Proof of Six-Wave Resonance Conditions of Ocean Surface Gravity Waves in Deep Water

A necessary big step up in the modern water wave theories and their widespread application in ocean engineering is how to obtain 6-wave resonance conditions and to prove it. In the light of the existing forms and characteristics of 3-wave, 4-wave and 5-wave resonance conditions, the 6-wave resonance conditions are proposed and proved for currently a maximum wave-wave resonance interactions of the ocean surface gravity waves in deep water, which will be indispensable to both the Kolmogorov spectrum of the corresponding universal wave turbulence and a synthetic 4-5-6-wave resonant model for the ocean surface gravity waves.     

Atmospheric Internal Gravity Waves Caused by Tsunamis over Kuril Islands

MODIS (Aqua and Terra) space images of the northwest part of the Pacific Ocean at instants of considerable tsunamis in 2009–2011 have been analyzed. Periodic cloud structures typical for internal gravity waves (IGWs) in the atmosphere have been revealed in the region of the Kuril Islands in five cases. It has been shown that the meteorological conditions observed during those events favored the appearance of such phenomena. The continuous oceanic upwelling in the region of the Kuril–Kamchatka Trench is a favorable factor for IGW generation due to the creation of temperature contrasts observed both in warm and cold seasons between the ground layer of the atmosphere and ocean surface. The estimate of the structure of cloud manifestations of atmospheric waves by satellite images testifies also to the influence of the Kuril Ridge orography on their appearance and propagation over the water area under study. The increase in amplitudes and duration of oscillations caused by the tsunami in the shelf zone can be an auxiliary factor for the IGW generation over coastal territories.

为探讨声学方法监测(反演)海洋内波的可行性,分析ASIAEX2001亚洲海海洋声学实验定点温度链实验数据,结果表明：实验期间存在M2内潮波、周期10～30min非线性内波现象,并观测到双温跃层同相传播“双非线性内波”。分别对垂直和平行于内波传播方向传播声场进行了数值计算分析。垂直于内波传播方向的声传播计算结果表明：简正波波数时间演化函数的频谱与内波引起的声速剖面变化频谱基本一致;简正波系数(模值)时间演化函数的频谱与内波引起的声源位置处的声速演化函数的频谱基本一致;高阶简正波波数差随时间的变化要比低阶简正波波数差小约1个量级。平行于内波传播方向的声传播计算结果表明：内潮波主要导致相邻简正波间耦合;非线性内波包能够导致跨号甚至垮多号简正波间耦合。讨论了2种海洋内波声学监测方法。

The Effect of Internal Gravity Waves on Fluctuations in Meteorological Parameters of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer

Variations in the intensity of turbulence during wave activity in the stable atmospheric boundary layer over a homogeneous steppe surface have been analyzed. Eight wave activity episodes recorded with a Doppler sodar in August 2015 at the Tsimlyansk Scientific Station of the Obukhov Institute of Atmospheric Physics have been studied. These episodes include seven trains of Kelvin–Helmholtz waves and one train of buoyancy waves. Variations in the rms deviation of the vertical wind-velocity component, the temperature structure parameter, and vertical heat and momentum fluxes have been estimated for each episode of wave activity. It has been found that Kelvin–Helmholtz waves slightly affect the intensity of turbulence, while buoyancy waves cause the temperature structure parameter and the vertical fluxes to increase by more than an order of magnitude.

南海北部非线性内波的特征研究及生成模拟

海洋内波由于其对海洋资源、海洋军事和工程的重要性而成为海洋学中的前沿课题。文中基于SAR遥感数据,结合KDV方程和Bragg散射机制反演内波波速、半振幅宽度、深度和振幅等动力学参数。对南海北部的非线性内波进行案例研究,由吕宋海峡传来的内波遇到东沙岛发生破裂,一部分继续向西传播,另一部分向西北沿等深线垂直方向传播。波向作为一个重要指标可以有效反映内波传播变化特征,文中以方向谱模型计算同一潮周期内内波传播的方向变化,并验证了180°方向模糊问题是可以解决的。同时内波传播将次表层海水和叶绿素从下层抬升,叶绿素浓度最高值达到0.35 mg/m~3,随着内波传播在0.08~0.35 mg/m~3范围内波动并逐渐趋于背景浓度值。研究使用海底地形与潮流数值合成的OTIS(Oregon State University Tidal Inversion Software)模型对南海北部大陆架区域的内波进行生成模拟,结果表明:当暖水流经吕宋海峡进入南海北部,body forcing1.5 m~2/s~2的海域能够激发内波的生成,其中兰屿岛和恒春半岛等海底山脊起到了关键作用。     

Ocean Waves: Half-a-Century of Discovery

While the nature of most ocean waves has long been known and their basic physics understood since the nineteenth century, intense study of ocean waves during the second half of the twentieth century has taken the subject from the realm of mathematical exercises to that of practical engineering. Modern understanding of the generation, propagation and interactions of ocean waves with each other and with oceanic features has advanced to a quantitative level offering predictive capacity. This paper presents a brief qualitative review of advances in knowledge of sound waves, wind waves, tsunamis, tides, internal waves and long-period vorticity waves. The review is aimed at non-specialists who may benefit from an overview of the current state of the subject and access to a bibliography of general-interest references. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
