The results obtained during the specialized experiments from an oceanographic platform in the Black Sea are given. The registration of the whitecaps was carried out based on the video recordings of the sea surface. The surface waves’ characteristics were measured and the meteorological information was recorded simultaneously with the video recordings. It is shown that the distribution of the whitecaps’ lifetime is well described by an exponential law. It was found that the ratio of the lifetime of an individual whitecap to the period of the breaking wave is 0.3. The distributions of the above-mentioned ratio are similar for different wind and wave conditions. It is indicated that the generation of whitecaps occurs mainly in the region of the crest of a long wave with a shift to its front slope on average by 9.6 of the phase of the long wave. The whitecap having arisen at the leading edge shifts to the trailing edge of the long wave during its lifetime, so that the phase difference between the breaking initiation and the maximum of the surface fraction covered by the whitecaps equals 21.6.","PeriodicalId":218146,"journal":{"name":"Fundamental and Applied Hydrophysics","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115940577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of the models are intended for study of the applied and engineering problems. It is assumed that the main model is written in the curvilinear coordinate system where the height is counted off from wave surface. In the two-dimensional periodic formulation, when using a conformal system, the problem is reduced to the system of one-dimensional equations that can be easily solved using Fourier-transform method. For three-dimensional waves such simplifications do not exist, thus, the vertical velocity on the surface is calculated by solving a three-dimensional Poisson equation or using a surface integral method. An approximate scheme based on the two-dimensional equations is considered. The scheme allows reproducing the statistical mode of waves with high accuracy consistent with the similar results obtained from the accurate three-dimensional model.","PeriodicalId":218146,"journal":{"name":"Fundamental and Applied Hydrophysics","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128698125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the Barents Sea is one of the Arctic seas, it is never completely covered with ice. One of the parameters characterizing the change in the ice regime is the date of ice retreat (DOR). The study is based on ice concentration data from the NOAA / NSIDC Climate Data Record (CDR) from 1979 to 2019 and the GLORYS12V1 ocean reanalysis data from 1993 to 2019. The analysis of the spatial and temporal variability of DOR for the Barents Sea using the HDBSCAN cluster analysis method made it possible to identify areas (clusters) with the synchronous dynamics of DOR. A number of the identified areas are located on the path of the Atlantic waters (AW) in the Barents Sea, which made it possible to relate the revealed temporal variability of the DOR to the variability of the AW transport across the western boundary of the sea. Over the entire Barents Sea, after 2003, there has been a steady trend in the timing of seasonal ice removal to earlier ones. At the same time, each of the six regions identified has its own dynamics and rate of changes in DOR. A noticeable effect of the advective heat flux across the western boundary of the Barents Sea on the DOR was revealed for areas in the central and eastern parts of the sea. At the same time, for different regions, the maximum correlation coefficient is observed at different time lags (from 0 to 6 months). The value of the time lag indirectly indicates the time the thermal signal travels the distance from the western boundary of the sea to the corresponding region. The continuing trend towards an increase in the duration of the ice–free season in the Barents Sea is one of the manifestations of the growing “Atlantification” of the East Atlantic sector of the Arctic Ocean which opens up new prospects for socio–economic activity in this Arctic region.","PeriodicalId":218146,"journal":{"name":"Fundamental and Applied Hydrophysics","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132712474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The asymptotic behavior of Rossby waves in the ocean interacting with a shear stationary flow is considered. It is shown that there is a qualitative difference between the problems for the zonal and non-zonal background flow. Whereas only one critical layer arises for a zonal flow, then several critical layers can exist for a non-zonal flow. It is established that the integrated ray equations of Hamilton are equivalent to the asymptotic behavior of the Cauchy problem solution. Explicit analytical solutions are obtained for the tracks of Rossby waves as a function of time and initial parameters of the wave disturbance, as well as the magnitude of the shear and angle of inclination of the flow to the zonal direction. On the example of Rossby waves on a shear flow, the ray equations of Hamilton are analytically integrated. The obtained explicit expressions make it possible to calculate in real-time the Rossby wave tracks for any initial wave direction and any shear current inclination angle. It is shown qualitatively that these tracks for a non-zonal flow are strongly anisotropic.\u0000","PeriodicalId":218146,"journal":{"name":"Fundamental and Applied Hydrophysics","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127613657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
