Numerical modelling of tsunami propagation in the open Black Sea     

S. F. Dotsenko  A. V. Konovalov 《Physical Oceanography》1996,7(1):65-77

This paper focuses on the numerical modelling of tsunami propagation in the open Black Sea. Two types of numerical models are discussed: a model for the radial propagation of long waves and an evolutionary finite-difference prognostic model. Experimentally derived numerical data on the model source of tsunamis are reported. Translated by Vladimir A. Puchkin.  相似文献   

The interaction of surface waves in the presence of wind     

V. A. Kalmykov 《Physical Oceanography》1996,7(2):91-97

Zakharov's equation is applied to study numerically the evolution of wave amplitudes. It is demonstrated that, owing to Krasitskii's new kernel functions, the system of surface waves remains Hamiltonian, in contrast to the former approaches used by Yuen, Lake, and Zakharov. If surface waves are wind-generated, they grow and become stochastic. If the effect of the waves on the wind is considered, then the wave amplitude evolution, similar to the no-wind case, continues to be recurrent. Translated by Vladimir A. Puchkin.  相似文献   

A formal derivation and numerical modelling of the improved Boussinesq equations for varying depth   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

S Beji  K Nadaoka 《Ocean Engineering》1996,23(8):691-704

A formal derivation of the improved Boussinesq equations of Madsen and Sørens (1992) is presented to provide the correct forms of the depth-gradient related terms. Linear shoaling characteristics of the new equations are investigated by the method of Madsen and Sørensen (1992) and by the energy flux concept separately and found to agree perfectly, whereas these approaches give conflicting results for the equations derived by Madsen and Sørensen (1992). Furthermore, Nwogu's (1993) modified Boussinesq model is found to produce a linear shoaling-gradient identical with the present work. Numerical modelling of the derived equations for directional waves is carried out by three-time-level finite-difference approximations. A higher-order radiation condition is implemented for effective absorption of the outgoing waves. Several test cases are included to demonstrate the performance of the model.  相似文献   

Miocene extensional detachments in the outcropping basement of the northern Alboran Basin (Betics) and their tectonic implications     

V. García-Dueñas  J. C. Balanyá  J. M. Martínez-Martínez 《Geo-Marine Letters》1992,12(2-3):88-95

Whether or not there are extensional detachment faults in the Alboran basement can be tested directly because a part of the Alboran Basin is now emerged. These detachments, related to crustal thinning beneath the Alboran Basin, occurred from the Aquitanian to Tortonian. The resulting extensional geometries can be described in general terms. During the Serravalian a considerable southwest extension of the basin took place, accompanied by south-southeast extension in the northern Gibraltar Arc. Other detachments affected by Serravalian extension can be found. The spreading of the Alboran was nearly coeval with roughly westward migration of the Gibraltar mountain front.  相似文献   

Some statistical methods of the objective classification of oceanographic data     

A. K. Ambrosimov 《Physical Oceanography》1992,3(5):391-396

Algorithms for the compression and objective classification of low-volume samplings according to the test of their belonging to different statistical populations are given. Samplings are discriminated by thex ² test. The distributions of the temperature patch horizontal scales in the upper ocean are analysed. It is shown that optimum empirical thresholds exist when the abstract classification mechanism goes over to the objective natural classification.Translated by Mikhail M. Trufanov.  相似文献   

Wave climate in a groin field     

V. Sundar  H. Noethel  K. P. Holz 《Ocean Engineering》1992,19(5)

Wave records at seven different locations within a groin field have been analysed by both statistical and spectral approaches to study the general wave climate. The wave heights and periods from the wave records were obtained by both upcross and downcross methods for the statistical approach. The variation of different wave height and wave period parameters with respect to the time of measurement at a particular location and its variation at different locations within the groin field at a particular instant of time are presented and discussed in detail in this paper. It is generally found that the wave heights follow the Weibull distribution.  相似文献

Interaction of internal waves with a horizontally inhomogeneous density field area overlying a ridge     

N. M. Stashchuk  L. V. Cherkesov 《Physical Oceanography》1990,1(6):495-500

In the context of the general linear theory, we consider the propagation of an internal tide across a frontal zone overyling an oceanic ridge. For a uniformly stratified ocean, the solution was derived using Riemann's technique. The dependences of the generated internal wave amplitudes on the stratification parameters and bottom topography were determined. We have found that wave disturbances of high intensity inside and in the neighbourhood of the ridge may be concentrated in raytype areas. An increase of the horizontal density gradient in the frontal zone results in a perceptible deformation of these areas.Translated by Vladimir A. Puchkin.  相似文献   

Sea-floor observations in the tongue of the ocean,Bahamas: An Argo/SeaMARC survey     

William C. Schwab  Elazar Uchupi  Robert D. Ballard  Thomas K. Dettweiler 《Geo-Marine Letters》1989,9(3):171-178

SeaMARC side-scan sonographs and Argo video and photographic data suggest that the recent sedimentary environment of the floor of the Tongue of the Ocean is controlled by an interplay of turbidity current flow from the south, sediment spill-over from the carbonate platform to the east (windward side), and rock falls from the west carbonate escarpment (lee side). The spill-over forms a sandy sedimentary deposit that acts as a topographic obstruction to the turbidity current flow from the south. This obstruction is expressed by the westward migration of a northwest-southeast oriented turbidity-current-cut channel.  相似文献
