This study employed a coupled hydrodynamic-sediment model to investigate the hydrodynamic and sediment dynamic responses in the Yellow Sea (YS) to a northward-moving Typhoon Bolaven. The research further elucidates the cross-front transport and underlying mechanisms triggered by the typhoon. The typhoon led substantial resuspension of seabed sediments and rapid changes in bed elevation, a consequence of the extreme waves generated by the typhoon. A cyclonic pattern was identified in both volume and sediment transport within the central and eastern YS. Significant fluctuations in volume and sediment transport were observed near the frontal zone in the western YS during the typhoon's influence. The critical period for cross-front transport was identified as the 24-hour period following the typhoon's passage. The net transport flux of sediment with high concentration from the Subei Coast to the central YS across the front was calculated to be approximately 0.03 Mt, spanning a transport distance of 2∼15 km. This cross-front transport was predominantly propelled by a cross-front flow, which was a result of the seaward barotropic pressure gradient force (PGF) due to the surge near the Subei Coast. The water temperature pattern during summer enlarged the difference of water level difference between the Subei Coast and the central YS, thereby reinforcing the barotropic PGF. This study offers profound insights into the sediment dynamic response to extreme events in a stratified continental shelf sea characterized by front systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19457,"journal":{"name":"Ocean Modelling","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 102541"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143697959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using SMAP satellite sea surface salinity (SSS) observations from 2016 to 2019, this study is the first to identify the high-frequency detachment of LSW (HFDLSW) originating from the CRP, multiple LSWs can detach sequentially from the main body of CRP within 2–3 days. The physical mechanisms behind this phenomenon were explored using the Semi-implicit Cross-scale Hydroscience Integrated System Model (SCHISM), based on an unstructured grid. Wind field analysis reveals that all events of the HFDLSW of LSW occurred during a process where southerly winds gradually intensified and were followed by a period of relaxation. Based on this pattern, a series of numerical sensitivity experiments were conducted to clarify the role of relaxed winds in the HFDLSW. The results indicate that temporal variations in the wind field directly regulate the vertical and horizontal currents in the upwelling region outside the Changjiang River Estuary, dominating the HFDLSW process, with the upwelling reaching its peak intensity before wind relaxation occurs. The resulting upward transport of high salinity water divides the CRP into two parts by the upwelling center, forming the first isolated LSW lens. Subsequently, as the wind field relaxes and the upwelling intensity weakens, the upwelling is still able to detach a small portion of the outer waters within the CRP, forming the second isolated LSW lens. Under the accompanied weak mixing conditions, this second LSW lens can persist and continue to expand outward. Furthermore, horizontal flow deflection towards the main body of the CRP further increases the distance between the first and second isolated LSW lenses, completing the process of HFDLSW.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19457,"journal":{"name":"Ocean Modelling","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 102538"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143684571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysis of the various hydrodynamic factors conducive to the water level maxima along the estuary (i.e. discharge, oceanic tide and atmospheric forcing) shows that this is largely due to the discharge contributing twice as much in 2021 as in a normal year.

Thus, the AOPs are linked to the sea ice IOPs through the ice physical properties, which are used as the input variables for the radiative transfer computations. This physically based approach provides a sophisticated and complete treatment for the radiation transport in sea ice, and facilitates its inclusion in climate models. The new radiative transfer scheme is implemented into the GISS climate model to calculate the sea ice albedo, solar radiation transmission and internal ice absorption. These radiative variables are fed back to the sea ice thermodynamic module to simulate the ice properties, so that radiation, ice properties and thermodynamics are interactively coupled. Model experiments show that the new sea ice radiation physics significantly influence the solar radiation distribution in the atmosphere-sea ice-ocean system, especially the shortwave attenuation in the ice and the transmission into the ocean beneath. The melting at the ice top is highly correlated with the net shortwave radiation at the surface, whereas the basal melting is highly correlated with the shortwave transmission.

Nevertheless, the swell is generally neglected in studies of fetch-limited wind waves despite its everyday presence in most of the world’s seas. During the early stages of wind wave development, ocean surface waves play a crucial role in modulating heat, momentum, and gas transfer between air–sea interfaces. In a measurement campaign conducted in the Gulf of Mexico, continuous measurements with a very high temporal resolution of the directional spectrum of water waves and turbulent Reynolds stresses were obtained using a spar buoy. Events associated with cold fronts were selected. The swell was separated from the local wind-generated waves using the method proposed by Hanson and Phillips (2001). It was observed that the swell dampens young wind-sea energy. In particular, under conditions of swell opposite to the wind. In the equilibrium region, the wind-sea energy is much lower when the swell is present than when it is not. In addition, the swell modifies the energy level of the wind-sea related to the Toba constant, bringing it to a sub-saturated energy level. Swell steepness and swell index are parameters that contribute to modulating short-wave energy. Short waves lose energy by the physical mechanism of dissipation, by the instability of their crest, and therefore break. In a secondary role, the swell reduces the energy extracted from the wind by reducing the surface roughness associated with short waves and less capacity to extract momentum from the atmosphere. It is concluded that the impact of the swell on the wind-sea depends on several factors, such as the swell direction relative to the wind, the swell energy ratio, and the swell steepness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19457,"journal":{"name":"Ocean Modelling","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 102523"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143570574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we report the estimates of IW-induced turbulent dissipation in the South China Sea (SCS), from a tide-included OGCM using an internal wave continuum parameterization scheme (IWCP). The estimation is based on the energy level of internal wave continuum (IWC), by converting the finescale parameterization (FSP) from wavenumber to the frequency domain.
