海岸不平衡:大气扰动引起的海洋开尔文波

Coastal imbalance: generation of oceanic Kelvin waves by atmospheric perturbations

Jacques Vanneste

摘要:

一个半无限大的海洋对一个缓慢穿越海岸的大气扰动的响应,提供了一个边界引起的近地转平衡破裂的简单例子。我们在小罗斯贝数$\varepsilon \ll 1$的线性浅水模型中研究这种响应。使用匹配渐近,我们表明,一个长开尔文波,与$O(\varepsilon^{-1})$长度尺度和$O(\varepsilon)$振幅相对于准地转响应,产生的扰动穿过海岸。考虑到这种开尔文波,就恢复了在准地转近似中违反的质量守恒。

英文摘要:

The response of a semi-infinite ocean to a slowly travelling atmospheric perturbation crossing the coast provides a simple example of the breakdown of nearly geostrophic balance induced by a boundary. We examine this response in the linear shallow-water model at small Rossby number $\varepsilon \ll 1$. Using matched asymptotics we show that a long Kelvin wave, with $O(\varepsilon^{-1})$ length scale and $O(\varepsilon)$ amplitude relative to quasigeostrophic response, is generated as the perturbation crosses the coast. Accounting for this Kelvin wave restores the conservation of mass which is violated in the quasigeostrophic approximation.
