Biogeochemical impact of tropical instability waves in the equatorial Pacific
Tropical Instability Waves (TIW) have been suggested to fertilize the equatorial Pacific in iron leading to enhanced ecosystem activity. Using a coupled dynamical–biogeochemical model, we show that contrary to this suggestion, TIWs induce a decrease of iron concentration by 20% at the equator and by about 3% over the “TIW box” [90°W180, 5°N-5°S]. Chlorophyll decreases by 10% at the equator and ...
متن کاملNonlinear shallow water tropical instability waves on the equatorial plane: Genesis of two distinct types of waves
[1] The nonlinearity of Tropical InstabilityWaves (TIWs) is studied using shallow-water equations with various mean states from the equatorial Pacific Ocean. In the early linear stage, unstable TIWs, centered near 5 N with a wavelength about 1000 km and a period about one month, dominate the whole domain. However neutral Yanai waves with periods about 15–22 days emerge near the equator when the...
متن کاملSome nonlinear internal equatorial waves with a strong underlying current
We describe an exact solution of the nonlinear governing equations for the internal equatorial water waves with an underlying current in the f -plane approximation near the equator. Thesewaves travel westward at a constant speed, and a strong uniform horizontal current underlies the flow. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
متن کاملInstability of large solitary water waves
We consider the linearized instability of 2D irrotational solitary water waves. The maxima of energy and the travel speed of solitary waves are not obtained at the highest wave, which has the 120 degree angle at the crest. Under the assumption of non-existence of secondary bifurcation which is con rmed numerically, we prove linear instability of solitary waves which are higher than the wave of ...
متن کاملModels for Internal Waves in Deep Water
We study properties of solitary wave solutions of three evolution equations arising in the modeling of internal waves Our experiments indicate that broad classes of initial data resolve into solitary waves but also suggest that solitary waves do not interact exactly thus suggesting two of these equa tions are not integrable In the course of our numerical simulations interesting meta stable quas...
