mechanisms and volumes of the enrichment of the fast ice in the sediments on the coastal zone??s relief was established. At the coast of the Kindo Peninsula (Velikaya Salma Strait), the ice mostly contains fine-sandy sediments. Coarser sediments, including boulders, are occasional and frozen into the ice at the contact of the fast ice and the bottom. At the expense of the ice??s spreading by 4?C6 times in the warm years and 2?C4 times in the cold years, several thousand tons of sediments mostly from the tidal flat??s surface (100?C700 m³ from 1 km of coast in the wide tidal flats and <50 m³ on the steep coasts) are delivered to the water area.     

Parameters of the sediments of the deep-water basin of the Black Sea

The methodology and the first results of the computations of the volumes, masses, and growth rates of the sedimentary body of the buried Black Sea basin are presented. Their temporal evolution reflects the regional paleogeodynamics, in particular, the reorientation of the vector of the relative movement of the Arabian and Eurasian lithospheric plates and the related intensification of their collision in the late Miocene-Pliocene.     

Variability of the nutrient runoff of the rivers of the Arctic Basin

The spatiotemporal variability of the hydrochemical composition of the riverine runoff in nearmouth areas is presented using the example of selected rivers of the Arctic Basin. The temporal dynamics of the riverine nutrient runoff are mainly determined by the seasonal and interseasonal variations in the drainage basins. The spatial variations in the chemical composition of riverine waters in the near-mouth areas are mainly caused by the dynamics of the water flow and the river bed relief and, to a lesser degree, by biochemical processes. It is shown that the variations in the nutrient composition of the waters in near-mouth areas are comparable in magnitude to those at the river-sea geochemical barriers.     

A model of the dynamics of the ecosystem of the Sea of Azov

We use many-year archival observations of hydrologic and hydrobiologic state of the Sea of Azov for the identification of the structure of a model of its ecosystem. The ecosystem model, supplemented with expert estimates of bioresource consumption (fish reserve), contamination level, and possible ecologic fines for violation of the sea natural state, is formalized by the method of system dynamics. Hereat, the major part of influence functions is found in terms of observational data with application of self-organization algorithms. We also present the results of simulated experiments with the model of the ecosystem, which enable us to analyse scenarios of its behaviour under the influence of various external factors (wind, river discharge, water exchange with the Black Sea, etc.).
