The general circulation of the oceans defines the average movement ofseawater, which, like the atmosphere, follows a specific pattern. Superimposed on this pattern are oscillations oftidesandwaves, which are not considered part of the general circulation. There also aremeandersand eddies that represent...
Although the moorings were separated laterally by only 11 km, the upper current meters also recorded significant differences in M2 tidal currents, indicating the presence of significant internal tides at this site. Below volcano summit depth (1220 m), the kinetic energy of currents was primarily ...
The physical processes acting on larvae in the coastal ocean include buoyancy-driven flows, tidal currents, wind-driven transport, tides and internal waves, surface waves, and turbulence, as well as the interactions of these flows with topography (Gawarkiewicz et al., 2007). The interplay ...
Marine current energy is the kinetic energy of flowing seawater, mainly the relatively steady ocean flow in strait or water channel and the regular current flow caused by tides. Energy can be extracted from marine current by ways which is theoretically similar to wind power generation. The power...
M Olabarrieta,JC Warner,N Kumar - 《Journal of Geophysical Research Oceans》 被引量: 135发表: 2011年 Nonlinear interactions of waves and tides in a subterranean estuary Previous studies have revealed hysteretic behavior in subterranean estuaries in response to intensified wave conditions caused by of...
The International Energy Agency Ocean Energy Systems Implementing Agreement undertakes various activities with regard to the development and utilization of marine renewable energy, such as tides, waves, marine currents, thermal gradients and salinity gradients in order to generate electricity, as well as ...
The estimates for the tidal current amplitudes ( u tide) of the dominant constituent are appropriate for linear or weakly nonlinear systems with predominantly barotropic tides; the ratio of tidal height to water depth is small ( η/ h1) in linear or weakly nonlinear regimes. Within tidal ...
At a global scale, about 1TW is converted from astronomically forced barotropic tides into tidal internal waves, also called internal tides (ITs)2,3,4. This conversion occurs mainly at oceanic ridges and seamounts. In addition, 0.3–1.4 TW is converted into near-inertial internal waves (NIWs)...
A water current refers to the movement of water in seas and oceans that accompanies cyclic variations in sea levels, as explained in the context of tides in the equilibrium theory of tides by Newton. AI generated definition based on: Encyclopedia of Energy, 2004 ...
(2002) claimed that the propagating and standing semidiurnal tides were co-existent, with most of the energy of the semidiurnal tide coming from the north. The diurnal tide is generally less intense than the semidiurnal tide in the Taiwan Strait, except at its southern sector. Sea level ...
