Horton1 1Nanyang Technological University, Singapore ([email protected]) 2Centre for Climate Research Singapore, Singapore 3University of Colorado Boulder, USA 4American Museum of Natural History, USA Southeast Asia is especially vulnerable to the impacts of sea-level rise due to the presence of many low-lying small islands and highly populated coastal cities. However, our current understanding of sea-level projections and changes in upper-ocean dynamics over this region currently rely on relatively coarse resolution (~100 km) global climate model (GCM) simulations and is therefore limited over the coastal regions. Here using GCM simulations from the High-Resolution Model Intercomparison Project (HighResMIP) of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) to (1) examine the improvement of mean-state biases in the tropical Pacific and dynamic sea-level (DSL) over Southeast Asia; (2) generate projection on DSL over Southeast Asia under shared socioeconomic pathways phase-5 (SSP5-585); and (3) diagnose the role of changes in regional ocean dynamics under SSP5-585. We select HighResMIP models that included a historical period and shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP) 5-8.5 future scenario for the same ensemble and estimate the projected changes relative to the 1993-2014 period.

Definition of the Subject II. Introduction{Historical Perspective III. Completely Integrable Shallow Water Wave Equations IV. Shallow Water Wave Equations of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics V. Computation of Solitary Wave Solutions VI. Water Wave Experiments and Observations VII. Future Directions VIII. Bibliography Glossary Deep water A surface wave is said to be in deep water if its wavelength is much shorter than the local water depth. Internal wave A internal wave travels within the interior of a fluid. The maximum velocity and maximum amplitude occur within the fluid or at an internal boundary (interface). Internal waves depend on the density-stratification of the fluid. Shallow water A surface wave is said to be in shallow water if its wavelength is much larger than the local water depth. Shallow water waves Shallow water waves correspond to the flow at the free surface of a body of shallow water under the force of gravity, or to the flow below a horizontal pressure surface in a fluid. Shallow water wave equations Shallow water wave equations are a set of partial differential equations that describe shallow water waves. 1 Solitary wave A solitary wave is a localized gravity wave that maintains its coherence and, hence, its visi- bility through properties of nonlinear hydrodynamics. Solitary waves have finite amplitude and propagate with constant speed and constant shape. Soliton Solitons are solitary waves that have an elastic scattering property: they retain their shape and speed after colliding with each other.

  • An Unconditionally Stable Scheme for the Shallow Water Equations*
    810 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW VOLUME 128 An Unconditionally Stable Scheme for the Shallow Water Equations* MOSHE ISRAELI Computer Science Department, Technion, Haifa, Israel NAOMI H. NAIK AND MARK A. CANE Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University, Palisades, New York (Manuscript received 24 September 1998, in ®nal form 1 March 1999) ABSTRACT A ®nite-difference scheme for solving the linear shallow water equations in a bounded domain is described. Its time step is not restricted by a Courant±Friedrichs±Levy (CFL) condition. The scheme, known as Israeli± Naik±Cane (INC), is the offspring of semi-Lagrangian (SL) schemes and the Cane±Patton (CP) algorithm. In common with the latter it treats the shallow water equations implicitly in y and with attention to wave propagation in x. Unlike CP, it uses an SL-like approach to the zonal variations, which allows the scheme to apply to the full primitive equations. The great advantage, even in problems where quasigeostrophic dynamics are appropriate in the interior, is that the INC scheme accommodates complete boundary conditions. 1.

  • Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems, and the Climate Sciences
    Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems, and the Climate Sciences Michael Ghil and Eric Simonnet Abstract This contribution introduces the dynamics of shallow and rotating flows that characterizes large-scale motions of the atmosphere and oceans. It then focuses on an important aspect of climate dynamics on interannual and interdecadal scales, namely the wind-driven ocean circulation. Studying the variability of this circulation and slow changes therein is treated as an application of the theory of nonautonomous dynamical systems. The contribution concludes by discussing the relevance of these mathematical concepts and methods for the highly topical issues of climate change and climate sensitivity. Michael Ghil Ecole Normale Superieure´ and PSL Research University, Paris, FRANCE, and University of California, Los Angeles, USA, e-mail: [email protected] Eric Simonnet Institut de Physique de Nice, CNRS & Universite´ Coteˆ d’Azur, Nice Sophia-Antipolis, FRANCE, e-mail: [email protected] 1 Chapter 1 Effects of Rotation The first two chapters of this contribution are dedicated to an introductory review of the effects of rotation and shallowness om large-scale planetary flows. The theory of such flows is commonly designated as geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD), and it applies to both atmospheric and oceanic flows, on Earth as well as on other planets. GFD is now covered, at various levels and to various extents, by several books [36, 60, 72, 107, 120, 134, 164]. The virtue, if any, of this presentation is its brevity and, hopefully, clarity. It fol- lows most closely, and updates, Chapters 1 and 2 in [60]. The intended audience in- cludes the increasing number of mathematicians, physicists and statisticians that are becoming interested in the climate sciences, as well as climate scientists from less traditional areas — such as ecology, glaciology, hydrology, and remote sensing — who wish to acquaint themselves with the large-scale dynamics of the atmosphere and oceans.

The atlas consists of mapped observations and derived quantities. Together they form a full representation of the ocean state and its seasonal cycle. The mapped observations are primarily altimeter data, satellite SST, and Argo profiles. GCM interpolation is used to synthesize these datasets, and the resulting atlas is a fairly close fit to each one of them. For observed quantities especially, the atlas is a practical means to evaluate free-running GCM simulations and to put field experiments into a broader context.

The focus of this class will be on using simplified physical and mathematical models to understand how the ocean and atmo- sphere “adjust” when perturbed by “external” forces. This adjustment is strongly modified by the combined effects of gravity and rotation, and largely manifested through “waves”. A variety of processes fundamental to how the ocean and atmosphere operate can be understood by studying these wave motions, and that is the approach we will take. This class is a prerequisite for more advanced courses in climate studies, atmospheric science, and physical oceanography. Topics to be covered include: Review of the governing equations of mass and momentum conservation; wave kinematics, dispersion, group velocity; surface and internal gravity waves; shallow water theory; stratified fluids and normal mode analysis; waves in rotating fluids: Kelvin, Poincare, and Rossby waves; the Rossby adjustment problem and conservation of potential vortic- ity; the quasi-geostrophic approximation; planetary waves and Charney-Drazin theory; barotropic and baroclinic instability theory. Prerequisites Basic linear algebra and PDEs (at the level of E3102 - Applied Math II); a course in fluid dynamics such as Physics of Fluids (E4200); some knowledge of programming would be useful.

  • Ocean Waves in a Multi-Layer Shallow Water System with Bathymetry Ocean Waves in a Multi-Layer Shallow Water System with Bathymetry
    Ocean waves in a multi-layer shallow water system with bathymetry Ocean waves in a multi-layer shallow water system with bathymetry By Afroja Parvin, A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in the Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Masters of Science McMaster University c Copyright by Afroja Parvin June 22, 2018 McMaster University Masters of Science (2018) Hamilton, Ontario (School of Computational Science and engineering) TITLE: Ocean waves in a multi-layer shallow water system with bathymetry AUTHOR: Afroja Parvin (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Nicholas Kevlahan NUMBER OF PAGES: xiv, 134 ii Abstract Mathematical modeling of ocean waves is based on the formulation and solution of the appropriate equations of continuity, momentum and the choice of proper initial and boundary conditions. Under the influence of gravity, many free surface water waves can be modeled by the shallow water equations (SWE) with the assumption that the horizontal length scale of the wave is much greater than the depth scale and the wave height is much less than the fluid’s mean depth. Furthermore, to describe three dimensional flows in the hydrostatic and Boussinesq limits, the multilayer SWE model is used, where the fluid is discretized horizontally into a set of vertical layers, each having its own height, density, horizontal velocity and geopotential. In this study, we used an explicit staggered finite volume method to solve single and multilayer SWE, with and without density stratification and bathymetry, to understand the dynamic of surface waves and internal waves. We implemented a two-dimensional version of the incompressible DYNAMICO method and compare it with a one-dimensional SWE.

  • How Long Is the Memory of Tropical Ocean Dynamics?*
    3518 JOURNAL OF CLIMATE VOLUME 15 How Long is the Memory of Tropical Ocean Dynamics?* Z. LIU Center for Climatic Research/IES, and Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of WisconsinÐMadison, Madison, Wisconsin 1 March 2002 and 3 July 2002 ABSTRACT Combining classic equatorial wave dynamics and midlatitude wave dynamics, a uni®ed view is proposed to account for the memory of tropical ocean dynamics in terms of oceanic basin modes. It is shown that the dynamic memory of the ocean is bounded by the cross-basin time of planetary waves along the poleward basin boundary. For realistic ocean basins, this memory originates from the mid- and high-latitude processes and is usually at interdecadal timescales. 1. Introduction long, the tropical ocean itself might be able to provide A fundamental issue for our understanding of inter- memory for climate variability on interdecadal and lon- decadal climate variability is the dynamic memory of ger timescales. the ocean.

  • OSTM/Jason–2 Extending the Time Series — Ocean Data from Space
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration OSTM/Jason–2 Extending the Time Series — Ocean Data from Space http://sealevel.jpl.nasa.gov The Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM) is the next-generation ocean al­ timetry mission to extend the time series of sea surface topography measurements begun by TOPEX/Poseidon (1992–2005) and continued by Jason-1 (2001– ). While the TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason-1 missions were collaborations between NASA and the French space agency CNES, OSTM is a four-partner mission with NASA, CNES, the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (Eumetsat), and NOAA. The OSTM satellite (Jason-2), will carry the next genera­ tion instruments including CNES’s Poseidon-3 dual-frequency radar altimeter to measure sea surface height and NASA/JPL’s Advanced Microwave Radiometer (AMR) to remove the effects of water vapor from the altimetry measurement. With these and other technological improvements, OSTM will maintain or surpass Ja­ son-1’s measurement accuracy of 3.3 centimeters. This precise measurement will CNES/Mira Productions help scientists better understand ocean circulation and its effect on global climate. In combination with several other JPL-managed missions, including the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment, which measures Earth’s mass distribution, Advanced Microwave QuikScat, which measures near-surface ocean winds, and Aquarius (to be Radiometer launched in 2009) which measures ocean surface salinity, OSTM will make an Global Positioning (AMR) System Payload important contribution
