Instability of Two Interacting Quasi-Monochromatic Waves in Shallow Water

The nonlinear interactions of waves with a double-peaked power spectrum have been studied in shallow water.The starting point is the prototypical equation for nonlinear unidirectional waves in shallow water,i.e.the Korteweg de Vries equation.By means of a multiple-scale technique two defocusing coupled Nonlinear Schrdinger equations are derived.It is found analytically that plane wave solutions of such a system are unstable for small perturbations,showing that the existence of a new energy exchange mechanism which can influence the behavior of ocean waves in shallow water.     

浮冰遥感全球导航卫星系统反射信号的势

全球导航卫星系统（GNSS）的地面反射信号已成为人们关注的遥感方法。对浮冰,大穿透能力和大规模表面覆盖的L波段信号能打开类似累积速率的积雪特征的新局面。文章在理论上研究了来自浮冰的全球定位系统（GPS）信号的反射,导出反射信号模型。结果表明,信号尽管复杂,但对雪面（和交界面）粗糙度和类似累积速率的永久积雪参数有意义。对来自复杂信号的极具价值的信息,导出卫星持续接收期间聚焦在地面区域的过程。从测量原则上应该能分别推导表面和积雪参数。
