Download or read book An Experimental Investigation of Low mode Internal Wave Generation and Interaction with Shelf Topography written by Abigail Clarke Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A set of laboratory experiments were performed to examine the generation of low-mode internal waves and their interaction with an idealized continental shelf/slope topography. A tunable wave generator was utilized to produce a high-quality mode-1 wave field in a linearly stratified fluid. Modal analysis results indicate the generation of a high-quality mode-1 wave which transforms into higher modes as the wave interacts with the topography. The wave-slope interactions produced a range of responses including the formation of upslope-surging internal boluses that propagated across the shelf flat. Bolus formation was primarily dependent on the wave Froude number and the ratio of the topographic slope to the internal wave characteristic slope. Boundary layer thickness and finite water depth are also shown to effect bolus formation and propagation. These results compare well to the two-dimensional numerical simulations of Venayagamoorthy and Fringer (2007) with some deviations which may be attributable to the effects of the three-dimensionality of these experiments. Comparisons are also made to experiments (Moore et al., 2015, JFM in review) performed in a two-layer stratification where internal boluses were observed.

Download or read book Instability in Geophysical Flows written by William D. Smyth and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instabilities are present in all natural fluids from rivers to atmospheres. This book considers the physical processes that generate instability. Part I describes the normal mode instabilities most important in geophysical applications, including convection, shear instability and baroclinic instability. Classical analytical approaches are covered, while also emphasising numerical methods, mechanisms such as internal wave resonance, and simple `rules of thumb' that permit assessment of instability quickly and intuitively. Part II introduces the cutting edge: nonmodal instabilities, the relationship between instability and turbulence, self-organised criticality, and advanced numerical techniques. Featuring numerous exercises and projects, the book is ideal for advanced students and researchers wishing to understand flow instability and apply it to their own research. It can be used to teach courses in oceanography, atmospheric science, coastal engineering, applied mathematics and environmental science. Exercise solutions and MATLAB® examples are provided online. Also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Download or read book The Interaction of Ocean Waves and Wind written by Peter Janssen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was published in 2004. The Interaction of Ocean Waves and Wind describes in detail the two-way interaction between wind and ocean waves and shows how ocean waves affect weather forecasting on timescales of 5 to 90 days. Winds generate ocean waves, but at the same time airflow is modified due to the loss of energy and momentum to the waves; thus, momentum loss from the atmosphere to the ocean depends on the state of the waves. This volume discusses ocean wave evolution according to the energy balance equation. An extensive overview of nonlinear transfer is given, and as a by-product the role of four-wave interactions in the generation of extreme events, such as freak waves, is discussed. Effects on ocean circulation are described. Coupled ocean-wave, atmosphere modelling gives improved weather and wave forecasts. This volume will interest ocean wave modellers, physicists and applied mathematicians, and engineers interested in shipping and coastal protection.
Download or read book The Northern North Atlantic written by Priska Schäfer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The northern North Atlantic is one of the regions most sensitive to past and present global changes. This book integrates the results of an interdisciplinary project studying the properties of the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian Seas and the processes of pelagic and benthic particle formation, particle transport, and deposition in the deep-sea sediments. Ice-related and biogeochemical processes have been investigated to decipher the spatial and temporal variability of the production and fate of organic carbon in this region. Isotopic stratigraphy, microfossil assemblages and paleotemperatures are combined to reconstruct paleoceanographic conditions and to model past climatic changes in the Late Quaternary. The Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian Seas can now be considered one of the best studied subbasins of the world`s oceans.

Download or read book Waves Tides and Shallow water Processes written by Open University. Oceanography Course Team and published by Pergamon. This book was released on 1989 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fourth Volume of the six Volume Open University set. Each Volume is used by students as a relevant part of the Open University course in the UK, but designed so that it can equally be used as an individual text book. This Volume describes waves, their measurement and characteristics, their behaviour in shallow water and unusual waves. It also considers mainly theoretical aspects of sediment movement and deposition of currents, wave estuaries, and the interaction of waves, tides and river flow in deltas. Concludes with a look at shelf-sea processes and their mineral resources. Each Volume in this set is well laid out and copiously illustrated with full colour photographs, graphs and graphics. Questions to help develop arguments and/or understanding can be found in the text and at the end of each chapter, with worked answers provided at the back of each Volume. Each chapter also concludes with a summary to help consolidate understanding before the next chapter is begun.

Download or read book Cooling and Internal Waves on the Continental Shelf written by James M. Pringle and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolution of a coastal ocean undergoing uniform surface heat loss is examined. The dynamics of this ocean are initially modulated by the intense vertical mixing driven by surface cooling. The strong vertical mixing prevents the formation of geostrophic flows and inhibits the cross-shelf flux of heat. The vertical mixing is eventually suppressed by the advective transport of cold, dense water offshore. Once this happens, alongshore geostrophic flows form, and become baroclinically unstable. The surface heat flux is then balanced by a cross-shelf eddy heat flux. Scales are found for the cross-shelf density gradient which results from this balance. Solutions for linear internal waves are found for a wedge-shaped bathymetry with bottom friction. Bottom friction is capable of entirely dissipating the waves before they reach the coast, and waves traveling obliquely offshore are reflected back to the coast from a caustic. The internal wave climate near two moorings of the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment observation program is analyzed. The high frequency internal wave energy levels were elevated above the Garrett and Munk spectrum, and the spectrum becomes less red as one moves to the shore. The wave field is dominated by vertical-mode one waves, and internal wave energy propagates shoreward.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of a reliable miniature molded transducer for the Williams/Koehler acoustic current meters, BASS (Benthic Acoustic Stress Sensor) is documented. The procedures developed and components selected for manufacturing the transducer assemblies are documented as well as some of those rejected. Engineering tests performed to ensure reliable performance in the field are outlined and discussed as well. The transducers are now routinely molded with great success (over 1200 operational transducer months to date) and commercial sources are being investigated. (Author).
