We present a method, based on the concept of age and residence time, to study the water renewal in a semi-enclosed domain. We split the water of this domain into different water types. The initial water is the water initially present in the semi-enclosed domain. The renewing water is defined as the water entering the domain of interest. Several renewing water types may be considered depending on their origin. We present the equations for computing the age and the residence time of a certain water type. These timescales are of use to understand the rate at which the water renewal takes place. Computing these timescales can be achieved at an acceptable extra computer cost.The above-mentioned method is applied to study the renewal of epilimnion (i.e. the surface layer) water in Lake Tanganyika. We have built a finite element reduced-gravity model modified to take into account the water exchange between the epilimnion and the hypolimnion (i.e. the bottom layer), the water supply from precipitation and incoming rivers, and the water loss from evaporation and the only outgoing river. With our water renewal diagnoses, we show that the only significant process in the renewal of epilimnion water in Lake Tanganyika is the water exchange between the epilimnion and the hypolimnion, other phenomena being negligible. 相似文献

A new mesh refinement strategy for generating high quality unstructured meshes of the Northwestern European continental shelf, the continental slope and the neighbouring ocean is presented. Our objective is to demonstrate the ability of anisotropic unstructured meshes to adequately address the challenge of simulating the hydrodynamics occurring in these three regions within a unique mesh. The refinement criteria blend several hydrodynamic considerations as the tidal wave propagation on the continental shelf and the hydrostatic consistency condition in steep areas. Several meshes illustrate both the validity and the efficiency of the refinement strategy. The selection of the refinement parameters is discussed. Finally, an attempt is made to take into account tidal ellipses, providing another cause for anisotropy in the mesh. 相似文献

The constituent-oriented age theory (CAT) worked out by Delhez et al. (1999) is a flexible tool that can be applied to diagnose complex models. It is shown here how this can be used to quantify the pace at which an ecosystem model works. At the cost of the introduction of one additional evolution equation for each compartment of the ecosystem model, the mean age of the biological material forming these compartments can be computed. The information obtained in this way complements the information provided by the concentration data; while the latter measures the standing stocks, the former provides an integrated assessment of the interaction rates and matter fluxes. The benefits of the method are demonstrated with a simple Lotka–Volterra system and a one-dimensional vertical model of the nitrogen cycle in the Ligurian Sea. The theory can be used to study the biological compartments individually or the ecosystem as a whole. In particular, the age is a valuable tool to quantify the overall cycling rate of nitrogen in the food web.Responsible Editor: Phil Dyke 相似文献

We describe the time discretization of a three-dimensional baroclinic finite element model for the hydrostatic Boussinesq
equations based upon a discontinuous Galerkin finite element method. On one hand, the time marching algorithm is based on
an efficient mode splitting. To ensure compatibility between the barotropic and baroclinic modes in the splitting algorithm,
we introduce Lagrange multipliers in the discrete formulation. On the other hand, the use of implicit–explicit Runge–Kutta
methods enables us to treat stiff linear operators implicitly, while the rest of the nonlinear dynamics is treated explicitly.
By way of illustration, the time evolution of the flow over a tall isolated seamount on the sphere is simulated. The seamount
height is 90% of the mean sea depth. Vortex shedding and Taylor caps are observed. The simulation compares well with results
published by other authors. 相似文献

At high Peclet number, the residence time exhibits a boundary layer adjacent to incoming open boundaries. In a Eulerian model,
not resolving this boundary layer can generate spurious oscillations that can propagate into the area of interest. However,
resolving this boundary layer would require an unacceptably high spatial resolution. Therefore, alternative methods are needed
in which no grid refinement is required to capture the key aspects of the physics of the residence time boundary layer. An
extended finite element method representation and a boundary layer parameterisation are presented and tested herein. It is
also explained how to preserve local consistency in reversed time simulations so as to avoid the generation of spurious residence
time extrema. Finally, the boundary layer parameterisation is applied to the computation of the residence time in the Scheldt
Estuary (Belgium/The Netherlands). This timescale is simulated by means of a depth-integrated, finite element, unstructured
mesh model, with a high space–time resolution. It is seen that the residence time temporal variations are mainly affected
by the semi-diurnal tides. However, the spring–neap variability also impacts the residence time, particularly in the sandbank
and shallow areas. Seasonal variability is also observed, which is induced by the fluctuations over the year of the upstream
flows. In general, the residence time is an increasing function of the distance to the mouth of the estuary. However, smaller-scale
fluctuations are also present: they are caused by local bathymetric features and their impact on the hydrodynamics. 相似文献

Occasionally, numerical simulations using local turbulence closure schemes to estimate vertical turbulent fluxes exhibit small-scale oscillations in space, causing the eddy coefficients to vary over several orders of magnitude on short distances. Theoretical developments suggest that these spurious oscillations are essentially due to the way the eddy coefficients depend on the vertical gradient of the model’s variables. An instability criterion is derived based on the assumptions that the artefacts under study are due to the development of small-amplitude, small time- and space-scale perturbations of a smooth solution. The relevance of this criterion is demonstrated by applying it to a series a closure schemes, ranging from the Pacanowski–Philander formulas to the Mellor–Yamada level 2.5 model. 相似文献

To efficiently simulate the advection-diffusion processes along and across density surfaces, we need to deal with a diffusivity tensor containing off-diagonal elements (Redi, J Phys Oceanogr, 12:1154–1158, 1982). In the present paper, the Lagrangian model, in case of a space-varying diffusivity tensor, is developed. This random walk model is applied for two idealized test cases for which the analytical solutions are known. Results of the testing show that the Lagrangian approach provides accurate and effective solutions of advection-diffusion problems for general diffusivity tensor. 相似文献

In this paper, an improved methodology for the determination of missing values in a spatiotemporal database is presented.
This methodology performs denoising projection in order to accurately fill the missing values in the database. The improved
methodology is called empirical orthogonal functions (EOF) pruning, and it is based on an original linear projection method
called empirical orthogonal functions (EOF). The experiments demonstrate the performance of the improved methodology and present
a comparison with the original EOF and with a widely used optimal interpolation method called objective analysis. 相似文献
