Due to changes in relative sea level of order 100 m, the contribution of tides and waves to net bed shear stress in shelf
sea regions has varied considerably over the Late Glacial and Holocene. Understanding the spatial and temporal distribution
of this ratio leads to a deeper understanding of the erosion and deposition of sediments over the shelf seas throughout this
time period. Tidal and wave models are here applied to palaeo time slices of the northwest European shelf seas over the last
12,000 years. The model simulations include a series of sensitivity tests to account for the influence of interannual variability
in wind conditions on the resulting bed shear stress. The results show that there has been a significant decrease over the
last 12,000 years in shelf-scale mobilisation of coarse sediment. Since there was a lower magnitude of wave orbital velocity
penetrating to the sea bed as a result of increasing relative sea level, this reduction in sediment mobilisation was primarily
controlled by a shelf-scale decrease in wave-induced bed shear stress over the last 12,000 years. The predictions of mean
and residual bed shear stress for the modelled palaeo time slices are a useful tool with which to inform site-selection and
subsequent interpretation of sediment cores. In addition, the modelled reconstructions of palaeo tidal range over the shelf
seas demonstrates the potential errors associated with assuming a present-day tidal range when correcting palaeo sea-level
proxies from their deposited datum (e.g. palaeo mean high water spring tide) to palaeo mean sea level. 相似文献

In order to simulate the dynamics of fine sediments in short tidal basins, like the Wadden Sea basins, a 1D cross-sectional averaged model is constructed to simulate tidal flow, depth-limited waves, and fine sediment transport. The key for this 1D model lies in the definition of the geometry (width and depth as function of the streamwise coordinate). The geometry is computed by implementing the water level and flow data, from a 2D flow simulation, and the hypsometric curve in the continuity equation. By means of a finite volume method, the shallow-water equations and sediment transport equations are solved. The bed shear stress consists of the sum of shear stresses by waves and flow, in which the waves are computed with a depth-limited growth equation for wave height and wave frequency. A new formulation for erosion of fines from a sandy bed is proposed in the transport equation for fine sediment. It is shown by comparison with 2D simulations and field measurements that a 1D schematization gives a proper representation of the dynamics in short tidal basins. 相似文献

This paper addresses the spatial and temporal patterns of drivers for sediment dynamics in coastal areas. The basic assumption
is that local processes are dominating. The focus is put on the bed shear stress in the southern part of North Sea giving
the basic control for deposition–sedimentation and resuspension–erosion. The wave-induced bed shear stress is formulated using
a model based on the concept that the turbulent kinetic energy associated with surface waves is a function of orbital velocity,
the latter depending on the wave height and period, as well as on the water depth. Parameters of surface waves are taken from
simulations with the wave spectrum model WAM (wave model). Bed shear stress associated with currents is simulated with a 3D
primitive equation model, Hamburg Shelf Ocean Model. Significant wave height, bed shear stress due to waves and currents,
is subjected to empirical orthogonal functions (EOF) analysis. It has been found that the EOF-1 of significant wave height
represents the decrease of significant wave height over the shallows and, due to fetch limitation, along the coastlines. Higher
order modes are seesaw-like and, in combination, display a basin-scale rotational pattern centred approximately in the middle
of the basin. Similar types of variability is also observed in the second and third EOF of bed shear stress. Surface concentrations
of suspended matter derived from MERIS satellite data are analysed and compared against statistical characteristics of bed
shear stress. The results show convincingly that the horizontal distribution of sediment can, to a larger extent, be explained
by the local shear stress. However, availability of resuspendable sediments on the bottom is quite important in some areas
like the Dogger Bank. 相似文献

Here, we address the sediment dynamics in the Black Sea based on analysis of remote sensing data from the Medium Resolution
Imaging Spectrometer and numerical simulations with Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean model. Boundary conditions
consist of realistic meteorological forcing, including significant wave height generated by wave prediction model. A number
of sensitivity runs was analysed with the aim to find the most suitable parameters governing sediment fluxes. The comparison
between numerical simulations and remote sensing data gives credibility to the quality of simulations. The combined effect
of wind waves and currents in the bed layer controls the sediment resuspension that appears to be the major basin-wide source
of sediment. Sensitivity experiments included or excluded different forcing terms, e.g. sediment flux from rivers enable to
determine the spatial extensions of different point sources. It is concluded that wind-wave forcing is manifested in the sediment
dynamics through episodic high energy events contributing to the increase of horizontal sediment fluxes over the northwestern
shelf. Both satellite images and numerical model simulations demonstrated that the penetration of suspended sediment into
the basin interior was governed by the dynamics of coastal and open-ocean eddies. While fine sediment at sea surface could
cross the continental slope propagating into the open ocean, coarser fractions follow the bottom and their penetration into
the open ocean is limited. The conclusion is thus that the deposition patterns correlate with the specific shape of Black
Sea topography, and the largest depositions are observed in the area of continental slope. 相似文献

The morphologic changes in estuaries and coastal lagoons are very complex and constitute a challenging task in coastal research.
The bathymetric changes result from the combined action of tides, waves, rivers discharge and wind stress in the area of interest.
Additionally, an accurate knowledge of the sediment transport is essential to achieve a good morphological characterization.
This work establishes the influence of the wave climate on the morphodynamics of the Ria de Aveiro lagoon inlet by analysing the numerical results of the morphodynamic modelling system MORSYS2D. The numerical simulations
considered a realistic coupled forcing of tidal currents and waves. The computed sediment fluxes and bathymetric changes are
analysed and compared with the erosion and accretion trends obtained from the numerical simulations forced only by tidal currents,
in order to establish the wave climate influence. The final bathymetry and the corresponding changes are compared with bathymetric
data collected through surveys. It is concluded that: (a) the morphodynamics of the study area is dominated by the wave regime
in the lagoon inlet and nearshore areas, while in the inner areas is tidally dominated; and (b) the inclusion of the wave
regime forcing constitutes an improvement in order to accurately reproduce the local morphodynamics. 相似文献

Observations of asymmetry in contrasting wave‐ and tidally‐dominated environments within a mesotidal basin: implications for estuarine morphological evolution 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 Tides are often considered to be the dominant hydrodynamic process within mesotidal estuaries although waves can also have a large influence on intertidal erosion rates. Here, we use a combination of hydrodynamic measurements and sediment deposition records to determine the conditions under which observed waves are ‘morphologically significant’, in which case they influence tidal and suspended sediment flux asymmetry and subsequently infilling over geomorphological timescales. Morphological significant conditions were evaluated using data from contrasting arms in a dendritic mesotidal estuary, in which the orientation of the arms relative to the prevailing wind results in a marked difference in wave conditions, deposition rates and morphology. By defining the morphological significance of waves as a product of the magnitude of bed shear stress and frequency of occurrence, even small (but frequently occurring) winds are shown to be capable of generating waves that are morphologically significant given sufficient fetch. In the arm in which fetch length is restricted, only stronger but rare storm events can influence sediment flux and therefore tides are more morphologically significant over longer timescales. Water depth within this mesotidal estuary is shown to be a critical parameter in controlling morphological significance; the rapid attenuation of short period waves with depth results in contrasting patterns of erosion occurring during neaps and accretion during springs.

Numerical study on wave dynamics and wave-induced bed erosion characteristics in Potter Cove, Antarctica 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Wave generation, propagation, and transformation from deep ocean over complex bathymetric terrains to coastal waters around Potter Cove (King George Island, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica) have been simulated for an austral summer month using the Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN) wave model. This study aims to examine and understand the wave patterns, energy fluxes, and dissipations in Potter Cove. Bed shear stress due to waves is also calculated to provide a general insight on the bed sediment erosion characteristics in Potter Cove.A nesting approach has been implemented from an oceanic scale to a high-resolution coastal scale around Potter Cove. The results of the simulations were compared with buoy observations obtained from the National Data Buoy Center, the WAVEWATCH III model results, and GlobWave altimeter data. The quality of the modelling results has been assessed using two statistical parameters, namely the Willmott’s index of agreement D and the bias index. Under various wave conditions, the significant wave heights at the inner cove were found to be about 40–50 % smaller than the ones near the mouth of Potter Cove. The wave power in Potter Cove is generally low. The spatial distributions of the wave-induced bed shear stress and active energy dissipation were found to be following the pattern of the bathymetry, and waves were identified as a potential major driving force for bed sediment erosion in Potter Cove, especially in shallow water regions. This study also gives some results on global ocean applications of SWAN. 相似文献

An established numerical tidal model has been used to investigate the impact of various sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios, as well as SLR in combination with large-scale tidal power plants on European shelf tidal dynamics. Even moderate and realistic levels of future SLR are shown to have significant impacts on the tidal dynamics of the area. These changes are further enhanced when SLR and tidal power plants are considered in combination, resulting in changes to tidal amplitudes, currents and associated tidal dissipation and bed shear stresses. Sea-level rise is the dominant influence on any far-field impacts, whereas tidal power plants are shown to have the prevailing influence over any changes close to the point of energy extraction. The spatial extent of the impacts of energy extraction is shown to be affected by the sea level when more than one tidal power plant in the Irish Sea was considered. Different ways to implement SLR in the model are also discussed and shown to be of great significance for the response of the tides. 相似文献

Modeling the impact of wind and waves on suspended particulate matter fluxes in the East Frisian Wadden Sea (southern North Sea) 总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2
Suspended particulate matter (SPM) fluxes and dynamics are investigated in the East Frisian Wadden Sea using a coupled modeling
system based on a hydrodynamical model [the General Estuarine Transport Model (GETM)], a third-generation wave model [Simulating
Waves Nearshore (SWAN)], and a SPM module attached to GETM. Sedimentological observations document that, over longer time
periods, finer sediment fractions disappear from the Wadden Sea Region. In order to understand this phenomenon, a series of
numerical scenarios were formulated to discriminate possible influences such as tidal currents, wind-enhanced currents, and
wind-generated surface waves. Starting with a simple tidal forcing, the considered scenarios are designed to increase the
realism step by step to include moderate and strong winds and waves and, finally, to encompass the full effects of one of
the strongest storm surges affecting the region in the last hundred years (Storm Britta in November 2006). The results presented here indicate that moderate weather conditions with wind speeds up to 7.5 m/s and
small waves lead to a net import of SPM into the East Frisian Wadden Sea. Waves play only a negligible role during these conditions.
However, for stronger wind conditions with speeds above 13 m/s, wind-generated surface waves have a significant impact on
SPM dynamics. Under storm conditions, the numerical results demonstrate that sediments are eroded in front of the barrier
islands by enhanced wave action and are transported into the back-barrier basins by the currents. Furthermore, sediment erosion
due to waves is significantly enhanced on the tidal flats. Finally, fine sediments are flushed out of the tidal basins due
to the combined effect of strong erosion by wind-generated waves and a longer residence time in the water column because of
their smaller settling velocities compared to coarser sediments.

The Adriatic Sea general circulation model coupled to a third generation wave model SWAN and a sediment transport model was implemented in the Adriatic Sea to study the dynamics of the sediment transport and resuspension in the northern Adriatic Sea (NAS) during the Bora event in January 2001. The bottom boundary layer (BBL) was resolved by the coupled model with high vertical resolution, and the mechanism of the wave–current interaction in the BBL was also represented in the model. The study found that, during the Bora event of 13–17 January 2001, large waves with significant wave height 2 m and period of 5 s were generated by strong winds in the northwestern shelf of the Adriatic where the direction of wave propagation was orthogonal to the current. The combined motion of the wave and current in the BBL increased the bottom stress over the western Adriatic shelf, resulting in stronger sediment resuspension there. Combining stronger bottom resuspension and strong upward vertical flux of resuspended sediments due to turbulent mixing, the model predicted that sediment concentration near the Po River was much higher than that predicted by the model run without wave forcing. The study also shows that wave–current interaction in the BBL reduced the western Adriatic Coastal Currents (WACCs) in the shallower north. It is concluded that wave forcing significantly changed the sediment distributions and increased the total horizontal fluxes over the western shelf. These results signified wave effect on sediment flux and distribution in the NAS, and suggested that waves cannot be neglected in the study of dynamics of sediment transport and resuspension in the shallow coastal seas. By including the tidal forcing in the coupled model, we also examined the effect of tides on the sediment transport dynamics in the NAS. 相似文献

A three-dimensional finite volume unstructured mesh model of the west coast of Britain, with high resolution in the coastal regions, is used to investigate the role of wind wave turbulence and wind and tide forced currents in producing maximum bed stress in the eastern Irish Sea. The spatial distribution of the maximum bed stress, which is important in sediment transport problems, is determined, together with how it is modified by the direction of wind forced currents, tide–surge interaction and a surface source of wind wave turbulence associated with wave breaking. Initial calculations show that to first order the distribution of maximum bed stress is determined by the tide. However, since maximum sediment transport occurs at times of episodic events, such as storm surges, their effects upon maximum bed stresses are examined for the case of strong northerly, southerly and westerly wind forcing. Calculations show that due to tide–surge interaction both the tidal distribution and the surge are modified by non-linear effects. Consequently, the magnitude and spatial distribution of maximum bed stress during major wind events depends upon wind direction. In addition calculations show that a surface source of turbulence due to wind wave breaking in shallow water can influence the maximum bed stress. In turn, this influences the wind forced flow and hence the movement of suspended sediment. Calculations of the spatial variability of maximum bed stress indicate the level of measurements required for model validation. 相似文献

Large-scale redistribution of sand by hydrodynamical processes in shelf seas is important for basin and coastal evolution on time scales of a thousand to tens of thousands of years. The influence of tides on the large-scale net sand-transport patterns in the North Sea has received much attention, but the influence of wind-driven flow and wind waves has hardly been investigated. Here, to establish the present-day situation and to develop a method that can also be used for palaeo-situations and forecasts for different sea levels, this influence is assessed for the present southern North Sea using a numerical flow model, a parametric wave model and a wave-averaged sand-transport formulation. Various forcing combinations are used to identify the dominant transport mechanisms: tides only, tides and wind, tides and waves, and combined tides, wind and waves. Wind forcing is applied in two ways to find an efficient, but still representative, method of incorporating this stochastic process: a statistical wind climatology and an observed time series. The results show that (i) the wind climatology yields a good approximation of the sand transport computed using the time series; (ii) wind-driven flow and waves only contribute significantly to the net sand transport by tides when acting together where tidal currents are small; and (iii) various combinations of forcings dominate the net sand transport in different regions of the southern North Sea: (a) tides dominate in the southern, middle and northwestern parts of the Southern Bight and in the region of The Wash; (b) tides, wind-driven flow and waves all are important in the northeastern part of the Southern Bight; and (c) wind-driven flow and waves dominate north of the Friesian Islands, in the German Bight and on the Dogger Bank. Qualitative comparison with observations shows good agreement. 相似文献

The linear theory predicts that Rossby waves are the large scale mechanism of adjustment to perturbations of the geophysical fluid. Satellite measurements of sea level anomaly (SLA) provided sturdy evidence of the existence of these waves. Recent studies suggest that the variability in the altimeter records is mostly due to mesoscale nonlinear eddies and challenges the original interpretation of westward propagating features as Rossby waves. The objective of this work is to test whether a classic linear dynamic model is a reasonable explanation for the observed SLA. A linear-reduced gravity non-dispersive Rossby wave model is used to estimate the SLA forced by direct and remote wind stress. Correlations between model results and observations are up to 0.88. The best agreement is in the tropical region of all ocean basins. These correlations decrease towards insignificance in mid-latitudes. The relative contributions of eastern boundary (remote) forcing and local wind forcing in the generation of Rossby waves are also estimated and suggest that the main wave forming mechanism is the remote forcing. Results suggest that linear long baroclinic Rossby wave dynamics explain a significant part of the SLA annual variability at least in the tropical oceans. 相似文献

Knowledge of upper ocean currents is needed for trajectory forecasts and is essential for search and rescue operations and oil spill mitigation. This paper addresses effects of surface waves on ocean currents and drifter trajectories using in situ observations. The data set includes colocated measurements of directional wave spectra from a wave rider buoy, ocean currents measured by acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs), as well as data from two types of tracking buoys that sample the currents at two different depths. The ADCP measures the Eulerian current at one point, as modelled by an ocean general circulation model, while the tracking buoys are advected by the Lagrangian current that includes the wave-induced Stokes drift. Based on our observations, we assess the importance of two different wave effects: (a) forcing of the ocean current by wave-induced surface fluxes and the Coriolis–Stokes force, and (b) advection of surface drifters by wave motion, that is the Stokes drift. Recent theoretical developments provide a framework for including these wave effects in ocean model systems. The order of magnitude of the Stokes drift is the same as the Eulerian current judging from the available data. The wave-induced momentum and turbulent kinetic energy fluxes are estimated and shown to be significant. Similarly, the wave-induced Coriolis–Stokes force is significant over time scales related to the inertial period. Surface drifter trajectories were analysed and could be reproduced using the observations of currents, waves and wind. Waves were found to have a significant contribution to the trajectories, and we conclude that adding wave effects in ocean model systems is likely to increase predictability of surface drifter trajectories. The relative importance of the Stokes drift was twice as large as the direct wind drag for the used surface drifter.

This study uses a series of scenarios of wave (boundary) and wind (local) forcing to examine the sensitivity and to quantify
the effects associated with nesting ProWAM and POLCOMS models for downscaling predictions of waves in the Irish Sea. The model
results show that the response of the modelling system to the wave and wind forcing during the downscaling varies widely depending
on wind conditions. Generally, the wave forcing has a greater effect on overall wave prediction in most of the Irish Sea,
except for the eastern Irish Sea/Liverpool Bay. The study also suggests detailed look-up tables at specific locations to quantify
the impacts of the different forcing scenarios over the Irish Sea, which can be readily extended to the location on any other
sites. 相似文献

This paper presents a method to investigate the relative influence of waves, wind-induced currents and tidal currents on sediment mobility in coastal environment. It is based on the assumption that, knowing high uncertainties linked to sediment dynamics studies, simple sediment mobility indicators are sufficient tools to provide useful information. This method is based on five main steps: (1) assessing hydrodynamic conditions and related errors spatially and temporally for an area; (2) evaluating the bottom shear stress induced by these hydrodynamic conditions; (3) providing simple sediment mobility indicators; (4) analysing the sensitivity of these indicators to the existing hydrodynamic uncertainties; (5) interpreting indicators knowing their limits (identified in the sensitivity analysis). This methodology is applied to a test site on the inner shelf, seaward of the Pertuis Charentais region in France. Using wave (SWAN) and sea-level and currents (MARS-2DH) modelling, we study the spatial distribution of the relative contribution of waves, tides and wind-induced current in the non-cohesive sediment mobility under storm conditions. The deduced sediment dynamics indicators reveal the dominant action of waves in sediment initiation in the offshore area, in water depths of up to 60 m. The sensitivity study, performed in order to evaluate the validity of results, shows that the sediment mobility indicators still provide relevant information, even for hydrodynamic uncertainties of ±20% or furthermore when only a qualitative sedimentological knowledge of the area is available. 相似文献

This study evaluates the patterns and effects of relative sea-level rise on the tidal circulation of the basin of the Ria Formosa coastal lagoon using a process-based model that is solved on an unstructured mesh. To predict the changes in the lagoon tidal circulation in the year 2100, the model is forced by tides and a static sea level. The bathymetry and the basin geometry are updated in response to sea-level rise for three morphological response scenarios: no bed updating, barrier island rollover, and basin infilling. Model results indicate that sea-level rise (SLR) will change the baseline current velocity patterns inside the lagoon over the ~100-year study period, due to a strong reduction in the area of the intertidal basin. The basin infilling scenario is associated with the most important adjustments of the tidal circulation (i.e., increases in the flood velocities and delays in the ebb tide), together with an increase in the cumulative discharges of the tidal inlets. Under sea-level rise and in the basin infilling scenario, the salt marshes and tidal flats experience increases in the tidal range and current asymmetry. Basin infilling changes the sediment flushing capacity of the lagoon, leading to the attenuation of the flood dominance in the main inlet and the strengthening of the flood dominance in the two secondary inlets. The predictions resulting from these scenarios provide very useful information on the long-term evolution of similar coastal lagoons that experience varying degrees of SLR. This study highlights the need for research focusing on the quantification of the physical and socio-economic impacts of SLR on lagoon systems, thus enabling the development of effective adaptation strategies. 相似文献
