A 'Standard' ocean state is introduced into the equations of the model and the perturbed thermodynamic variables are used in the modlc's calculations. Both a free upper surface and a bottom topography are included in the model and a sigma coordinate is used to normalize the model's vertical component. The model has four unevenly-spaced layers and 4 × 5 horizontal resolution based on C-grid system. The finite-difference scheme of the model is designed to conserve the gross available energy in order to avoid fictitious energy generation or decay.The model has been tested in response to the annual mean surface wind stress, sea level air pressure and sea level air temperature as a preliminary step to its further improvement and its coupling with a global atmospheric general circulation model. Some of results, including currents, temperature and sea surface elevation simulated by the mode! arc presented.展开更多

This model is integrated numerically with annual mean wind stress and heat flux at sea surface for 30 a. The ocean circulations tend to quasi-stability. The simulated results show that the computed annual mean currents and sea surface temperature agree well with the observations.展开更多

Simulations were carried out by hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic models with horizontal resolution of 5.00 m, 2.50 m and 1, 25 m, respectively. The simulation results for the homogeneous lake are robust to the grid size, and the non-hydrostatic pressure effect is not important in this ease. For the stratified case, the results are sensitive to both the grid size and non-hydrostatic pressure corrections.展开更多

Application of the altimeter data may modifg initial tield and thus 24-hour prediction of significant wave height. However the variations in initial wave field almost make no effect on 48-hour predictions.展开更多
