Water wedge advancing along the interface between two homogeneous layers

The behavior of the water wedge advancing along the interface between two homogeneous layers is investigated experimentally. The horizontally intruding wedge is strongly influenced by the detailed structure of the interface, even when the interface is sharp enough for its position to be visually determined. Within our experimental range, the intrusion velocity is very slow and depends on the thickness of the interface along which the water wedge intrudes. The wedge length is well described by the relation which is derived using an analogy to the linearly stratified case. The results could be useful for understanding the generation mechanism of the oceanic microstructure.

Volume transport of the western boundary current penetrating into a marginal sea

The amount of penetration of a western boundary current into a marginal sea which is connected to an open ocean by two narrow straits is estimated from a linear, steady and barotropic theoretical model. In this model the western boundary current in the open ocean is driven by a wind stress imposed at the sea surface. The inflow of the water of the open ocean into the marginal sea is caused by the pressure difference between two straits produced by the wind-driven circulation in the open ocean.Main external parameters are combined into two non-dimensional parameters; and (the ratio of the depth of the marginal sea to that of the open ocean), whereb is the distance between north and south boundaries of the ocean,D ₀ is the depth of the open ocean, is the latitudinal variation of the Coriolis parameter andR is the coefficient of friction. The friction is assumed to be proportional to the flow velocity.In the limit of infinite the volume transport into the marginal sea is not affected by the width of two straits and . It is mainly controlled by the wind stress and the positions of two straits. For finite values of , however, the volume transport depends considerably on and the width of the straits.Guided by both this model and physical considerations, we obtained a relation between the volume transport into the marginal sea and the external parameters. This relation predicts that about 2 % of the volume transport of the Kuroshio penetrates into the Japan Sea.     

On nonlinear sea waves and the induced mean flow

The nonlinear modulation of water wave groups is investigated and the interaction equations with induced flows are obtained. The analysis is performed up to the third order of the wave steepness a by treating it as a small parameter in the singular perturbation technique by means of the Krylov-Bogoliubov-Mitropolski method. The equation which governs the development of the wave envelope is found by a modification of the ordinary nonlinear Schroedinger equation for the case of uniform depth. The equations governing the behavior of the induced mean flow are examined by deriving the second order flow when the form of the modulated wave train is prescribed. The present theory can describe the mean flow caused by the radiation stress. Some applications containing the monochromatic wave instability are given to confirm the theoretical results.An outline of this paper was presented at The Ocean Surface Symposium (Sendai, 1984).     

Spectral modification and geographic redistribution of the semi-diurnal internal tide

A realistic-geometry global baroclinic tidal model forced with a single tidal constituent $(M_2)$ is used to investigate the generation of the internal tide and the associated radiated baroclinic energy flux. The model internal wave spectrum is populated at discrete frequency multiples $(1/2\text{,}1\text{,}3/2\text{,}2\text{,}5/2\text{,}\dots )$ of $M_2$. The $1/2M_2$ subharmonic is particularly energetic at its turning latitude of $\pm 28.8°$. Poleward only integer superharmonics of $M_2$ are significantly excited. The subharmonic turning latitude (SHTL) disturbance has high vertical wavenumber and shear, provided that internal tide energy level exceeds a threshold value. Under these circumstances, Richardson numbers smaller than 1/4 occur in the upper few hundred meters in both the realistic-geometry model and in a complimentary idealized geometry two-dimensional (2D) model. In the 2D model, the disturbance enables Richardson number dependent diapycnal entrainment to effect a modification of the stratification of the upper 400 m of the ocean, and poleward cross-SHTL energy flux falls to 10% of its pre-instability value due to energy transfer to the non-propagating (i.e., inertial) subharmonic. Realistic-geometry simulations suggest a more modest 40% decrease in net flux, although the strongest beams are almost entirely shut down. The predicted energy flux-convergence implies a thermocline dissipation rate in the 28.5–30.0°N latitude band of $5\times {10}^{-9}\text{W}{\text{kg}}^{-1}$, with an associated diapycnal diffusivity of ${10}^{-4}{\text{m}}^2{\text{s}}^{-1}$. North of Hawaii the implied regional dissipation rate reaches $4\times {10}^{-8}\text{W}{\text{kg}}^{-1}$ with an associated thermocline diffusivity of $8\times {10}^{-4}{\text{m}}^2{\text{s}}^{-1}$. Investigations of subgridscale parameterization and resolution sensitivity suggest that the basic character and magnitude of the predictions are robust to details of the numerical solutions. The present results are taken as further evidence that an increase in shear-driven turbulent mixing in the upper ocean is predicted at special latitudes. It is suggested that the search should be directed to regions where intense low-mode internal tide beams cross their subharmonic turning latitude.     

Reflection and breaking of internal waves on a sloping beach

The reflection and breaking of internal waves on a sloping beach were studied in a small wavetank filled with water and petroleum. The dependence of the reflection coefficient of the internal waves on wave steepness and on beach slope is found to be very similar to that of surface waves. The reflection coefficient is small for the very gentle slope, increases rapidly as the slope increases, and becomes almost constant for the steep slope. The reflection coefficient decreases with increase of the wave steepness. Also, the transition slope at which the coefficient curve has the maximum gradient increases with increase of the wave steepness. Breaking pattern of the internal waves is classified into four types; breaking, semi-breaking, wrinkle-generating, and non-breaking. Their dependence on beach slope and wave steepness is examined. The regular sequence of the four breaking types from breaking to non-breaking is observed with decrease of wave steepness or with increase of beach slope.

Phase velocity of semi-diurnal internal waves at Ocean Weather Station T

Phase velocity of semi-diurnal internal waves is determined from differences between phases at three stations which were situated to form a triangle in the vicinity of sta. T (29N, 135E). The wave phases are estimated from temporal variations in depths of isotherms obtained from serial measurements of vertical temperature profiles at these stations. The measurements were carried out in cooperative operation of two vessels, the R. V.Tansei-maru and theNojima, during the period from 30 July to 1 August 1965. Wave propagation with the speed of about 2 m/s in the direction from east to west is obtained as an average over several isotherms of temperature from 19C to 23C. The area of measurement is to the west of Izu-Mariana ridge and the distance from the ridge to the station is about 500 km, which would be about 5 times as large as the wave length of the internal waves under consideration, and so it is possible to suppose that the internal waves observed generated at the ridge and propagated to the area without being subjected to serious refraction, scattering, reflection and decay.     

均匀层浅海声场与海底反射损失的关系

海底对浅海声传播的影响很大。海底有复杂的多层结构。在计算声场时如果把多层海底的影响都考虑进去,就会使计算复杂化,得不出一个清晰的物理图象。因此,在计算中往往使用海底反射损失系数来代替多层海底的模型。但海底反射损失与角度有复杂的依赖关系。为了计算方便,提出过不少简化模型。已经使用的模型有反射损失与角度无关、与角度一次方成正比;后来又提出反射损失在某一临界角之下与角度一次方成正比,在临界角之上与角度无关的三参数模型,克服了远场与近场衔接的问题[1,2]。但这些模型不一定在所有情况下都能反映海底反射损失与角度的关系的主要特征。本文提出一个近似方法,可以计算海底反射损失按任意规律随角度单调上升的情况下的声场。
