Among them, impulse waves generated by landslides can represent a significant threat. Therefore, predicting and measuring the generation of such waves is essential. In this study, the phenomenon is modeled by a 2D-experimental setup using a steady non-uniform granular flow along a slope as a forcing wave generator. The present device provides a continuous supply of grains to avoid finite volume effects, as the part of the landslide actually involved in the wave generation strongly depends on the configuration and is not necessarily available in geophysical events. This system consists of an energy transfer between the granular flow and the wave generation which is characterized by a Froude number. It is found that the latter cannot be defined only based on the dry flow properties to characterize the wave. In particular, the dynamics underwater influence wave generation during a finite time. Accordingly, the present study shows that the wave maximum amplitude is governed by a newly defined Froude number, based on both dry and underwater granular flow properties. Moreover, it is shown that the granular deposit, specifically its runout, can be thought as a proxy of the immersed granular dynamics as long as the impact properties are still considered.</p>","PeriodicalId":54340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans","volume":"129 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JC021145","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142273209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To elucidate the transformations over the ridge, we focus on one of its largest seamounts, Discovery Bank, which has previously been observed as hosting a stratified Taylor column that retains water for months to years, during which time water masses are entrained from north and south of the Weddell Front and steadily mixed. Data from ship-deployed sensors and autonomous platforms are analyzed to quantify and understand the diapycnal mixing, heat fluxes and water mass transformations over the bank. Ocean glider and free-profiling drifting float data show that the mid-depth temperature maximum of the Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) is eroded between the northern and southern sides of the bank, while diapycnal diffusivity is enhanced by up to an order-of-magnitude over its steeply sloping portions. This is accompanied by heat fluxes from the CDW layer being increased by up to a factor of six, which may contribute to a reduction in mid-depth stratification.

In the daytime, solar heating warmed and stabilized the ML, and the thickness of the ML can be well characterized by the Zilitinkevich scale as noted in previous studies. By contrast, in the nighttime the ML was deepened by convective turbulence generated by surface cooling. Guided by these observations, we have derived a simple scaling for the nighttime deepening of the ML by simplifying the classic Kraus-Turner type model. We show that the variation of the ML depth can be scaled by a function of the wind speed, air-sea heat flux and the temporal variation of the sea surface temperature, all of which are observable variables at the sea surface.

Coincidentally, suspended sediment concentrations increased drastically from ∼0.1 g/l to ∼1–5 g/l at the surface and the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) moved upstream. In this study we, for the first time, brought together a century of observations of estuary bed level, tidal amplitude, and sediment concentration to demonstrate these large changes. Next, we analyzed a minimal set of physical mechanisms that explain the dramatic increase in sediment concentration. To this end, we used the iFlow model representing dynamic equilibrium conditions in the Loire. Novel in the model is that it dynamically resolves salt stratification and corresponding damping of turbulence. For conditions representing the year 2000, high sediment concentrations were found with satisfactory correspondence to observations. Low sediment concentrations were found when using the year 1900 bed level but keeping all other model parameters the same. Varying the bed level gradually between these two extremes, the equilibrium solution suddenly increases for intermediate bed level, constituting an abrupt regime shift. Robustness of this result was established in an extensive sensitivity study featuring 13,200 model experiments. The regime shift is enabled by a feedback between increasing sediment concentration, reducing turbulence due to sediment and salt stratification, and increasing sediment importing capacity of the estuary. The essential sediment importing mechanisms in this feedback are related to the tidal asymmetry and gravitational circulation. This is the first time gravitational circulation and salt stratification are shown to be important factors in a transition to hyperturbidity.</p>","PeriodicalId":54340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans","volume":"129 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2023JC020273","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142273063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary objective was to enhance the understanding of wave-backwash interactions and the implications for observed morphodynamics. Two simulation cases were carried out to elucidate key processes of wave-backwash interactions across two distinct stages: berm erosion and sandbar formation, during the early portion of a modeled storm. The major difference between the two cases was the bathymetry: one featuring a berm without a sandbar (Case I), and the other, featuring a sandbar without a berm (Case II) at similar water depth. Good agreement (overall Willmott's index of agreement greater than 0.8) between simulations and measured data in free surface elevation, wave spectrum, and flow velocities validated the model skill. The findings indicated that the bottom shear stress, represented by the Shields parameter, was significant in both cases, potentially contributing substantial sediment transport. Notably, the occurrence of intense wave-backwash interactions were more frequent in the absence of a sandbar. These intense wave-backwash interactions resulted in a pronounced horizontal pressure gradient, quantified by high Sleath parameters, exceeding the criteria for momentary bed failure. Additionally, a more vigorous turbulence-bed interaction, characterized by near-bed turbulent kinetic energy, was observed in the case lacking a sandbar, potentially augmenting sediment suspension.

However, to date seasonal BTA forecast efforts have been limited and sources of BTA predictability largely undiagnosed. Here, an empirical model called a Linear Inverse Model (LIM), constructed from a high-resolution ocean reanalysis, is developed to predict North American West Coast BTAs and diagnose sources of predictive skill. The LIM is considerably more skillful than damped persistence, particularly in winter, with anomaly correlation (AC) skill values of 0.6 at 6-month lead. Analysis of the LIM's dynamics shows that elevated BTA forecast skill is linked to developing El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, driving predicted BTA responses whose peaks occur at longer leads with increasing latitude. Weaker ENSO-related signals in the northern coastal region still yield high BTA skill because noise there is also weaker. Likewise, the LIM's forecast signal-to-noise ratio is highest for bathymetry depths of ∼50–150 m, maximizing forecast skill there. Together, these predictive components lead to “forecasts of opportunity” when LIM anticipates especially high prediction skill. For the top 20% of events identified by the LIM as the forecasts of opportunity, 6-month lead BTA hindcasts have AC skill averaging 0.7, while the remaining 80% hindcasts have mean skill of only 0.4, suggesting that the LIM can leverage ENSO-related predictability of BTA to produce skillful forecasts.</p>","PeriodicalId":54340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans","volume":"129 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2023JC020504","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142275030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cooling ultimately leads to an average sea ice thickening of 3.5 cm and, together with associated changes to circulation, reduces basal melting of Amundsen Sea ice shelves by approximately 7% relative to the model scenario with no phytoplankton bloom.</p>","PeriodicalId":54340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans","volume":"129 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JC021121","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142244551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
