南海东北部剪切流场对内波影响的研究进展

南海东北部受黑潮入侵、季风等动力因素的影响,背景剪切流场复杂,涡旋众多,水体垂向层结季节性变化明显,同时又因吕宋海峡的复杂底地形和强潮流的影响,内潮、内孤立波现象显著。但是,以往关于内潮、内孤立波的研究很少考虑到背景剪切流场和涡旋对其影响,因而难以揭示内波的生成、传播和演变规律。主要概述了南海东北部的剪切流、涡旋和内波等多种中尺度物理现象及其之间的相互作用的研究进展,进而提出未来关于南海东北部剪切流场对内波生成、传播和演变影响研究中的一些问题和研究思路。     

Mooring observations of internal solitary waves in the deep basin west of Luzon Strait

A total of 137 internal solitary waves （ISWs） are captured during a field experiment conducted in the deep basin west of the Luzon Strait （LS） from March to August, 2010. Mooring observations reveal that a fully developed ISW owns a maximum westward velocity of more than 1.8 m/s and an amplitude of about 200 m. The ISWs in the South China Sea （SCS） are most active in July, which may be due to the strong stratification in summer. Most of the ISW episodes are detected around and after the 1st or 15th lunar day, indicating that the ISW in the SCS is triggered by astronomic tides. Half part of the observed ISWs were detected around 19：00 local time, which can be explained by the fact that type-a ISWs emerged in the evening at roughly the same time each day. The propagation direction of the ISWs and the astronomic tides in the LS show that the area south of the Batan Island is probably the main source region of the type-a ISWs, while the area south of Itbayat Island and south of the Batan Island is likely the main source region of the type-b ISWs observed at the mooring. Moreover, for the resonance of semidiurnal internal tides emitting from the double ridges in the LS, the underwater ridge south of the Itbayat Island and south of the Batan Island is believed to favor the generation of the energetic ISWs.     

Generation and propagation of the ULF planetary-scale electromagnetic wavy structures in the ionosphere

In the present article, the results of theoretical investigation of the dynamics of generation and propagation of planetary (with wavelength 10³ km and more) ultra-low frequency (ULF) electromagnetic wave structures in the dissipative ionosphere are given. The physical mechanism of generation of the planetary electromagnetic waves is proposed. It is established, that the global factor, acting permanently in the ionosphere—inhomogeneity (latitude variation) of the geomagnetic field and angular velocity of the earth's rotation—generates the fast and slow planetary ULF electromagnetic waves. The waves propagate along the parallels to the east as well as to the west. In E-region the fast waves have phase velocities (2-20) km s⁻¹and frequencies (10⁻¹-10⁻⁴) s⁻¹; the slow waves propagate with local winds velocities and have frequencies (10⁻⁴-10⁻⁶) s⁻¹. In F-region the fast ULF electromagnetic waves propagate with phase velocities tens-hundreds km s⁻¹ and their frequencies are in the range of (10-10⁻³) s⁻¹. The slow mode is produced by the dynamoelectric field, it represents a generalization of the ordinary Rossby-type waves in the rotating ionosphere and is caused by the Hall effect in the E-layer. The fast disturbances are the new modes, which are associated with oscillations of the ionospheric electrons frozen in the geomagnetic field and are connected with the large-scale internal vortical electric field generation in the ionosphere. The large-scale waves are weakly damped. The features and the parameters of the theoretically investigated electromagnetic wave structures agree with those of large-scale ULF midlatitude long-period oscillations (MLO) and magnetoionospheric wave perturbations (MIWP), observed experimentally in the ionosphere. It is established, that because of relevance of Coriolis and electromagnetic forces, generation of slow planetary electromagnetic waves at the fixed latitude in the ionosphere can give rise to the reverse of local wind structures and to the direction change of general ionospheric circulation. It is considered one more class of the waves, called as the slow magnetohydrodinamic (MHD) waves, on which inhomogeneity of the Coriolis and Ampere forces do not influence. These waves appear as an admixture of the slow Alfven- and whistler-type perturbations. The waves generate the geomagnetic field from several tens to several hundreds nT and more. Nonlinear interaction of the considered waves with the local ionospheric zonal shear winds is studied. It is established, that planetary ULF electromagnetic waves, at their interaction with the local shear winds, can self-localize in the form of nonlinear solitary vortices, moving along the latitude circles westward as well as eastward with velocity, different from phase velocity of corresponding linear waves. The vortices are weakly damped and long lived. They cause the geomagnetic pulsations stronger than the linear waves by one order. The vortex structures transfer the trapped particles of medium and also energy and heat. That is why such nonlinear vortex structures can be the structural elements of strong macroturbulence of the ionosphere.     

南海北部反气旋涡对内孤立波传播的影响研究

海洋内波具有振幅大、流速强和周期短等特点,可对海上施工和水下作业安全造成严重威胁。南海北部陆坡海域是内孤立波和中尺度涡频发的海域之一,研究中尺度涡对内孤立波传播的影响对深入了解南海北部内孤立波在反气旋涡过境时的传播特征、提高该海域内波预报准确性具有重要意义。基于此,本文利用布放于南海北部东沙群岛西侧陆坡海域的潜标观测数据,针对2017年3月一个反气旋中尺度涡经过潜标站位的过程,探讨了中尺度涡对内孤立波传播的影响。结果表明：①受反气旋涡影响,内孤立波的平均振幅减小28.6%,其主要原因是中尺度涡导致等温线下压,进而对内孤立波的振幅产生抑制作用,其影响过程可用趋浅温跃层理论描述。②反气旋涡影响期间,内孤立波的平均波速由1.26 m/s增大到1.47 m/s,增幅约16.7%,反映了反气旋涡对内孤立波波速的强化作用,这种强化作用主要是由中尺度涡边缘流场引起背景流场变化所致,而中尺度涡引起的温盐场变化对内孤立波波速的影响相对较小。     

Generation and evolution of internal solitary waves in the southern Taiwan Strait

ABSTRACT

The generation processes and potential energy sources of internal solitary waves (ISWs) in the southern Taiwan Strait are investigated by driving a high resolution non-hydrostatic numerical model with realistic background conditions. Two main types of ISWs are clarified according to their different energy sources. One is generated by the nonlinear disintegration of remote internal tides emanating from Luzon Strait, and the other type is generated by local tide-topography interaction at the continental slope. The basic properties and evolution processes differ between these two kinds of ISWs. The waves originated from the remote internal tides at Luzon Strait have amplitudes comparable to previous field observations. In contrast, the ISWs generated locally are much weaker than observed waves, even in the presence of a steady offshore background current, which intensifies the generation of onshore ISWs. The ISWs induced by remotely generated M₂ internal tides are stronger than those induced by K₁ internal tides, and the fraction of internal wave energy transmitted onto the shelf is not significantly influenced by the intensity of remotely generated internal tides.     

Effects of tidal currents on nonlinear internal solitary waves in the South China Sea

The propagation and fission process of internal solitary waves (ISWs) with amplitudes of about 170 m are simulated in the northeast of the South China Sea (NSCS) by using the generalized Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation under continuous stratification. More attention is paid to the effects of the ebb and flood background currents on the fission process of ISWs. This kind of background current is provided by the composed results simulated in terms of monthly mean baroclinic circulation and barotropic tidal current. It is found that the obtained relation of the number of fission solitons to the water depth and stratification is roughly in accordance with the fission law derived by Djordjevic and Redekopp in 1978; however, there exists obvious difference between the effects of the ebb and flood background currents on the wave-lengths of fission solitons (defined as the distance between two neighboring peaks of ISWs). The difference in nonlinearity coefficient α between the ebb and flood background currents is a main cause for the different wave-lengths of fission solitons.     

孤立波特性的实验室模拟

孤立波是浅海水域中经常出现的一种波动现象,常用来描述海啸和风暴等引起的巨浪以及波长较长的表面波的某些特性。采用"水体瞬间坍塌"的方法产生孤立波,在二维波浪水槽内进行系列实验。实验结果表明,产生的孤立波波高与水深之比可达1.29;箱体宽度及箱内水体高度对波高影响较大;得到孤立波波高计算公式,可较好地反映孤立波波高与箱体宽度、水深和箱内水体高度之间的变化关系,并给出了公式的适用范围。     

基于MCC理论的内孤立波数值模拟

基于MCC(Miyata-Choi-Camassa)理论,将内孤立波诱导上下层深度平均水平速度为入口条件,结合理想流体完全非线性欧拉方程,建立了两层流体中内孤立波生成与传播的CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics)数值水槽方法。在系列数值模拟基础上,获得了内孤立波设计振幅与数值模拟振幅之间的相关关系,实现了在振幅可控条件下的内孤立波数值模拟。结果表明,在极限振幅范围内,数值模拟所得内孤立波波形均与MCC理论解吻合良好,而KdV(Korteweg-de Vries)和mKdV(modi-fied KdV)理论解只适用于小振幅的情况。同时,利用CFD数值模拟结果,对内孤立波诱导流速场特性进行了分析,结果表明内孤立波诱导水平速度在上层及波面下方流体层中垂向衰减很小,但在内界面与波面之间流体层中垂向衰减明显。

不同TVD 格式对内孤立波数值模拟结果影响研究

为了研究不同TVD格式对内孤立波模拟结果的影响,利用改进后的SUNTANS三维非静压海洋模型,通过理想算例和南海东北部海域内孤立波的模拟,比较分析了求解温盐方程TVD格式的4种经典通量限制函数(superbee, minmod, van Leer和MUSCL)对计算结果的影响。综合理想算例和南海东北部海域模拟结果,在所讨论的4种通量限制函数中,利用MUSCL限制函数所得模拟结果最优,建议在南海东北部海域内孤立波模拟中采用MUSCL限制函数。
