摘要:

本文研究了一个区域海洋模式的内波连续体在高垂直波数下的垂直谱动能通量和传输。以前的工作表明,该模型允许IW级联的部分表示。在这项工作中,垂直频谱KE通量分解成催化剂,源,和目的地频带的非线性散射,一个框架,允许识别不同类型的非线性相互作用,涉及波和涡。潮上IW连续体内的能量传递被发现是强烈依赖于水平分辨率。具体而言,在1/48度的水平网格间距,绝大多数KE在潮上连续到达那里从较低的频率模式,通过一个单一的非线性相互作用,而在1/384度KE转移潮上IW连续的大小可比KE转移从较低的频率模式。此外,比较与现有的理论和观测工作的能量途径在IW连续。诱导扩散(ID)被认为是与一个弱的前向频率转移内潮IW连续。光谱局部相互作用被发现在模型演化中起着微不足道的作用。与此同时,涉及高垂直波数近惯性波和潮波以及低垂直波数涡流场的ID类过程是实质性的,这表明在本数值模拟中产生Garrett-Munk类光谱的过程,也许真实的海洋可能比理想化或仅波的框架更加多样化。

英文摘要:

The internal-wave (IW) continuum of a regional ocean model is studied in terms of the vertical spectral kinetic-energy (KE) fluxes and transfers at high vertical wavenumbers. Previous work has shown that this model permits a partial representation of the IW cascade. In this work, vertical spectral KE flux is decomposed into catalyst, source, and destination frequency bands of nonlinear scattering, a framework that allows for the discernment of different types of nonlinear interactions involving both waves and eddies. Energy transfer within the supertidal IW continuum is found to be strongly dependent on horizontal resolution. Specifically, at a horizontal grid spacing of 1/48-degrees, the vast majority of KE in the supertidal continuum arrives there from lower frequency modes through a single nonlinear interaction, while at 1/384-degrees KE transfers within the supertidal IW continuum are comparable in size to KE transfer from lower-frequency modes. Additionally, comparisons are made with existing theoretical and observational work on energy pathways in the IW continuum. Induced diffusion (ID) is found to be associated with a weak forward frequency transfer within the supertidal IW continuum. Spectrally local interactions are found to play an insignificant role within the model evolution. At the same time, ID-like processes involving high vertical-wavenumber near-inertial and tidal waves as well as low-vertical-wavenumber eddy fields are substantial, suggesting that the processes giving rise to a Garrett-Munk-like spectra in the present numerical simulation and perhaps the real ocean may be more varied than in idealized or wave-only frameworks.
