Short-Term Directional Variability of the Continuum Range in the Deep-Ocean Internal Wave Field
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple method (Zalkan, 1970) to examine the directionality of the internal wave field has been applied to temperature data at 1000 m depth from the IWEX trimooring (Briscoe, 1975). Results suggest the concept of a horizontally-isotropic deep-ocean internal wave field is not valid over 75-hour periods, but only over a longer time average. The estimated wavenumbers, for each frequency examined, lie along the calculated dispersion relation for modes 1-4.

AN APPROACH TOWARDS WAVE CLIMATE STUDY IN THE PERSIAN GULF AND THE GULF OF OMAN: SIMULATION AND VALIDATION
This article describes the 11-year wave simulation (1992-2002) in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman using the input data derived from European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The ECMWF 10 meter wind field and spectral wave boundary condition at 18 ْN degree are input into one of the latest versions of numerical wave models (3rd generation) after a few local modifications. ...

We present a theory predicting the high-frequency-high-wavenumber part of the spectral energy density of internal waves in the ocean. The theory is based on the wave turbulence formalism applied to a natural Hamiltonian description for the internal wave field. We show that stationary energy spectra form a family of statistically steady state scale invariant solutions. Remarkably, the high-frequ...

Abstract Wind induced wave is of great importance due to its high energy. In this study wave climate in the Gulf of Oman close to the Koohmobarak area is investigated. Wave climate study is necessary for determination of long-term analysis of wave statistics as well as climate change effects in the study area. First, wave climate is study using both measured and simulated wave data close to th...
متن کاملDevelopment of Forward-wave Directional Couplers Loaded by Periodic Shunt Shorted Stubs
In this paper a new procedure for designing forward-wave directional couplers using periodic shunt short circuited stubs is proposed. A new type of cell using these stubs, which enlarge the phase difference between even- and odd modes of a uniform microstrip coupled line is introduced. Using the equivalent circuit model for even- and odd-modes of the proposed cell, the elements of the ABCD tra...
متن کاملInternal Wave Generation in the Equatorial Undercurrent
The generation of internal waves in the equatorial undercurrent is studied using a large-eddy simulation (LES) model. The model is forced with a constant easterly windstress and diurnal heating and cooling. Internal waves are generated with typical horizontal wavelengths of about 250 m, consistent with observations and comparable to the wavelengths of the most unstable modes from linear instabi...
