Propagation of internal waves up continental slope and shelf

In a two-dimensional and linear framework, a transformation was developed to derive eigensolutions of internal waves over a subcritical hyperbolic slope and to approximate the continental slope and shelf. The transformation converts a hyperbolic slope in physical space into a flat bottom in transform space while the governing equations of internal waves remain hyperbolic. The eigensolutions are further used to study the evolution of linear internal waves as it propagates to subcritical continental slope and shelf. The stream function, velocity, and vertical shear of velocity induced by internal wave at the hyperbolic slope are analytically expressed by superposition of the obtained eigensolutions. The velocity and velocity shear increase as the internal wave propagates to a hyperbolic slope. They become very large especially when the slope of internal wave rays approaches the topographic slope, which is consistent with the previous studies.     

利用卫星高度计资料对台湾海峡流量变化的诊断分析

利用AVISO的MSLA海面高度距平资料和NCEP风场资料，应用张庆华等导出的渠道流的解，诊断计算了1993-2001年台湾海峡流量及其变化。结果表明，台湾海峡的年平均流量为1．27Sv，夏季最大，平均为2．27Sv；秋季最小，平均为0．46Sv，季节变化明显。分析认为，台湾海峡流量变化的决定性因素是台湾海峡南北方向海平面倾斜。局地风的驱动是次要因素，它所产生的流量变化具有显著的规律性，基本为南向流。

物理模拟较大海域的环境动力场是物理模型试验的一个发展方向,也是近海环境治理的有效研究手段。对具有较大尺度海域的模拟需要考虑地转缺失的影响。从潮流基本控制方程出发,通过对方程的无因次化,给出评价柯氏力作用大小的方法,并就中国典型的海湾进行尺度分析,量化物理模拟时因地转缺失引起的偏差程度,讨论在这些海域是否可以付诸物理模型试验。同时,还导出了潮流泥沙试验和潮流污染物扩散试验的相似比尺关系。     

THE DISPERSION RELATION FOR NONLINEAR WAVES IN A DEVELOPING PROCESS

We derived the dispersion relation (correct to the second order in wave slope) of nonlinear waves in a developing process, proved that there are mainly three time scales in a developing process of nonlinear waves governed by coupling mechanisms. The three time scales are oscillation, evolution and developing time scales. We also proved that even in the developing process of nonlinear waves, there is no term in dispersion relation in proportion to the first order of wave slope. In a stationary case our results agreed with the discrete form obtained by Weber in 1977. Our computed results of wave speed in the wallops spectrum were in good agreement with the laboratory measurements made by Ramamonjiarisoa (1976) in energy-containing range.

长江口外及浙江沿岸夏季上升流的潮生机制

基于普林斯顿海洋模式(POM)建立了MASNUM (Laboratory of MArine Science and NUmerical Modeling)海浪-潮流-环流耦合模式, 对长江口外及浙江沿岸海域夏季的上升流现象进行了数值模拟, 并从潮运动的角度分析了其动力机制, 对该海域潮致上升流的形成机理给出了一种新的解释. 研究表明, 该海域上升流的潮生机制同时体现在正压和斜压2个方面: 单纯的正压潮余流能够通过底层辐合和沿地形坡度爬升两种过程产生上升流; 在斜压海洋环境下, 强烈的潮混合作用在近岸陆坡区形成显著的锋面, 锋面两侧存在明显的密度差异, 该密度差异造成的水平压力梯度诱生出沿锋面的次级环流, 其上升流分支出现在锋区附近. 数值试验表明, 潮运动是该海域上升流的一个极为重要的诱发因子, 甚至占主导地位. 研究还发现, 与单纯模拟M2分潮相比, 对MS2, S₂, K₁及O₁ 4个主要分潮耦合计算有助于改善正压潮致上升流的模拟结果.
