NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF SEA SURFACE DIRECTIONAL WAVE SPECTRA UNDER TYPHOON WIND FORCING

Numercial simulation of sea surface directional wave spectra under typhoon wind forcing in the South China Sea （SCS） was carreid out using the WAVEWATCH-Ⅲ wave model. The simulation was run for 210 h until the Typhoon Damrey （2005） approached Vietnam. The simulated data were compared with buoy observations, which were obtained in the northwest sea area of Hainan Island. The results show that the significant wave height, wave direction, wave length and frequency spetra agree well with buoy observations. The spatial characteristics of the signifciant wave height, mean wave period, mean wave length, wave age and directional spectra depend on the relative position from the typhoon center. Also, the misalignment between local wind and wave directions were investigated.     

Evaluation of numerical wave model for typhoon wave simulation in South China Sea

The simulating waves nearshore (SWAN) model has typically been designed for wave simulations in near-shore regions. In this study, the model's applicability to the simulation of typhoon waves in the South China Sea (SCS) was evaluated. A blended wind field, consisting of an interior domain based on Fujita's model and an exterior domain based on Takahashi's model, was used as the driving wind field. The waves driven by Typhoon Kai-tak over the SCS that occurred in 2012 were selected for the numerical simulation research. Sensitivity analyses of time step, grid resolution, and angle resolution were performed in order to obtain optimal model settings. Through sensitivity analyses, it can be found that the time step has a large influence on the results, while grid resolution and angle resolution have a little effect on the results.     

南海珊瑚岛礁水域浅层地震反射波勘探

在南海某珊瑚岛礁的工程勘察中,采用快速高效的浅层水域地震反射波勘探方法配合钻探进行联合勘察,将钻孔的“点”与物探的“线”结合起来,相互对比、佐证,进行综合解释,查明了岛礁珊瑚松散沉积物的厚度、基岩起伏形态及大范围内的连续地质剖面。勘探结果为岛礁岩土工程性状调查、水文地质调查以及工程建设提供了可靠的地质依据和设计参数,取得了理想的效果。水域地震反射波对岛礁的不同地貌单元内礁坪、向海坡、潟湖、外海的沉积层界面反映清晰,但在外礁坪区域由于现代海滩岩的发育,声波较难穿透。     

基于中国山洪水文模型的山洪灾害预警指标实时动态分析

山洪灾害具有突发性强、成灾快、破坏力大、人员伤亡多等特点,被公认为是世界上危害最大的自然灾害之一。为提高山洪灾害预报预警精度,综合考虑小流域暴雨洪水特征、前期降雨、上游产汇流过程以及土壤湿度动态变化等因素的影响,基于中国山洪水文模型(CNFF)模型分析法和设计暴雨洪水实时反算法,提出了基于中国山洪水文模型的小流域防灾对象预警指标实时动态分析方法,分析了防灾对象不同土湿和典型预警时段长的临界雨量动态变化过程。以江西省东河流域为例,评估了动态预警指标的精度。研究表明：(1)中国山洪水文模型在研究区具有较好的适用性,率定期和验证期的平均径流深相对误差和洪峰流量相对误差均在15%以内,平均峰现时间误差在1.5 h以内,平均Nash-Sutcliffe效率系数分别为0.76和0.8,场次雨洪模拟合格率在90%以上。(2)以东河流域南泊村典型灾害事件为例评估了动态预警指标应用效果,基于动态雨量预警指标的实时动态分析结果相比原山洪灾害调查评价中静态预警指标结果提前1~2 h预警,有效延长了预警预见期。研究成果可为小流域山洪灾害预警提供理论支撑和技术支持。
