An Eta-Coordinate Version of the Princeton Ocean Model 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The Princeton Ocean Model (POM) is widely used in both the research and real-time marine forecast communities. However, there
is a single heavily criticized feature and shortcoming of POM, i.e., the pressure gradient (PG) error associated with sloping
topography. To overcome this problem, in this paper we present an eta-coordinate POM (ECPOM). The eta-coordinate system was
originally adopted in atmospheric numerical models and has proved to be effective in removing the large errors associated
with the horizontal pressure gradient force and advection and diffusion terms along a steeply sloping topography. A familiar
idealized seamount problem is used to test the PG error in the ECPOM in order to isolate errors from other sources, as is
done in the literature. The model is set up so that, ideally, the ocean should be at rest forever; any development of circulation
is regarded as numerically artificial. Results show that in ECPOM, errors are dramatically reduced by two orders of magnitude
over a wide range of parameters. As a trade-off, the bottom boundary of the ECPOM is a stepwise instead of a continuous one,
as in the sigma-coordinate POM (SCPOM). Modification of the SCPOM to the ECPOM is straightforward and minimal. Compared to
the z-coordinate model, the ECPOM is numerically simpler since the eta-coordinate has a surface-following character.

Observations from a five-mooring array deployed in the vicinity of Sedlo Seamount over a 4-month period, together with supporting hydrographic and underway ADCP measurements, are described. Sedlo Seamount is an elongated, intermediate depth seamount with three separate peaks, rising from 2200 m water depth to summit peaks between 950 and 780 m depth, located at 40°20′N, 26°40W. Currents measured in depth range 750 and 820 m – the layer close to the summit depth of the shallowest southeast peak – showed a mean anti-cyclonic flow around the seamount, with residual current velocities of 2–5 cm s−1. Significant mesoscale variability was present at this level, and this is attributed to the weak and variable background impinging flow. Stronger, more persistent currents were found at the summit mooring as a result of tidal rectification and some weak amplification. Below 1300 m, currents were extremely weak, even close to the seabed. Time series of relative vorticity for the depth layer 750–820 m showed persistent anti-cyclonic vorticity except for two periods of cyclonic vorticity. A mean relative vorticity of −0.06f (f=the local Coriolis frequency) was calculated from a triangle of current meters located at the flanks of the seamount. Modelling results confirmed that anti-cyclonic flow above the seamount was likely due to Taylor Cone generation driven by a combination of steady impinging and tidally rectified flow. The closed circulation pattern over the seamount was found to extend to ∼150 m above the summit level, consistent with simple idealised theory and the supporting hydrographic observations. At shallower depths (<500 m) model simulations predicted a predominantly cyclonic recirculation most likely controlled by topographic steering along the zonal axis of the seamount. There was some indication of flow reversal at these depths from Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measurements carried out at one hydrographic survey. The model results were in good agreement with observations at the seamount summit, but were unable to reproduce the mesoscale variability patterns recorded in shallower layers. Kinetic energy patterns derived from the model revealed high variability in the oceanic far field downstream of the seamount summit probably as a result of complex flow interaction along the chain of seamount peaks. Possible impacts of the flow dynamics on the biological functioning at Sedlo Seamount and its surroundings are discussed. 相似文献

The paper discusses a new method to put forward to determine the initial pore pressure by extrapolating the last segment of measured pore pressure versus the inverse square root of time scale through incomplete pore pressure dissipation test. For underconsolidated soil, the estimated initial pore pressure is greater than the hydrostatic pore pressure. With the calculation of the initial pore pressure, the status of the consolidation of underconsolidated soil can be evaluated by calculating the apparent degree of consolidation which is defined as excess pore pressure generated by piezocone penetration divided by the difference between the total pore pressure measured by piezocone and in situ hydrostatic pore pressure. The apparent degree of consolidation is less than one as the soil is underconsolidated. The Northern Expressway Connection project of Chongqi Bridge is introduced as an example of practical application. In this case, the studied area is slightly underconsolidated, which is consistent with the results of the laboratory oedometer tests. Finally, compared with overconsolidation ratio (OCR) values from the oedometer tests, a new formula to estimate the OCR of underconsolidated soil using the apparent degree of consolidation was presented. It indicates that the OCR of underconsolidated soil can be proposed directly from partial piezocone dissipation tests. 相似文献

海山可以通过与洋流的相互作用改变水体结构,促进悬浮体以及海洋生物的再分配,进而影响海洋生物地球化学过程,促进大洋物质和能量交换。西太平洋有着复杂的环流结构,也是海山分布最多的海区之一。为研究西太平洋海山区的悬浮体分布及其控制机制,2017年夏季在西太平洋卡罗琳M4海山区进行现场调查,利用扫描电镜分析了该海山区悬浮体样品的物质组成及分布,并结合温度、盐度和荧光叶绿素a浓度数据,讨论了海山对悬浮体分布的影响。结果表明,M4海山区的悬浮体由生物碎屑、矿物颗粒和絮凝体等组成。海水的强烈层化阻碍了该海山区下层营养物质的上涌,使上层水体呈现出寡营养的特征,导致大部分站位悬浮体丰度较低;但在海山顶部,潮流和海山地形相互作用在山顶上方形成反气旋环流,不仅促进了深水的营养物质向上扩散,使得荧光叶绿素a浓度升高,同时对平流输送来的以及从深水中上涌的悬浮体起到了滞留作用,使山顶上方的悬浮体丰度远高于离山顶较远的位置。随着水深的增大,温、盐跃层的强度减弱,水体中的营养盐浓度升高,为浮游生物的生长提供了适宜的环境,进而使生物碎屑及絮凝体的丰度升高。北赤道潜流挟带来自西太平洋近岸海区的陆源矿物颗粒到达M4海山区,... 相似文献

2014年冬季对西太平洋雅浦Y3海山区和从西太平洋暖池区到黑潮源区之间的大洋海域的浮游动物进行了调查研究，分析了海山区和大洋海域大型浮游动物群落的物种组成、丰度和分布，并比较了两个海域大型浮游动物群落的差异，结合温度、盐度和叶绿素a浓度等环境因子数据，分析了海山对大型浮游动物群落的影响。结果表明，Y3海山区和大洋海域的大型浮游动物群落物种组成存在差异，二者的群落相似度系数为68.4%，两个海域的优势种/类群也不尽相同，海山区的优势种/类群是磷虾各期幼体、尖额磷虾和蛮𧊕，而大洋海域的优势种/类群分别是磷虾后期幼体、手磷虾、蛮𧊕、尖额磷虾和莹虾。大型浮游动物群落在海山区的平均丰度和最大丰度都要高于大洋海域，但海山区的生物多样性指数、均匀度指数和生物量占比都低于大洋海域，因而Y3海山对大型浮游动物群落的海山效应不明显。通过相关性分析和主成分分析结果可以看出，海山区的首要影响环境因子是盐度，而大洋海域则是温度；海山区和大洋海域的大型浮游动物丰度分别与200m层盐度和平均温度呈负相关关系，并且在两个调查海域均未发现大型浮游动物的丰度和生物量分布与叶绿素a浓度之间存在显著的相关关系。 相似文献

By using the relationships between the measurement error of hydrostatic CTD sea-level meters, the errors of measuring channels of hydrostatic pressure, temperature, and conductivity, and the errors
of determination of the gravitational acceleration, we estimate the admissible measurement errors for separate channels. Simplified
relations for the evaluation of salinity and density of water corresponding to the class of accuracy of the level meter are
presented. Possible differences between the readings of the level meters mounted at coastal level-measuring posts and the
actual sea level in the coastal zone caused by the weak water exchange in the sea-well system are estimated.

A spatial fixed σ-coordinate is used to transform the Navier–Stokes equations from the sea bed to the still water level. In the fixed σ-coordinate system only a very small number of vertical grid points are required for the numerical model. The time step for using the spatial fixed σ-coordinate is efficiently larger than that of using a time dependent σ-coordinate, as there is substantial truncation error involved in the time dependent σ-coordinate transformation. There is no need to carry out the σ-coordinate transformation at each time step, which can reduce computational times. It is important that wave breaking can be potentially modeled in the fixed σ-coordinate system, but in a time-dependent σ-coordinate system the wave breaking cannot be modeled. A projection method is used to separate advection and diffusion terms from the pressure terms in Navier–Stokes equations. The pressure variable is further separated into hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressures so that the computer rounding errors can be largely avoided. In order to reduce computational time of solving the hydrodynamic pressure equation, at every time step the initial pressure is extrapolated in time domain using computed pressures from previous time steps, and then corrected in spatial domain using a multigrid method. For each time step, only a few of iterations (typically six iterations) are required for solving the pressure equation. The model is tested against available experimental data for regular and irregular waves and good agreement between calculation results and the measured data has been achieved. 相似文献

Analysis of measurements from two long-term moored arrays in and near the Gulf Stream suggests a simple parameterization of eddy spatial covariance statistics: a parameterization that can be referred to as “quasi-homogeneous and isotropic”. Taking the normalized covariance function (i.e. the correlation function) for streamfunction to be homogeneous and isotropic and assuming motions to be horizontally nondivergent and hydrostatic permit the velocity and temperature covariances to be derived from the streamfunction covariance. Statistical tests indicate that deviations from these assumptions are indistinguishable from Gaussian random noise. The spatial correlation function used in Gaussian with a decay scale of about 140 km, which is only weakly depth dependent. A simple form is also suggested for the vertical lag dependence. This parameterization permits calculation of derived quantities such as the eddy vorticity flux divergence which is discussed in the context of the mean potential vorticity balances for the depth integrated circulation and for the subthermocline layer. The divergence of the relative vorticity flux is found capable of driving two counter-rotating gyres of strength 30–40 Sv on either side of the Stream, as are observed. The “thickness flux” dominates the lower layer eddy potential vorticity flux and is of the correct sign to make the recirculation more barotropic. The lower layer eddy forcing is weak and the gyres exist in a region of nearly uniform mean potential vorticity. 相似文献

East-west vertical sections centered on Kinmei Seamount (35N, 172E) of potential temperature, salinity, and oxygen, based on recent standard hydrographic measurements, and vertical profiles ofin situ temperature and density (
4) east of the seamount, based on STD data, show contrasting variability in the deep water characteristics east and west of the seamount. These data are consistent with horizontal variations in water mass properties (temperature-salinity and temperature-oxygen curves) east of the seamount between 2,600–3,900 m but not west of the seamount. East of the seamount on surfaces of constant potential temperature (or density) salinity and oxygen are higher at a station 200 km from the seamount than at stations on either side. From these relations and from known deep water properties of the North Pacific, it is suggested that east of the seamount, between 2,600–3,900 m, the observations are consistent with northward flow, which is interpreted to be a western boundary current with an east-west scale of about 300 km. 相似文献

The western boundary layer (WBL) plays a fundamental role in basin-scale wind-driven ocean circulations. In idealized ocean models with flat bottom topography, this layer is required not only to balance the interior Sverdrup transport to close the gyre circulation, but also to dissipate the vorticity imposed by the wind-stress curl. The width of the WBL in Munk-type models is estimated to be δM(AH/β)1/3, where AH and β are horizontal eddy viscosity and the meridional derivative of the Coriolis parameter respectively. For commonly used values of AH, the boundary-layer width δM ranges from 30 to less than 200 km in the mid-latitude ocean. This scale is often poorly resolved in large-scale climate models.This paper intends to demonstrate some consequences when the western boundary layer is not adequately resolved. It is found that coarse resolution models reach equilibrium states by distorting some important dynamics in order to dissipate wind-imposed vorticity. In three-dimensional models, for instance, very strong spurious upwelling and downwelling can occur along the WBL. In models of two-dimensional flow, however, spurious recirculations may develop near the boundary. These false features can be removed when the boundary layer is better resolved. We propose a method in which a spatially varying AH is used to broaden the WBL without affecting mixing in the interior. The method improves the model results considerably. 相似文献

For the Black-Sea region, we perform the dynamic reanalysis of the data on atmospheric circulation for the period 1958–2001
by using the HadRM3P model with a space resolution of 25 km. We estimate the mean climatic atmospheric fields of vorticity and divergence of the
wind velocity and study their space structure and seasonal variability. The climatic estimates of the annual course of vorticity
of the wind velocity over the sea are presented. The obtained large annual average values of vorticity of the velocity reveal
the predominant role played by the wind action in the generation not only of the seasonal variability but also of the mean
cyclonic circulation of waters in the Black Sea. 相似文献

A methodology for the correction of systematic errors in a simplified atmospheric general‐circulation model is proposed. First, a method for estimating initial tendency model errors is developed, based on a 4‐dimensional variational assimilation of a long‐analysed dataset of observations in a simple quasi‐geostrophic baroclinic model. Then, a time variable potential vorticity source term is added as a forcing to the same model, in order to parameterize subgrid‐scale processes and unrepresented physical phenomena. This forcing term consists in a (large‐scale) flow dependent parametrization of the initial tendency model error computed by the variational assimilation. The flow dependency is given by an analogues technique which relies on the analysis dataset. Such empirical driving causes a substantial improvement of the model climatology, reducing its systematic error and improving its high frequency variability. Low‐frequency variability is also more realistic and the model shows a better reproduction of Euro‐Atlantic weather regimes. A link between the large‐scale flow and the model error is found only in the Euro‐Atlantic sector, other mechanisms being probably the origin of model error in other areas of the globe. 相似文献

An experimental study was undertaken to reveal the influence of the hydrostatic pressure on the early developmental stages
of Laminaria saccharina, including the motile zoospores, the embryospores, and sprouting spores. The pressure did not affect the moving patterns
and sinking rate of the zoospores. The sprouting spores were the most vulnerable among the other types; i.e., a pressure of
3 standard atmospheres (the hydrostatic pressure at the depth of 30 m) delayed or disturbed their development. The light conditions
did not limit the vertical distribution of L. saccharina to greater depths. We assume that the hydrostatic pressure may significantly impact the vertical distribution of benthic
macrophytes in the sublittoral zone. 相似文献

Several major inverse methods (Stommel-Schott method, Wunsch method, and Bernoulli method) have been successfully developed
to quantitatively estimate the geostrophic velocity at the reference level from hydrographic data. No matter the different
appeance, they are based on the same dynamical sophistication: geostrophy, hydrostatic, and potential density (ϱ) conservation
(Davis, 1978). The current inverse methods are all based on two conservation principles: potential density and potential vorticity
(q=f∂ϱ/∂z) and require β-turning. Thus, two necessary conditions can be incorporated into any inverse methods: (1) non-coincidence
of potential density and potential vorticity surfaces and (2) existence of vertical turning of the velocity (β-turning). This
can be done using the P-Vector, a unit vector in the direction of ▽ϱ×▽q (Chu, 1994, 1995). The first necessary condition becomes the existence of the P-vector, and the second necessary condition
leads to the existence of the P-vector turning in the water column. Along this line, we developed the P-vector inverse emthod
with a pre-requirement check-up. The method was verified in this study using the Modular Ocean Model (MOM) from Pacanowskiet al. (1991) version of Bryan-Cox-Semtner ocean general circulation model (OGCM), which is based on the work of Bryan (1969). The
statistically steady solutions of temperature and salinity from MOM are used as a “no-error data” set for computing absolute
geostrophic velocities by the P-vector inverse method. Circulations are similar between the MOM statistically steady solutions
and the P-vector solutions. Furthermore, the quantitative analysis shows that this inverse method has capability of picking
up the major signal of the velocity field. 相似文献

Assemblage structures and distribution patterns of larval fishes and paralarval cephalopods were examined in September 1998 at Great Meteor Seamount, an isolated seamount located in the subtropical eastern North Atlantic. Early life stages of fish (n=18555) and cephalopods (n=1200) were collected at 23 stations with a multiple opening–closing net, in seven discrete depth strata from 290 m depth (close to the seamount plateau) to the surface. Oceanic species dominated in both taxonomic groups. A peak in diversity was observed at an intermediate depth, in the 100–150 m water layer. Direct and indirect gradient analyses showed distinct species assemblages in the upper and lower part of the water column, separated by approximately 150 m. The division was statistically significant, although a considerable overlap between species was also observed. Above the summit, vertical gaps were found in the distributions of the deeper assemblages, likely caused by increased predation pressure by benthopelagic fish. Horizontal distribution patterns of fish and cephalopods were similar and corresponded to the structure of closed circulation cells detected above the flanks and the flat plateau area. Fish assemblages were significantly different between the inner and outer seamount regime, which was approximately separated by the 1500 m depth contour. Differences in the taxonomic composition of cephalopods were less pronounced; for only one cephalopod species could a direct association with the seamount be assumed. The study indicates a significant retention potential at the seamount that facilitates local recruitment of resident stocks and generates self-sustainable populations isolated from the continental shelf and oceanic islands. 相似文献

The structure of the tidal residual current due to vertical viscosity is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. It is found that the interaction between the vertical component of the oscillatory current and vorticity,wT

In the hydraulic experiment, the residual constituent is larger than the theoretical prediction and a phase difference in the oscillatory constituent between the upper and lower layer is observed. The amplitude difference is caused by the strong nonlinear effect of the residual constituent and the phase difference is caused by the interaction between the residual current and the basic oscillatory current. The principal generating force of the residual constituent outside the boundary layer,wT

To find variations in the dynamics of the surface M 2 tide in the White Sea induced by the spatially inhomogeneity of the resistance coefficient, we use a modified version of the QUODDY-4 three-dimensional finite-element hydrostatic model. This version differs from the original version in that it has a module introduced to calculate the resistance coefficient in the bottom boundary layer (BBL). The resistance coefficient is found from resistance laws for an oscillating rotating turbulent BBL over hydrodynamically rough and partially rough (smoothly rough) underlying surfaces describing the dependence of the resistance coefficient and other integral characteristics of resistance on dimensionless similarity parameters: the sea-bottom Rossby number Ro, the streaming Reynolds number Re, and the relative (normalized to tidal frequency) inertial frequency f/σ. The use of spatial inhomogeneity of the resistance coefficient was shown not to lead to considerable changes in tidal characteristics. The values of these characteristics are several times larger than the instrumental measurement errors for the level and velocity but less than the errors in their calculation. 相似文献

A numerical model of the sea’s thermohydrodynamics with a finite-difference approximation of the equations of the nonhydrostatic
dynamics on a grid with a triangular form of the horizontal section of its element is formulated. The slope of the lower side
of the grid’s bottom cell is determined by the given linear profile of the bottom relief. Within the shallow-water approach,
the dispersion relations of the B and C grids and the developed discrete model are compared; the results of tests for different approximations of the bottom relief
for a rectangular basin are given and analyzed. The developed model of the thermohaline dynamics is used for studying the
influence of the nonhydrostatic effects on the circulation of the Baltic Sea and a part of Vistula Bay. The comparison of
the simulation results obtained according to the version with the full equation of the vertical momentum and to that using
the hydrostatic approach shows the influence of the effects of the nonhydrostatic dynamics on the structure of the simulated
fields even with small horizontal resolution (the step of the grid is 3.5 km). This is manifested in the strengthening of
the field of the vorticity and the increasing of the sea level gradients and the velocities of the horizontal currents, whose
growth reaches 1.5 cm/s. 相似文献

The nonhydrostatic boundary problem for an arbitrary three-dimensional domain with a seamount is considered. The problem is integrated into curvilinear boundary-fitted coordinates on a nonuniform grid. In order to identify nonhydrostatic effects the grid is condensed on the slopes of the seamount preserving a coarse resolution in the rest of the domain, where the problem is solved in the hydrostatic approximation. Calculation results for the nonhydrostatic tidal dynamics and hydrology of the Strait of Messina in the area of a seamount are presented. 相似文献
