The generation of internal tidal wave fields by barotropic tidal flow past a representative seamount is computed by modelling the seamount as a pillbox, and linearising the equations for internal wave dynamics. This is justifiable for mid-ocean seamounts, which constitute steep topography for internal waves of tidal frequency. For linearly polarised barotropic tidal flow, the resulting flow field consists of conical beams radiating from the region above the seamount, with largest velocities aligned with the barotropic flow. These beams vary with azimuthal angle but resemble the corresponding beams from two-dimensional steep topography, particularly in the barotropic flow direction. They are primarily forced by the barotropic flow over the seamount, which is amplified by the topography and is independent of the stratification if the radius of the seamount is sufficiently large. In a barotropic tidal flow of 1 cm/s amplitude, energy fluxes from individual seamounts are of order 106 W. Summing this over all seamounts higher than 1 km gives baroclinic energy generation of order 5.109 W, a number that is less than estimates of baroclinic energy flux from the continental slopes and the Hawaiian ridge, but is comparable with them. 相似文献

The generation of internal waves by the barotropic tide in a two-layer ocean of variable depth is studied within the framework of the linear theory of long waves in view of the Coriolis force. A barotropic wave climbs at an arbitrary angle to the axis of the extensive ridge with constantly varying profile. The relationships between the amplitudes of the generated internal waves, the location of the ridge, and the angle of climb of the barotropic tide are studied. The analogous research is given in refs 1 and 2.Translated by Mikhail M. Trufanov. UDK 532.59. 相似文献

This paper addresses the problem of the generation of internal waves by a barotropic tide propagating in a uniformly stratified sea across the frontal zone overlying a submerged ridge or a continental slope. Using Riemann's technique, we have performed computations and analysed the wave fields' spatial characteristics and have defined the dependences of the generated wave amplitudes, bottom topography parameters, and density field. It is shown that the presence of a horizontally-inhomogeneous density region over a subwater feature may lead to substantial alteration of the maximum amplitudinal values of internal waves, both inside and around the frontal zone.Translated by Vladimir A.

Within the framework of the linear theory of long waves taking into account the action of the Coriolis force, we solve the
problem of generation of internal waves by a barotropic tide impinging on a bottom irregularity of the sea-ridge type. The
cross section of the ridge is assumed to be rectangular and the stratification of the ocean is regarded as stepwise with two
thermoclines (three-layer model). We study the dependences of the characteristics of generated waves on the parameters of
stratification and the period of the impinging barotropic tide.

The horizontal wave velocity field generated by a barotropic tide impinging upon a subwater ridge is considered in the linear theory assumptions for long waves. The ocean is assumed to be twolayered, with the tidal wave on-running at an arbitrary angle to the ridge axis. The dependence of the horizontal velocity amplitudes on stratification, the angle of barotropic tide impinging, and the bottom feature geometry is studied.Translated by V. Puchkin. 相似文献

Within the framework of the linear theory of long waves, we study internal waves generated by a barotropic tide in a two-layer
ocean of variable depth taking into account the influence of the Coriolis force. Barotropic waves run over an extended unevenness
of the bottom at an arbitrary angle. This unevenness is regarded as a model of the continental slope and shelf. We establish
the dependences of the amplitudes of generated internal waves on the angle of incidence of the barotropic tide, topography
of the bottom, and stratification.

In the framework of the linear theory for the long waves occurring in a fluid with a density gradient, the paper concentrates
on the field of wave disturbances generated by a barotropic tide in the vicinity of the Mid-Atlantic ridge. Dependences of
the wave amplitudes and velocities on the stratification parameters, the angle of onrunning and the period of the barotropic
tide have been obtained. A similar study for a model ridge relief of paraboloidal shape has been conducted in ref. 1.

In the frame of the linear theory for long waves, the paper studies long waves generated by a barotropic tide running at an
arbitrary angle over a bottom ridge. The ocean is assumed to be two-layered. In the area of a ridge with a rectangular cross
section, geostrophic flows are considered, coupled with the inclinations of the free surface and interface. Wave amplitudes
are shown to depend on the angle of an onrunning tide and this allows us to reach a conclusion about the influence of a geostrophic
current on the generation of internal waves.

The generation process of internal waves by strong tidal flow over a continental shelf slope is reproduced using a multi-level
numerical model. On the basis of the numerical results, the crucial role of the tidal advection effect in the generation process
of internal waves is demonstrated. The close relation between the resulting internal waveform and the strength of the tidal
advection effect is also examined. The barotropic forcing on the internal wave actually works within a relatively small horizontal
scale over the top of the continental shelf slope. When the maximum internal Froude number at the shelf break (Frm) is less than about 0.6, the amplitude of the resulting internal wave is almost proportional to Frm. When Frm is more than about 0.6, however, the amplitude of the resulting internal wave becomes larger than predicted by linear theory.
In particular, when Frm is more than unity, the time period during which the shoreward propagating internal wave stays in the barotropic forcing
region becomes much longer. Consequently, the internal wave is significantly amplified with the horizontal scale approaching
that of the barotropic forcing, which concentrates in a relatively small region over the top of the continental shelf slope.

Internal waves generated by a barotropic wave impinging on a bottom ridge with continuously varying height are studied within
the framework of the linear theory of long waves. We consider the case where the diurnal tide travels at an arbitrary angle
to the axis of the ridge located in the area of a geostrophic flow caused by tilting of the free sea surface and the interface
of a two-layer ocean. We study the dependences of the amplitudes of internal waves on the velocity of the geostrophic flow,
the direction of propagation of the barotropic tide, and the geometry of the ridge.

Internal solitary waves (ISWs), travelling towards the South–South-West (SSW), are now well documented in the northern and central Bay of Biscay. These are formed from large-amplitude internal tides which result from the interaction of the barotropic tide with the steep shelf-break topography. In the present paper, we investigate available satellite imagery (Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and ASAR data) to reveal that the southern Bay of Biscay is also a “hotspot” region which has a high level of ISW activity. Here, the ISWs travel towards the East–North-East from the Cape Finisterre region off North-West Spain. In fact, we reveal the presence of two wave-trains travelling in slightly different directions (055°T and 040°T). By calculating the strength of the barotropic tidal forcing in the region, and identifying the likely propagation pathways (rays) of internal tidal (IT) energy, we identify the generation sites for these wave-trains as lying on either side of the Ortegal Promontory (OP). This is an undersea “headland” projecting towards the North-West from the north-western coast of Spain (near 44°N, 8.5°W), and over which the barotropic tides are forced to flow. For each generation site, IT rays emanating from “critical” topography (where the ray slope is equal to the topographic slope) in regions of strong barotropic forcing, rise to the surface (for one site after a reflection from the sea-floor) and pass through the thermocline close to the earliest occurrences of the ISWs in the respective wave trains. These rays would then produce, through nonlinear processes, the ISWs through the same “local generation” mechanism that has been used to explain the occurrence of the ISWs in the northern and central Bay. The “local generation” mechanism may therefore be more widely applicable than previously thought. In addition, the methods we have used to deduce the generation sites for these waves are expected to prove equally useful for studies in other areas of the world's oceans. 相似文献

We observed strong internal tidal waves in the Kara Gates Strait. Internal tides are superimposed over a system of mean currents from the Barents to the Kara Sea. Field studies of internal tides in the Kara Gates were performed in 1997, 2007, and 2015. In 2015, we analyzed data from towed CTD measurements, numerical model calculations, and satellite images in the region. An internal tidal wave with a period of 12.4 h is generated due to the interaction between the currents of the barotropic tide and the bottom relief on the slopes of a ridge that crosses the strait from Novaya Zemlya to the continent. The depths of the ridge crest are 30–40 m. A constant current of relatively warm water flows from the Barents to the Kara Sea. An internal wave propagates in both directions from the ridge. In the Barents Sea, internal waves are intensified by the current from the Barents to the Kara Sea. Internal bores followed by a packet of short-period internal waves are found in both directions from the strait. Satellite images show that short-period internal waves are generated after the internal bore. A hydraulic jump was found on the eastern side of the strait. Numerical modeling agrees with the experimental results. 相似文献

An array of three bottom-mounted ADCP moorings was deployed on the prevailing propagation path of strong internal tides for nearly 1 year across the continental slope in the northern South China Sea. These velocity measurements are used to study the intra-annual variability of diurnal and semidiurnal internal tidal energy in the region. A numerical model, the Luzon Strait Ocean Nowcast/Forecast System developed at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory that covers the northern South China Sea and the Kuroshio, is used to interpret the observed variation of internal tidal energy on the Dongsha slope. Internal tides are generated primarily at the two submarine ridges in the Luzon Strait. At the western ridge generation site, the westward energy flux of the diurnal internal tide is sensitive to the stratification and isopycnal slope associated with the Kuroshio. The horizontal shear at the Kuroshio front does not modify the propagation path of either diurnal or semidiurnal tides because the relative vorticity of the Kuroshio in Luzon Strait is not strong enough to increase the effective inertial frequency to the intrinsic frequency of the internal tides. The variation of internal tidal energy on the continental slope and Dongsha plateau can be attributed to the variation in tidal beam propagation in the northern South China Sea. 相似文献

Transmission and reflection coefficients are calculated for Rossby waves incident on a bottom topography with constant slope in a continuously stratified ocean. The characteristics of the coefficients are interpreted in terms of the quasigeostrophic waves on the slope. In the parameter range where only the barotropic Rossby waves can propagate in the region outside the slope, the bottom trapped wave plays the same role as the topographic Rossby wave in a homogeneous ocean, and hence the transmission is weak unless phase matching takes place. When both of the barotropic and baroclinic Rossby waves can propagate outside the slope, the total transmission can be strong. The bottom trapped wave affects the transmission and reflection, and it leads to the possibility that the Rossby wave is transmitted as a mode different from the incident mode. When the number of the wavy modes on the slope is smaller than that of the Rossby wave modes outside the slope, strong reflection occurs.The results for an ocean with linear distribution of the squared Brunt-Väisälä frequency are compared to those in a uniformly stratified ocean. The weakening of the stratification near the bottom is almost equivalent to reducing the effect of the slope. 相似文献

The continental slope to the south of the Celtic Sea is an area of extremely rough topography and tidal currents of the order of 50cm/s (with components both along and across the slope). This is a region of intense and complicated internal wave and internal tide activity. Historical current meter data from moorings close to the shelf-break show bursts of high frequency, large amplitude internal waves occurring, on average, at either once or twice per M2 tidal cycle. Wave packets at 9 moorings along the shelf-break and further on-shelf are identified using conditional sampling. The paths travelled by these wave packets are calculated using their fluctuation orientation, linear wave theory and the low frequency current. The records are up to 60 days long, allowing the ensemble statistics of propagation direction and wave characteristics to be calculated for a large number of wave packets. This analysis shows that only a fraction of the observed wave packets have orientations consistent with generation by the across-slope barotropic tide. This mechanism accounts for 20% of the wave packets in the north-west Celtic Sea and 29% in the southeast Celtic sea. A similar fraction of the wave packets (23% in the north west and 27% in the south east) have orientations clearly consistent with generation by an along-slope flow over the rough topography on the slope. The remaining wave packets are attributed to generation by tidal flow over topography close to the moorings and possibly internal wave resonance within canyons. 相似文献

In the framework of the linear theory for long waves, the paper studies internal waves generated by a semi-diurnal barotropic
tide impinging on a bottom ridge at an arbitrary angle. The ocean is assumed to be double-layered. In the vicinity of the
ridge, whose height is continuously changing, geostrophic flows occurring due to the inclination of the free surface and interface
are considered. The dependencies of the generated wave's amplitudes on the angle of incidence of the tide and on the magnitude
and direction of the geostrophic current velocity are determined, allowing a conclusion that the current contributes to the
generation of internal waves.

The Luzon Strait is blocked by two meridional ridges at depths, with the east ridge somewhat higher than the west ridge in
the middle reaches of the Strait. Previous numerical models identified the Luzon Strait as the primary generation site of
internal M2 tides entering the northern South China Sea (Niwa and Hibiya, 2004), but the role of the west-versus-east ridge was uncertain.
We used a hydrostatic model for the northern South China Sea and a nonhydrostatic, process-oriented model to evaluate how
the west ridge of Luzon Strait modifies westward propagation of internal tides, internal bores and internal solitary waves.
The dynamic role of the west ridge depends strongly on the characteristics of internal waves and is spatially inhomogeneous.
For M2 tides, both models identify the west ridge in the middle reaches of Luzon Strait as a dampener of incoming internal waves
from the east ridge. In the northern Luzon Strait, the west ridge is quite imposing in height and becomes a secondary generation
site for M2 internal tides. If the incoming wave is an internal tide, previous models suggested that wave attenuation depends crucially
on how supercritical the west ridge slope is. If the incoming wave is an internal bore or internal solitary wave, our investigation
suggests a loss of sensitivity to the supercritical slope for internal tides, leaving ridge height as the dominant factor
regulating the wave attenuation. Mechanisms responsible for the ridge-induced attenuation are discussed. 相似文献

A high resolution modeling study is undertaken, with a 2.5-dimensional nonhydrostatic model, of the generation of internal waves induced by tidal motion over the ridges in Luzon Strait. The model is forced by the barotropic tidal components K1, M2, and O1. These tidal components, along with the initial density field, were extracted from data and models. As the barotropic tide moves over the Luzon Strait sills, there is a conversion of barotropic tidal energy into baroclinic tidal energy. Depressions are generated that propagate towards the Asian Seas International Acoustics Experiment (ASIAEX) test site on the Chinese continental shelf. Nonlinear effects steepen the depressions, frequency and amplitude dispersion set in, and disintegration into large amplitude solitary waves occurs. The effects of varying the initial density field, tidal component magnitudes, as well as adding a steady background current to represent the occasional excursions of the Kuroshio Current into the strait, are considered.Depressions are generated at each of the two sills in Luzon Strait which radiate away, steepening and evolving into internal solitary wave trains. Baroclinic fluxes of available potential energy, kinetic energy and linear are calculated for various parameter combinations. The solitary wave trains produced in the simulations generally consist of large amplitude wave trains alternating with small amplitude wave trains. During strong tidal flow, Kelvin–Helmholtz type instabilities can develop over the taller double-humped sill. The solitary waves propagating towards the ASIAEX test site have been observed to reach amplitudes of 120–250 m, depending on the tidal strength. ASIAEX observations indicate amplitudes up to 150 m and the Windy Island Experiment (WISE) measurements contain magnitudes over 200 m. The model results yield solitary wave amplitudes of 70–300 m and half widths of 0.60–3.25 km, depending on parameter values. These are in the range of observations. Measurements by Klymak et al. (2006), in the South China Sea, exhibit amplitudes of 170 m, half widths of 3 km and phase speeds of 2.9 m s?1. Model predictions indicate that the solitary waves making up the wave packet each experience different background currents with strong near surface shear.The energy in the leading soliton of the large amplitude wave trains ranges between 1.8 and 9.0 GJ m?1. The smaller value, produced using barotropic tidal currents based on the Oregon State University data base, is the same as the energy estimated to be in a solitary wave observed by Klymak et al. (2006). Estimates of the conversion of barotropic tidal energy into radiating internal wave energy yield conversion rates ranging between 3.6% and 8.3%. 相似文献
