Ocean Waves Workshop 2015
The present study investigates the conspicuous shortcomings of the whitecapping dissipation model implemented in WAM Cycle 4.5 [1], following the lead of the work of [2] and [3]. Its dependence on an overall wave steepness unavoidably yields systematic errors when more than one wave system is propagating. The distinctive, complex orography of the Catalan littoral and the fact that the Mediterra...
متن کاملWaves in the Ocean
In this document we will discuss three types of waves: wind-driven waves, tides and tsunamis. When the wind blows on the surface of the ocean it produces ripples, waves, and swell. Gravitational forces (mostly from the moon and sun) plus centrifugal forces in the solar system produce tides. Tectonic forces such as earthquakes that cause vertical displacements of the ocean floor, submarine volca...
متن کاملRossby waves in ocean circulation*
-It is shown that damped, stat ionary Rossby waves can occur in the ocean superimposed on a steady west to east flow. A model o f wind-driven ocean circulation in a two dimensional homogeneous ocean is constructed in which Rossby waves occur in the northern port ion of the basin. I N T R O D U C T I O N SINCE the work of SmMMEL (1948) it has been recognized that any dynamic theory of wind-drive...
متن کاملCould waves mix the ocean?
A finite-amplitude propagating wave induces a drift in fluids. Understanding how drifts produced by many waves disperse pollutants has broad implications for geophysics and engineering. Previously, the effective diffusivity was calculated for a random set of small-amplitude surface and internal waves. Now, this is extended by Bühler & Holmes-Cerfon (J. Fluid Mech., 2009, this issue, vol. 638, p...
متن کاملOcean surface waves in an ice free Arctic Ocean
The retreating of Arctic ice edge implies that global ocean surface wave models have to be extended at high latitudes or even to cover the North Pole in the future. The obstacles for conventional latitude-longitude grid wave models to cover the whole Arctic are the polar problems associated with their Eulerian advection schemes, including the CFL restriction on diminishing grid-length towards t...
