This study examines main physical processes affecting the three-dimensional (3D) circulation and hydrographic distributions over the inner Scotian Shelf (ISS) in June and July 2006 using a nested-grid coastal ocean circulation modeling system known as the NCOPS-LB. The nested-grid system has five relocatable downscaling submodels, with the outermost submodel of a coarse horizontal resolution of (1/12)° for simulating storm surges and barotropic shelf waves over the Eastern Canadian shelf and the innermost submodel of a fine resolution of ～180 m for simulating the 3D coastal circulation and hydrography over Lunenburg Bay of Nova Scotia in the default setup. The NCOPS-LB is driven by meteorological and astronomical forcing and used to study the storm-induced circulation over the ISS during tropical storm Alberto. Model results demonstrate that the coastal circulation and hydrographic distributions over the ISS are affected significantly by tides, local wind forcing, and remotely generated coastal waves during the study period. 相似文献

This study examines seasonal circulation, hydrography, and associated spatial variability over the inner shelf of the northern South China Sea (NSCS) using a nested-grid coastal ocean circulation model. The model external forcing consists of tides, atmospheric forcing, and open boundary conditions based on the global ocean circulation and hydrography reanalysis produced by the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean model. Five numerical experiments are conducted with different combinations of external forcing functions to examine main physical processes affecting the seasonal circulation in the study region. Model results demonstrate that the monthly mean circulation in the study region features the Guangdong Coastal Current (GCC) over coastal waters and the South China Sea Warm Current (SCSWC) in the offshore deep waters. The GCC produced by the model flows nearly southwestward in winter months and northwestward in summer months, which agrees with previous studies. The SCSWC flows roughly northeastward and is well defined in summer months. In winter months, by comparison, the SCSWC is superseded by the southwestward strong wind-driven currents. Analysis of model results in five different experiments demonstrates that the monthly mean circulation over coastal and inner shelf waters of the NSCS can be approximated by barotropic currents forced by the southwestward monsoon winds in winter months. In summer months, by comparison, the monthly mean circulation in the study region is affected significantly by baroclinic dynamics associated with freshwater runoff from the Pearl River and advection of warm and saline waters carried by the SCSWC over the NSCS. 相似文献

The Bay of Fundy in eastern Canada has the highest tides in the world. Harnessing the tidal energy in the region has long
been considered. In this study, the effects of tidal in-stream energy extraction in the Minas Passage on the three-dimensional
(3D) tidal circulation in the Bay of Fundy (BoF) and the Gulf of Maine (GoM) are examined using a nested-grid coastal ocean
circulation model based on the Princeton Ocean Model (POM). The nested-grid model consists of a coarse-resolution (~4.5 km)
parent sub-model for the GoM and a high-resolution (~1.5 km) child sub-model for the BoF. The tidal in-stream energy extraction
in the model is parameterized in terms of nonlinear Rayleigh friction in the momentum equation. A suite of numerical experiments
are conducted to determine the ranges of extractable tidal in-stream energy and resulting effects on the 3D tidal circulation
over the Bay of Fundy and the Gulf of Maine (BoF-GoM) in terms of the Rayleigh friction coefficients. The 3D model results
suggest that the maximum energy extraction in the Minas Passage increases tidal elevations and tidal currents throughout the
GoM and reduces tidal elevations and circulation in the upper BoF, especially in the Minas Basin. The far-field effect of
tidal energy extraction in the Passage on the 3D tidal circulation in the BoF-GoM is examined in two cases of harnessing tidal
in-stream energy from (a) the entire water column and (b) the lower water column within 20 m above the bottom in the Passage.
The 3D model results demonstrate that tidal in-stream energy extraction from the lower water column has less impact on the
tidal elevations and circulation in the BoF-GoM than the energy extraction from the whole water column in the Minas Passage. 相似文献

Within the hydrodynamic modelling community, it is common practice to apply different modelling systems for coastal waters
and river systems. Whereas for coastal waters 3D finite difference or finite element grids are commonly used, river systems
are generally modelled using 1D networks. Each of these systems is tailored towards specific applications. Three-dimensional
coastal water models are designed to model the horizontal and vertical variability in coastal waters and are less well suited
for representing the complex geometry and cross-sectional areas of river networks. On the other hand, 1D river network models
are designed to accurately represent complex river network geometries and complex structures like weirs, barrages and dams.
A disadvantage, however, is that they are unable to resolve complex spatial flow variability. In real life, however, coastal
oceans and rivers interact. In deltaic estuaries, both tidal intrusion of seawater into the upstream river network and river
discharge into open waters play a role. This is frequently approached by modelling the systems independently, with off-line
coupling of the lateral boundary forcing. This implies that the river and the coastal model run sequentially, providing lateral
discharge (1D) and water level (3D) forcing to each other without the possibility of direct feedback or interaction between
these processes. An additional disadvantage is that due to the time aggregation usually applied to exchanged quantities, mass
conservation is difficult to ensure. In this paper, we propose an approach that couples a 3D hydrodynamic modelling system
for coastal waters (Delft3D) with a 1D modelling system for river hydraulics (SOBEK) online. This implies that contrary to
off-line coupling, the hydrodynamic quantities are exchanged between the 1D and 3D domains during runtime to resolve the real-time
exchange and interaction between the coastal waters and river network. This allows for accurate and mass conserving modelling
of complex coastal waters and river network systems, whilst the advantages of both systems are maintained and used in an optimal
and computationally efficient way. The coupled 1D–3D system is used to model the flows in the Pearl River Delta (Guangdong,
China), which are determined by the interaction of the upstream network of the Pearl River and the open waters of the South
China Sea. The highly complex upstream river network is modelled in 1D, simulating river discharges for the dry and wet monsoon
periods. The 3D coastal model simulates the flow due to the external (ocean) periodic tidal forcing, the salinity distribution
for both dry and wet seasons, as well as residual water levels (sea level anomalies) originating from the South China Sea.
The model is calibrated and its performance extensively assessed against field measurements, resulting in a mean root mean
square (RMS) error of below 6% for water levels over the entire Pearl River Delta. The model also represents both the discharge
distribution over the river network and salinity transport processes with good accuracy, resolving the discharge distribution
over the main branches of the river network within 5% of reported annual mean values and RMS errors for salinity in the range
of 2 ppt (dry season) to 5 ppt (wet season). 相似文献

Influenced by the seasonally reversed monsoons, water exchange through straits, and topography, the shelf and slope circulation in the northern South China Sea (NSCS) is complex and changeable. The typical current system in the NSCS consists of the slope current, South China Sea warm current (SCSWC), coastal current, and associated upwelling (in summer) and downwelling (in winter). This paper reviews recent advances in the study of NSCS shelf and slope circulation since the 1990s, and summarizes the roles of Kuroshio intrusion, the monsoons, topography, and the buoyancy effect of the Pearl River plume in the shelf and slope current system of the NSCS. We also point out some potential scientific issues that require further study, such as the dynamic connection between the internal basin and shelf areas of the NSCS, the persistence of the SCSWC in winter, the temporo-spatial characteristics of downwelling during winter in the NSCS, and its material and energy transport. 相似文献

A chain of three nested models, based on the MARS 3D code, is used to simulate the North-western Mediterranean Sea circulation
with a finest grid of 1.2 km resolution and 30 vertical sigma levels. This modelling system allows to resolve the coastal
dynamics taking into account the influence of the general basin circulation. The aim of this study is to assess the ability
of the nested MARS-3D models to reproduce most of the circulation features observed in the North-western Mediterranean Basin
and in the Gulf of Lions. Comparisons of modelled sea surface temperature and salinity with MEDAR/MEDATLAS climatology and
NOAA/AVHRR satellite measurements show that the model accurately reproduces the large and coastal scale variability. Over
the Northern Basin, the seasonal changes of the cyclonic gyre extension are correctly simulated, even though in summer, the
modelled temperature of the surface layer remains in basin-average 1°C cooler than the satellite measured temperature. As
soon as the stratification erodes, modelled and observed temperatures become closer. Over the Gulf of Lions, realistic coastal
responses are obtained under different wind conditions. Upwellings are correctly located and their intensity and spatial extension
were here improved by the use of Aladin wind fields (10 km spatial resolution) and the introduction of a drag coefficient
fitted according to the stability of the planetary boundary layer. The dispersion of fresh Rhone water discharge and the mesoscale
circulation simulated by MARS-3D also agree with satellite measurements. 相似文献

A numerical shelf circulation model was developed for the Scotian Shelf, using a nested-grid setup consisting of a three-dimensional baroclinic inner model embedded inside a two-dimensional barotropic outer model. The shelf circulation model is based on the Princeton Ocean Model and driven by three-hourly atmospheric forcing provided by a numerical weather forecast model and by tidal forcing specified at the inner model's open boundaries based on pre-calculated tidal harmonic constants. The outer model simulates the depth-mean circulation forced by wind and atmospheric pressure fields over the northwest Atlantic Ocean with a horizontal resolution of 1/12°. The inner model simulates the three-dimensional circulation over the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Scotian Shelf, and the adjacent slope with a horizontal resolution of 1/16°. The performance of the shelf circulation model is assessed by comparing model results with oceanographic observations made along the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia and in the vicinity of Sable Island (on the Scotian Shelf) during two periods: October 2000–March 2001 and April–June 2002. Analysis of model results on Sable Island Bank indicates that tidal currents account for as much as ∼80% of the total variance of near-bottom currents, and currents driven by local winds account for ∼30% of the variance of the non-tidal near-bottom currents. Shelf waves generated remotely by winds and propagating into the region also play an important role in the near-bottom circulation on the bank. 相似文献

A nested-grid hydrodynamic modelling system is used to study circulation and temperature distributions in Lake Huron (LH) and adjacent areas. This nested system is based on the three-dimensional, primitive-equation z-level ocean model. The nested system consists of two sub-components: a coarse-resolution outer model covering LH and Georgian Bay (GB) with a horizontal resolution of roughly 2.5 km, and the fine-resolution inner model covering eastern LH and northwestern GB with a horizontal resolution of roughly 900 m. Both the outer and inner models have 30 z-levels in the vertical. To assess the model performance, we simulate the three-dimensional circulation and temperature distributions of LH and GB in 1974–1975 and compare the model results with observations made in the lake. We demonstrate that outer model of the nested system simulates reasonably well the large-scale circulation and seasonal evolution of thermal stratifications in LH and GB, and the inner model produces reasonably well the three-dimensional flow and thermal structure over the coastal boundary layer close to the eastern shore of the lake. 相似文献

The Bras d’Or Lakes (BdOL) are a large, complex and virtually land-locked estuary in central Cape Breton Island of Nova Scotia and one of Canada’s charismatic ecosystems, sustaining ecological and cultural communities unique in many aspects. The BdOL comprise two major basins, many deep and shallow bays, several narrow channels and straits and a large, geologically complex watershed. Predictive knowledge of the water movement within the estuary is a key requirement for effective management and sustainable development of the BdOL ecosystem. A three-dimensional (3D) primitive-equation ocean circulation model is used to examine the estuary’s response to tides, winds and buoyancy forcing associated with freshwater runoff in a series of numerical experiments validated with empirical data. The model results generate intense, jet-like tidal flows of about 1 m s?1 in the channels between the basins and connecting them to the ocean and relatively weak tidal currents in other regions, which agrees well with previous observations and numerical results. Wind forcing and buoyancy forcing associated with river runoff play important roles in generating the significant sub-tidal circulations in the estuary, including narrow channels, deep basins and shallow bays. The circulation model is also used to reconstruct the 3D circulation and temperature-salinity distributions in the summer months of 1974, when current and hydrographic measurements were made at several locations. The sub-tidal circulation in the estuary produced by the model is characterised by wind and barometric set-up and set-down in different sections of the system, and a classic two-layer estuarine circulation in which brackish, near-surface waters flow seaward from the estuary into the Atlantic Ocean, and deep salty waters flow landward through the major channel. The model results reproduce reasonably well the overall features of observed circulation and temperature-salinity fields made in the BdOL in 1974 but generally underestimate the observed currents and density stratification. The model discrepancies reflect the use of spatially mean wind forcing and spatially and monthly mean surface heat flux and the inability of the coarse model horizontal resolution (～500 m) to resolve narrow channels and straits. 相似文献

多次深地震探测结果表明南海北部陆缘地壳结构在走向和倾向上都有明显的变化.在一些相隔很近的测线上,探测的深部地壳结构却相差较大,为了分析这些探测结果中差异的原因和地壳结构变化的可靠性,本文以东沙东侧海域测线和东沙西侧海域测线为例,对采集的海底地震仪记录进行了时间、位置校正和初至波走时拾取,利用有限差分地震走时层析成像进行了走时反演,获得所在剖面的地壳速度结构,并分析了模型的横向分辨率,剔除模型中短波长的横向速度变化.分辨率检测结果表明,模型的横向分辨率随着深度快速下降,0～8 km深度范围可以分辨10 km的横向变化,8～17 km的范围能够分辨10～40 km,而17～33 km的范围只能分辨40～80 km.因此,折射波的横向分辨能力不高,在地壳深部难以分辨较小的横向速度变化,前人探测的南海北部6 km宽、延伸至莫霍面的滨外断裂带并不能清晰的识别. 相似文献

This study was aimed at modeling, as realistically as possible, the dynamics and thermodynamics of the Iroise Sea by using
the Model for Applications at Regional Scale (MARS), a regional ocean 3D model. The horizontal resolution of the configuration
in use is 2 km with 30 vertical levels. The 3D model of the Iroise Sea is embedded in a larger model providing open boundary
conditions. As regards the atmospheric forcing, the originality of this study is to force the regional ocean model with the
high-resolution (6 km) regional meteorological model, Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF). In addition, as the air surface
temperature is highly sensitive to the sea surface temperature (SST), this regional meteorological model is improved by taking
into account a regional climatologic SST to compute meteorological parameters. By allowing a better coherence between the
SST and the temperature of the atmospheric boundary layer while giving a more realistic representation of heat fluxes exchanged
at the air/sea interface, this forcing constitutes a noticeable improvement of the Iroise Sea modeling. The different sensitivity
tests discussed here pinpoint the importance of entering, in WRF, SST data of sufficiently high quality before the computation
of meteorological forcing when the aim is a study of dynamics and thermodynamics far away from the coast. On the other hand,
when the target is the reproduction of coastal small-scale features in Iroise Sea modeling, the resolution of the meteorological
forcing and the quality of SST are both paramount. The simulation of reference was carried out throughout the Summer and Autumn
of year 2005 to allow comparisons with a campaign of surface current measurements by high-frequency radars conducted at the
same period. 相似文献

A two-way nested-grid ocean-circulation model for the Meso-American Barrier Reef System 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
A two-way nested-grid ocean-circulation model is developed for the Meso-American Barrier Reef System (MBRS), using a newly developed two-way interactive nesting technique. The unique feature of this new nesting technique is its use of the semi-prognostic method (Sheng et al. 2001) to exchange information between different grids through the model momentum equations. The nested-grid model for the MBRS has a fine-resolution inner model embedded in a coarse-resolution outer model. The outer model is the western Caribbean Sea model developed by Sheng and Tang (2003), with a horizontal resolution of roughly 19 km. The inner model domain covers the northwest Caribbean Sea (NWCS) between 79°W and 89°W and between 15.5°N and 22°N, with a horizontal resolution of roughly 6 km. The nested-grid ocean model is initialized with the January mean temperature and salinity and forced by the monthly mean COADS (comprehensive ocean-atmosphere data set) wind stress and surface heat flux. The model sea-surface salinity is restored to the monthly mean climatology. The nested-grid model is integrated for 2 years and the second-year model results are presented in this paper. The model-calculated annual-mean near-surface currents over the NWCS agree reasonably well with the time-mean near-surface currents inferred by Fratantoni (2001) from trajectories of the satellite-tracked 15-m drogued drifters in the 1990s. The two-way nested model is also used to quantify the role of local wind stress, local density gradients and boundary forcings of the outer model in driving the annual-mean circulation in the region.Responsible Editor: Phil Dyke 相似文献

Seasonal circulation of the Bohai Sea (BS) in 1992 was investigated using Lagrangian particle tracking method. The hydrography
of the BS was simulated based on an unstructured grid, finite-volume, three-dimensional primitive equation ocean model. With
the use of the unstructured triangular grid, the model can easily fit the irregular coastal boundary of the BS. The simulated
tides, tidal current, and thermohaline field agreed well with the observations. The transport of particles has three-dimensional
structure in the BS. Compared with central Bohai and Bohai Strait, the differences of particles’ transportation between surface
and bottom layer in three bays are small. The circulation in the summer is stronger than that in the winter, with the average
residual velocity in the surface layer being about 3.7 cm/s during the summer while only 1.8 cm/s during the winter. Using
the same model, several well-designed numerical experiments were performed to investigate the effect of oceanic tide, river
discharge, wind stress, and thermal stratification on the circulation. It is shown that winds play an important role in the
circulation of the BS during both the winter and the summer. Density circulation is important during the summer; however,
it is negligible during the winter. River runoff only affects the area around the river mouth. Compared with wind and thermohaline
effect, the contribution of tides is small during the summer, and the circulation under only M2 tidal constituent could not reflect the actual circulation of the BS. 相似文献

This study examines the circulation and associated monthly-to-seasonal variability in the Caribbean Sea using a regional ocean
circulation model. The model domain covers the region between 99.0 and 54.0°W and between 8.0 and 30.3°N, with a horizontal
resolution of 1/6°. The ocean circulation model is driven by 6-hourly atmospheric reanalysis data from the National Center
for Environmental Prediction and boundary forcing extracted from 5-day global ocean reanalysis data produced by Smith et al.
(Mercator Newsletter 36:39–49, 2010), and integrated for 7 years. A comparison of model results with observations demonstrates that the regional ocean circulation
model has skill in simulating circulation and associated variability in the study region. Analysis of the model results, as
well as a companion model run that uses steady annual mean forcing, illustrates the role of Caribbean eddies for driving monthly-to-seasonal
circulation variability in the model. It is found that vertically integrated transport between Nicaragua and Jamaica is influenced
by the interaction between the density perturbations associated with Caribbean eddies and the Nicaraguan Ridge. The impact
of Caribbean eddies squeezing through the Yucatan Channel is also discussed. 相似文献

Global ocean circulation models usually lack an adequate consideration of high-latitude processes due to a limited model domain
or insufficient resolution. Without the processes in key areas of the global thermohaline circulation, the characteristics
and flow of deep and bottom waters cannot be modeled realistically. In this study, a high-resolution (~20 km) ocean model
focused on the Weddell Sea sector of the Southern Ocean is combined with a low-resolution (2° × 2°) global ocean model applying the state estimation technique. Temperature, salinity, and velocity data on two Weddell Sea
sections from the regional model are used as constraints for the large-scale model in addition to satellite altimetry and
sea-surface temperatures. The differences between the model with additional constraints and without document that the Weddell
Sea circulation exerts significant influence on the course of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current with consequences for Southern
Ocean water mass characteristics and the spreading of deep and bottom waters in the South Atlantic. Furthermore, a warming
trend in the period 1993–2001 was found in the Weddell Sea and adjacent basins in agreement with float measurements in the
upper Southern Ocean. Teleconnections to the North Atlantic are suggested but need further studies to demonstrate their statistical
significance. 相似文献

This study shows that storm surge model performance in the North Sea is mostly unaffected by the application of temporal variations of surface drag due to changes in sea state provided the choice of a suitable constant Charnock parameter in the sea-state-independent case. Including essential meteorological features on smaller scales and minimising interpolation errors by increasing forcing data resolution are shown to be more important for the improvement of model performance particularly at the high tail of the probability distribution. This is found in a modelling study using WAQUA/DCSMv5 by evaluating the influence of a realistic air-sea momentum transfer parameterization and comparing it to the influence of changes in the spatial and temporal resolution of the applied forcing fields in an effort to support the improvement of impact and climate analysis studies. Particular attention is given to the representation of extreme water levels over the past decades based on the example of the Netherlands. For this, WAQUA/DCSMv5 is forced with ERA-Interim reanalysis data. Model results are obtained from a set of different forcing fields, which either (i) include a wave-state-dependent Charnock parameter or (ii) apply a constant Charnock parameter (α C h =?0.032) tuned for young sea states in the North Sea, but differ in their spatial and/or temporal resolution. Increasing forcing field resolution from roughly 79 to 12 km through dynamically downscaling can reduce the modelled low bias, depending on coastal station, by up to 0.25 m for the modelled extreme water levels with a 1-year return period and between 0.1 m and 0.5 m for extreme surge heights. 相似文献

Texture and tectonic attribute of Cenozoic basin basement in the northern South China Sea 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Based on the drilling data,the geological characteristics of the coast in South China,and the interpretation of the long seismic profiles covering the Pearl River Mouth Basin and southeastern Hainan Basin,the basin basement in the northern South China Sea is divided into four structural layers,namely,Pre-Sinian crystalline basement,Sinian-lower Paleozoic,upper Paleozoic,and Mesozoic structural layers.This paper discusses the distribution range and law and reveals the tectonic attribute of each structural layer.The Pre-Sinian crystalline basement is distributed in the northern South China Sea,which is linked to the Pre-Sinian crystalline basement of the Cathaysian Block and together they constitute a larger-scale continental block—the Cathaysian-northern South China Sea continental block.The Sinian-lower Paleozoic structural layer is distributed in the northern South China Sea,which is the natural extension of the Caledonian fold belt in South China to the sea area.The sediments are derived from southern East China Sea-Taiwan,Zhongsha-Xisha islands and Yunkai ancient uplifts,and some small basement uplifts.The Caledonian fold belt in the northern South China Sea is linked with that in South China and they constitute the wider fold belt.The upper Paleozoic structural layer is unevenly distributed in the northern South China.In the basement of Beibu Gulf Basin and southwestern Taiwan Basin,the structural layer is composed of the stable epicontinental sea deposit.The distribution areas in the Pearl River Mouth Basin and the southeastern Hainan Basin belong to ancient uplifts in the late Paleozoic,lacking the upper Paleozoic structural layers.The stratigraphic distribution and sedimentary environment in Middle-Late Jurassic to Cretaceous are characteristic of differentiation in the east and the west.The marine,paralic deposit is well developed in the basin basement of southwestern Taiwan but the volcanic activity is not obvious.The marine and paralic facies deposit is distributed in the eastern Pearl River Mouth Basin basement and the volcanic activity is stronger.The continental facies volcano-sediment in the Early Cretaceous is distributed in the basement of the western Pearl River Mouth Basin and Southeastern Hainan Basin.The Upper Cretaceous red continental facies clastic rocks are distributed in the Beibu Gulf Basin and Yinggehai Basin.The NE direction granitic volcanic-intrusive complex,volcano-sedimentary basin,fold and fault in Mesozoic basement have the similar temporal and spatial distribution,geological feature,and tectonic attribute with the coastal land in South China,and they belong to the same magma-deposition-tectonic system,which demonstrates that the late Mesozoic structural layer was formed in the background of active continental margin.Based on the analysis of basement structure and the study on tectonic attribute,the paleogeographic map of the basin basement in different periods in the northern South China Sea is compiled. 相似文献
