平均海平面模型的确立方法研究

针对平均海平面的定义,分别介绍了利用验潮站资料和卫星高度计资料确立平均海平面的方法原理,并对2种方法的特性及存在的问题进行了比较阐述,确定了以沿岸长期验潮站为控制条件,对卫星测高数据确定的高分辨率高精度的平均海平面网格模型进行改正,最终构建平均海平面与国家大地坐标系关系的研究方法.     

杭州湾潮波三维数值模拟

采用“σ坐标下的三维数值模式”来模拟杭州湾三维潮波运动,水平方向上以较小尺度的差分网格覆盖计算区,垂直方向上给予均匀的分层,对占本湾水位谱总能量80％的半日潮波M_2和半日潮波m_1((K_1+O_1)/2)两类进行了数值模拟。水平流动和潮位的计算结果与相应的实测值拟合良好。计算表明,水平潮流具有明显的往复流性质,主要呈东-西方向;流速自湾口向湾顶增加,M_2分潮流最大可达270cm/s左右,m_1分潮流最大可达24cm/s左右。在太阴时1和13时,于湾的中部偏南存在一个弱的逆时针向的大涡旋;在7和19时于上述位置存在一个弱的顺时针向的大涡旋。垂直流速振幅一般为10~(-2)—2×10~(-2)cm/s,最大可达2.5×10~(-2)cm/s,位于乍浦附近的底层水域中。     

Tide versus storm in Epeiric coastal deposition: Two Proterozoic sequences,India

The relative importance of tides and storms in coastal sedimentation in ancient epeiric seas is frequently problematical. Here we appraise the depositional regimes in two Proterozoic Vindhyan formations in India with the aim of elucidating the records of each of these processes. The respective products of the two processes are not easily distinguished as both of them entail repeated fluctuations in water level and depositional energy. Two orders of fluctuation are recognized in both formations. The nature and scale of these two orders of fluctuation along with high-resolution facies analysis make the distinction between the respective products of the two processes possible. Many of the features so long counted as characteristics of tidal rhythms, in the studied formations, exclusively or frequently manifest waxing and waning of storms or fairweather–storm cyclicity. This study highlights the need for reevaluation of ancient coastal sequences in epeiric setting.
