Japan (East) Sea Dynamics Using Numerical Models With 1/8° to 1/64° Resolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Investigate Japan/East Sea circulation dynamics in a systematic and progressive fashion using a sequence of increasingly complex ocean models and model-data comparisons. Investigate the impact of upper ocean topographical coupling and isopycnal outcropping on the mean pathways of the major current systems, including those over the continental shelf region. Also, to assess the impact of different wind forcing on the JES circulation, with emphasis on the branching of the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC).

Effects of Winds, Tides, and Storm Surges on Ocean Surface Waves in the Japan/east Sea
Wind driven oceanic surface waves have a major impact on marine activity, especially near the coastal regions. Strong winds associated with winter storms induce storm surges along the west coast of Japan. Combined high wind conditions, tides, and storm surges can have a tremendous impact on the surface wave fields. Accurate wave forecast becomes an important issue at various operational forecas...
متن کاملLong-Term Pattern of Primary Productivity in the East/Japan Sea Based on Ocean Color Data Derived from MODIS-Aqua
The East/Japan Sea (hereafter, the East Sea) is highly dynamic in its physical phenomena and biological characteristics, but it has changed substantially over the last several decades. In this study, a recent decadal trend of primary productivity in the East Sea was analyzed based on Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)-derived monthly values to detect any long-term change. The...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Hydraulic Characteristics Effective on Vertical Drop
The drops are used to control the descents, stabilize the bed level, and control the upstream water level in sloping channels with less slope than the ground slope. The current study presents a numerical analysis of hydraulic characteristics in the vertical drop using computational fluid dynamics. At first, the laboratory models were used for verification and choosing the best model of turbule...

Quaternary climatic cycles have influenced marine organisms' spatial distribution and population dynamics. This study aimed to elucidate the evolutionary influences of contemporary and glacial physical barriers on the population structure, demography and colonization history of the mudskipper (Periophthalmus modestus) based on a mitochondrial gene segment (ND5) from 131 individual fish sampled ...
متن کاملAbsolute Permeability Calculation by Direct Numerical Simulation in Porous Media
Simulating fluid flow at micro level is an ongoing problem. Simplified macroscopic flow models like Darcy’s law is unable to estimate fluid dynamic properties of porous media. The digital sample reconstruction by high resolution X-ray computed tomography scanning and fluid-dynamics simulation, together with the increasing power of super-computers, allow to carry out pore-scale simulations throu...
