This paper presents a new dynamic environmental risk model, with intended use within a new, dynamical approach for risk based ship traffic prioritisation. The philosophy behind this newly developed approach is that shipping risk can be reduced by directing efforts towards ships and areas that have been identified as high priority (high risk), prior to a potential accident. The risk model proposed in this paper separates itself from previous models by drawing on available information on dynamic factors and by focusing on the ship's surroundings. The model estimates the environmental risk of drift grounding accidents for oil tankers in real time and in forecast mode, combining the probability of grounding with oil spill impact on the coastline. Results show that the inherent dynamic risk introduced by an oil tanker sailing along the North Norwegian coast depends, not surprisingly, significantly upon wind and ocean currents, as well as tug position and cargo oil type. Results of this study indicate that the risk model is well suited for real time risk assessment, and effectively separates low risk and high risk situations. The model is well suited as a tool to prioritise oil tankers and coastal segments. This enables dynamic risk based positioning of tugs, using both real-time and projected risk, for effective support in case of a drifting ship situation. 相似文献

A three-dimensional non-linear, non-hydrostatic model in cross-sectional form is used to determine the factors influencing
the relative importance of the linear, non-hydrostatic and non-linear contributions to the internal wave energy flux in sill
regions due to tidal forcing. The importance of the free surface elevation term is also considered. Idealised topography representing
the sill at the entrance to Loch Etive, the site of a recent measurement programme, is used. Calculations show that the non-linear
terms in the energy flux become increasingly important as the sill Froude Number (F
s) increases and the sill aspect ratio is increased. The vertical profile of the stratification, in particular its value close
to the sill crest where internal waves are generated, has a significant influence on unsteady lee wave and mixed tidal–lee
wave generation and the non-linear contribution to the energy flux. Calculations show that as F
s increases, the energy flux due to the non-linear and non-hydrostatic terms increases more rapidly than the linear term. The
importance of the non-linear terms in the energy flux also increases as the sill aspect ratio is increased. Increasing the
buoyancy frequency reduces the contribution of the non-hydrostatic and non-linear terms to the total energy flux. Also, as
the buoyancy frequency is increased, this reduces unsteady lee wave and mixed tidal–lee wave generation. In essence, these
calculations show that the energy flux due to the non-hydrostatic and non-linear terms is appreciable in sill regions. 相似文献

Hydro carbon fields beyond the shelf break are presently being explored and developed, which has increased the scientific
focus in this area. Measurements from the slopes reveal large variability in temperature and velocity, and some of the observed
events are due to interactions between large-amplitude oscillations of the thermocline and the topography. The present study
focuses on the strong currents that are generated near the seabed during shoaling and breaking of internal waves along shelf
slopes. The parameter regime used is similar to the one for the Nordic Seas. The results show that, during shoaling of large
internal waves along (gentle) slopes, the energy is transferred towards smaller scales and strong velocities (over 1 m s − 1) can be generated. To resolve all scales involved is still not feasible, and therefore, the model results are sensitive to
the grid size and the subgrid scale closure. 相似文献

The flow of dense water along continental slopes is considered. There is a large literature on the topic based on observations and laboratory experiments. In addition, there are many analytical and numerical studies of dense water flows. In particular, there is a sequence of numerical investigations using the dynamics of overflow mixing and entrainment (DOME) setup. In these papers, the sensitivity of the solutions to numerical parameters such as grid size and numerical viscosity coefficients and to the choices of methods and models is investigated. In earlier DOME studies, three different bottom boundary conditions and a range of vertical grid sizes are applied. In other parts of the literature on numerical studies of oceanic gravity currents, there are statements that appear to contradict choices made on bottom boundary conditions in some of the DOME papers. In the present study, we therefore address the effects of the bottom boundary condition and vertical resolution in numerical investigations of dense water cascading on a slope. The main finding of the present paper is that it is feasible to capture the bottom Ekman layer dynamics adequately and cost efficiently by using a terrain-following model system using a quadratic drag law with a drag coefficient computed to give near-bottom velocity profiles in agreement with the logarithmic law of the wall. Many studies of dense water flows are performed with a quadratic bottom drag law and a constant drag coefficient. It is shown that when using this bottom boundary condition, Ekman drainage will not be adequately represented. In other studies of gravity flow, a no-slip bottom boundary condition is applied. With no-slip and a very fine resolution near the seabed, the solutions are essentially equal to the solutions obtained with a quadratic drag law and a drag coefficient computed to produce velocity profiles matching the logarithmic law of the wall. However, with coarser resolution near the seabed, there may be a substantial artificial blocking effect when using no-slip. 相似文献

Estimation of the internal pressure gradient in σ-coordinate ocean models: comparison of second-, fourth-, and sixth-order schemes 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Sigma-coordinate ocean models are attractive because of their abilities to resolve bottom and surface boundary layers. However,
these models can have large internal pressure gradient (IPG) errors. In this paper, two classes of methods for the estimation
of the IPGs are assessed. The first is based on the integral approach used in the Princeton Ocean Model (POM). The second
is suggested by Shchepetkin and McWilliams (2003) based on Green’s theorem; thus, area integrals of the pressure forces are transformed into line integrals. Numerical tests
on the seamount problem, as well as on a northwestern Atlantic grid using both classes of methods, are presented. For each
class, second-, fourth-, and sixth-order approximations are tested. Results produced with a fourth-order compact method and
with cubic spline methods are also given. The results show that the methods based on the POM approach in general give smaller
errors than the corresponding methods given in Shchepetkin and McWilliams (2003). The POM approach also is more robust when noise is added to the topography. In particular, the IPG errors may be substantially
reduced by using the computationally simple fourth-order method from McCalpin (1994). 相似文献

At the end of the 19th century geography became a mandatory subject in primary and secondary schools in Norway. Geography was seen as a useful subject that contributed to the modernization of society, but also as a subject that strengthened the national ideology. A need for better education in geography arose and consequently some authors of geography textbooks wrote about teaching geography. In order to strengthen teachers’ education, geography was taught at university level, and to develop the subject it became necessary to relate it to other subjects, especially geology. The author shows that there are several similarities between the content of geography taught in Norwegian schools in the late 19th century and geography taught in schools today. 相似文献
