Analysis of current velocity and temperature records obtained from moored buoy systems deployed off the east coast of Japan
reveals the intermittent occurrence of semi-diurnal internal tides and their manner of propagation. The internal tidal waves
clearly propagate toward the shore, which is confirmed by cross-correlation of the onshore current velocity and temperature
between neighboring stations. The propagation speed of the internal tide increases with water depth except in the area furthest
offshore. In this area, motions near the second mode seem to occur occasionally, while in the nearshore area the motions for
the most part consist of the first mode.
Through harmonic analysis, it is shown that theM
1 internal motions were not vertically homogeneous. That is, the internal motions are greater at the lower level in the nearshore
area while they are greater at the upper level in the offshore area. Pathways along which the energy of the internal tide
should propagate are estimated in such a way that the characteristic curves pass through the area over which relatively large
onshore/offshoreM
2 velocity is distributed. The movement of the characteristic ray of a certain phase explains the observed phase velocity estimated
from the cross-correlation diagrams. Internal motions around the characteristic ray were pronounced in a rather wide area.
Thus, it is suggested that the generation region of the internal tide in the present study area might be relatively wide. 相似文献

Matsuno and Nagata (1987) showed numerically that the spreading characteristics of the discharged heated water from power plants of existing scale is significantly influenced by the earth's rotation effect. Although the effect of the enhancement of the Coriolis parameter on the spreading characteristics of the formed warm water mass was discussed in order to demonstrate the rotation effect, other parameters such as the density difference between the discharged heated water and ambient water and the vertical eddy viscosity and diffusivity were fixed. In this paper, the dependence of the spreading characteristics on these parameters is examined. Then, it is shown that the overall shape of the formed warm water mass and density and velocity structure strongly depend on these parameters. Also, it is indicated that the behavior of the warm water mass under the rotation effects is too complicated to be described with a few parameters. For example, the internal radius of deformation seems to be one of the determinative parameters, and the increase of the density difference between discharged water and ambient water has a similar effect on the shape of the formed warm water mass as a decrease of the Coriolis parameter. However, a change of the two values has different effects on the detailed density structure and current structure of the warm water mass. The Prandtl number seems to determine some aspects of the veloczty field such as velocity magnitude and width of the southward flowing current zone. However, other features such as the thickness of the warm water mass are not determined by the Prandtl number. 相似文献

The possible origin and cause of the less saline shelf water detected in the Kuroshio subsurface layer around the shelf edge
of the East China Sea are investigated using observational results obtained in May 1998–2001 in conjunction with a dataset
archived by Japan Oceanographic Data Center and a numerical model. The observations show that subsurface intrusions of less
saline water are always detected in May in layers above 24.5σθ isopycnal surface, and that salinity inversions (i.e., areas
in which the less saline water lies beneath the saline water) are detected around the trough of the Kuroshio frontal eddy
(or wave). Analyses of the archived dataset reveal that the isopycnal surface of 24.5σθ is the deepest layer of the Kuroshio
pycnocline outcropping to the sea surface on the shallow shelf in early spring. Outcropping isopycnals above 24.5σθ encounter
a less saline water plume originating from the Changjiang, especially in the western East China Sea. Thereafter, the less
saline water moves along isopycnal layers and reaches the Kuroshio front around the shelf edge. Numerical models demonstrate
that, when the frontal wave captures the less saline water, the shelf water takes the form of a salinity inversion in the
trough because isohalines in the frontal wave have a phase lag between the upper and lower layers in consequence of the baroclinic
instability. 相似文献
