The detailed reconstruction of the directional spectrum of wind waves from measurements of the wave field is an essential requirement for several applications, including the numerical modeling of wave evolution. Three reconstruction techniques that provide estimates of the directional distribution function D(f,θ), given the one-dimensional frequency spectrum, are compared using data from a coastal locality at the southern Brazilian coast. The techniques are the maximum entropy method (MEM), the Fourier Expansion Method using a cos2 type function (FEMcos) and the Fourier Expansion Method using a sech type function (FEMsech). The main patterns of the wave climate at the study site are qualitatively assessed. Three main sea states, including swell, transition between local sea and swell, and directionally bimodal wind sea, are identified. Time series from three events associated with the main sea states provide test cases for inter comparison of the three reconstruction techniques. Maximum entropy estimates of D(f,θ) provide results that are more consistent than those obtained from the two FEM techniques in all cases considered. 相似文献

Tide gauges distributed all over the world provide valuable information for monitoring mean sea level changes. The statistical models used in estimating sea level change from the tide gauge data assume implicitly that the random model components are stationary in variance. We show that for a large number of global tide gauge data this is not the case for the seasonal part using a variate-differencing algorithm. This finding is important for assessing the reliability of the present estimates of mean sea level changes because nonstationarity of the data may have marked impact on the sea level rate estimates, especially, for the data from short records. 相似文献

Projected sea level rise in Florida 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Future sea level rise will lead to salt water intrusion, beach/dune recession, and many other coastal problems. This paper addresses a data based forecasting approach to provide relative sea level rise estimates at locations in Florida where historical water level data exist. Many past estimates of sea level rise have treated the rise as a linear straight line trend over the historical data set. The present paper has allowed for acceleration (or deceleration) in sea level rise to account for the possibility of anthropogenic global warming and consequent higher (than linear straight line) future sea levels similar to values noted by global climatic modelers. Results of the present analysis show sea level rise for Florida being higher than past straight line trend results. 相似文献

This paper considers the use of multifrequency radiometers to determine some emission properties of sea surface and its dependence on wind speed, atmospheric water vapor content, and liquid water content in clouds. The following aspects are analyzed: a) the sea state influence upon radiative characteristics of the "ocean-atmosphere" system, b) calibration of the data on range measurement, c) choice of spectral bands which provide optimum accuracy for determination of geophysical parameters with due regard to the spectral peculiarities of the functional relationships between the radiophysical and geophysical parameters and their uncertainties. Data are presented (with suitable illustrations) for an experiment to determine different hydrometeorological conditions and estimates of the accuracy of applied retrieval procedures. 相似文献

Abstract A set of time‐averaged sea surface heights at 1° intervals, derived from the adjusted SEASAT altimeter data, and the GEML2 gravity field are used to estimate the long‐wavelength stationary sea surface topography. In order to reduce the leakage of energy in the estimated sea surface topography, the GEML2 field is augmented by the Rapp81 gravity field to generate geoidal undulations with wavelengths consistent with the ones of sea surface heights. These undulations are subtracted from the sea surface heights, and the resulting differences are subjected to filtering in order to recover sea surface topography with minimum wavelengths of 6000 km and an estimated accuracy of 20–25 cm. These estimates agree well with oceanographic and other satellite‐derived results. The direction of current flow can be computed on a global basis using the spherical harmonic expansion of sea surface topography. This is done not only for the SEASAT/GEML2 estimates, but also using the recent dynamic topography estimates of Levitus. The results of the two solutions are very similar and agree well with the major circulation features of the oceans. 相似文献

The ideal scatterometer, operating from either an aircraft or a satellite platform, should be capable of making rapid, accurate estimates of the sea backscatter cross sectionsigma over as wide a range of grazing anglespsi as possible. Efficient operation over a large range of grazing angles is desirable because 1)sigma behavior for90deg geq psi geq 70deg yields rms gravity wave slope information and is an indicator of sea state and 2)sigma behavior for70deg geq psi geq 0deg yields data on surface wind magnitude and direction as well as information about the power spectrum of the sea. A "hybrid" estimation procedure has been developed for pulse compression radars which uses both frequency and spatially decorrelated samples ofsigma to provide an unbiased estimate ofsigma having minimum variance over the entire range of grazing angles for which radar reception is not noise-limited. 相似文献

The Seasat altimeter data has been completely adjusted by a crossing arc technique to reduce the crossover discrepancies to
approximately ±30 cm in five regional adjustments. This data was then used to create sea surface heights at 1° intersections
in the ocean areas with respect to the GRS80 ellipsoid. These heights excluded the direct tidal effects but included the induced
permanent deformation.
A geoid corresponding to these sea surface heights was computed, based on the potential coefficients of the GEML2 gravity
field up to degree 6, augmented by Rapp's coefficients up to degree 180. The differences between sea surface heights and the
geoid were computed to give approximate estimates of sea surface topography. These estimates are dominated by errors in both
sea surface heights and geoid undulations. To optimally determine sea surface topography a spherical harmonic analysis of
raw estimates was carried out and the series was further truncated at degree 6, giving estimates with minimum wavelengths
on the order of 6000 km.
The direction of current flow can be computed on a global basis using the spherical harmonic expansion of the sea surface
topography. Ths has been done, not only for Seasat/GEML2 estimates, but also using the recent dynamic topography estimates
of Levitus. The results of the two solutions are very similar and agree well with the major circulation features of the oceans. 相似文献

An approximate method is presented for calculating drift forces on arrays of vertically axisymmetric bodies in a wave tank. It is assumed that the wave scattering properties of an isolated element and of the array in the open sea are known. The procedure described allows the open-sea results to be post-processed to give good estimates of drift forces when a structural array is placed in a wave tank. For the particular case of an array of vertical circular cylinders extending throughout the depth, the method is compared with accurate results from the full linear problem for scattering by the array both when the array is in the tank and when it is in the open sea. The results show how the mean forces on the array when in the tank may differ considerably from those experienced in the open sea. 相似文献

The capabilities and limitations of the simulation of the probability density of rough sea surface elevations using the Gram-Charlier
series are analyzed. The data of direct wave measurements at an oceanographic platform in the Black Sea are used in the analysis.
The skewness of the sea surface elevation’s distribution depends on the mean slope formed by the dominating waves and on the
degree of the wave field development. A weak trend in the variations of the peakedness during the measurements of these parameters
is also observed. The estimates of the errors in the peakedness measurements during the construction of the probability density
of the sea surface elevations using the first five terms of the Gram-Charlier series are presented. 相似文献

We compare the estimates of the flow rates for the Upper and Lower Bosporus Currents obtained by using both the altimetry data on the Black-Sea level and the data of the coastal stations. Earlier, in analyzing the water exchange, it was customary to use the mean sea level computed according to the data of coastal stations located along the coast of the former Soviet Union. It is shown that the seasonal and annual variations of the increments of the mean sea level are qualitatively similar for the data of both types. At the same time, the values of the amplitudes of seasonal variations are noticeably different. The use of the increments of the mean sea level computed according to the altimetry data leads to insignificant changes in the annual water exchange through Bosporus as compared with the values obtained by using the coastal data. However, the seasonal variations of these data are somewhat different. We propose an algorithm for the evaluation of increments of the sea level, which, in authors' opinion, decreases the error in the analysis of water balance. 相似文献

Sea angling has been shown to be a high value activity with significant expenditure by individuals on their sport. Deriving estimates of the economic contribution of recreational sea angling is important in a number of related policy contexts, from tourism management and economic development policy, to the sustainable management of inshore fish stocks. This paper reveals some of the challenges in understanding the economic effects associated with recreational sea angling, and provides estimates of the economic value of recreational sea angling in England. The results were derived from research undertaken in England in 2011-13, which was conducted as part a wide ranging government-funded study, Sea Angling 2012, that estimated sea angler catches, spending and activity. Recreational sea angling made a significant contribution to the economy, supporting just over £2 billion of total spending, and 23,600 jobs in England in 2012-13. The implications of these results are discussed in the context of the management of recreational sea angling in England. 相似文献

The Fram Strait(FS) is the primary region of sea ice export from the Arctic Ocean and thus plays an important role in regulating the amount of sea ice and fresh water entering the North Atlantic seas. A 5 a(2011–2015) sea ice thickness record retrieved from Cryo Sat-2 observations is used to derive a sea ice volume flux via the FS. Over this period, a mean winter accumulative volume flux(WAVF) based on sea ice drift data derived from passivemicrowave measurements, which are provided by the National Snow and Ice Data Center(NSIDC) and the Institut Francais de Recherche pour d'Exploitation de la Mer(IFREMER), amounts to 1 029 km~3(NSIDC) and1 463 km~3(IFREMER), respectively. For this period, a mean monthly volume flux(area flux) difference between the estimates derived from the NSIDC and IFREMER drift data is –62 km~3 per month(–18×10~6 km~2 per month).Analysis reveals that this negative bias is mainly attributable to faster IFREMER drift speeds in comparison with slower NSIDC drift data. NSIDC-based sea ice volume flux estimates are compared with the results from the University of Bremen(UB), and the two products agree relatively well with a mean monthly bias of(5.7±45.9) km~3 per month for the period from January 2011 to August 2013. IFREMER-based volume flux is also in good agreement with previous results of the 1990 s. Compared with P1(1990/1991–1993/1994) and P2(2003/2004–2007/2008), the WAVF estimates indicate a decline of more than 600 km~3 in P3(2011/2012–2014/2015). Over the three periods, the variability and the decline in the sea ice volume flux are mainly attributable to sea ice motion changes, and second to sea ice thickness changes, and the least to sea ice concentration variations. 相似文献

Sound from an airborne source travels to a receiver beneath the sea surface via a geometric path that is most simply described using ray theory, where the atmosphere and the sea are assumed to be isospeed sound propagation media separated by a planar surface (the air-sea interface). This theoretical approach leads to the development of a time-frequency model for the signal received by a single underwater acoustic sensor and a time-delay model for the signals received by a pair of spatially separated underwater acoustic sensors. The validity of these models is verified using spatially averaged experimental data recorded from a linear array of hydrophones during various transits of a turboprop aircraft. The same approach is used to solve the inverse time-frequency problem, that is, estimation of the aircraft's speed, altitude, and propeller blade rate given the observed variation with time of the instantaneous frequency of the received signal. Similarly, the inverse time-delay problem is considered whereby the speed and altitude of the aircraft are estimated using the differential time-of-arrival information from each of two adjacent pairs of widely spaced hydrophones (with one hydrophone being common to each pair). It is found that the solutions to each of the inverse problems provide reliable estimates of the speed and altitude of the aircraft, with the inverse time-frequency method also providing an estimate that closely matches the actual propeller blade rate 相似文献

A Doppler sonar technique capable of measuring ground speed and distance traveled at extreme ocean depths is described. The technique uses nonlinear acoustic effects to create the narrow beams required. Performance estimates are calculated and parameters for a test system chosen. Sonar Pond test results of transmitter beam patterns and source levels are given. The sea trials conducted in July and August of 1975, aboard the R. V. Sperry Star off New Providence Island, are described. Evaluation of data taken in water depths to 11 000 ft is made and substantial agreement with original estimates is demonstrated. The feasibility of an accurate, all ocean capability, dead reckoning navigator is thus confirmed. 相似文献

A method is developed to estimate ocean sound speed profiles through synthesis of remotely measured environmental data and historical statistics of sound speed obtained at a remotely sensed location. Sound speed profiles are represented by an expansion of empirical orthogonal functions (EOF) of the historical sound speed variation, while the remotely sensed environmental data provide real-time information to determine the expansion coefficients. Environmental inputs are limited to sea surface temperature available from satellite infrared sensors, acoustic time-of-flight and ocean bottom temperature measurable from bottom mounted acoustic and thermal transducers. A multilayer perceptron neural network is implemented to learn the functional transformation from the measured environmental input to the desired EOF coefficient output on a set of representative sound speed profiles. Sea surface temperature, time-of-year, and time-of-flight from the acoustic multipath that maximally samples the vertical sound speed are found to be the dominant inputs. The trained network is computationally efficient and produces estimates for untrained environmental inputs with a mean error of 1.1-4.4 m/s 相似文献

Precise Positioning of Ocean Bottom Seismometer by Using Acoustic Transponder and CTD 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

We have obtained precise estimates of the position of Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS) on the sea bottom. Such estimates are usually uncertain due to their free falling deployment. This uncertainty is small enough, or is correctable, with OBS spacing of more than 10 km usually employed in crustal studies. But, for example, if the spacing is only 200 m for OBS reflection studies, estimates of the position with an accuracy of the order of 10 m or more is required.The determination was carried out with the slant range data, ship position data and a 1D acoustic velocity structure calculated from Conductivity–Temperature–Depth (CTD) data, if they are available. The slant range data were obtained by an acoustic transponder system designed for the sinker releasing of the OBS or travel time data of direct water wave arrivals by airgun shooting. The ship position data was obtained by a single GPS or DGPS. The method of calculation was similar to those used for earthquake hypocenter determination.The results indicate that the accuracy of determined OBS positions is enough for present OBS experiments, which becomes order of 1 m by using the DGPS and of less than 10 m by using the single GPS, if we measure the distance from several positions at the sea surface by using a transponder system which is not designed for the precise ranging. The geometry of calling positions is most important to determine the OBS position, even if we use the data with larger error, such as the direct water wave arrival data. The 1D acoustic velocity structure should be required for the correct depth of the OBS. Although it is rare that we use a CTD, even an empirical velocity structure works well. 相似文献

通过数值模拟计算发现，对于分层有吸收海底，在层厚已知的条件下，除最下面的介质以外．有可能利用垂直入射的脉冲声波遥测各层的密度、声速与吸收系数。此法的要点是，根据入射波和层参数的假设值算得反射信号，与实际反射信号比较；然后改变参数再作计算，直到误差最小为止．此时对应的层参数即为介质参数值实际的估计值。指出根据这种方法有可能实现以自适应方法遥测分层海底的介质参数。 相似文献
