Numerical simulation of tides in the World Ocean: 1. Parameterization of the shelf effects

Two methods of shelf parameterization are proposed: one of the local and the other of the integral type. The paper gives the results of testing these methods using a calculation of tides according to Webb's (1976) and von Trepka's (1967) model ocean as an example. The proposed methods of s...

Description
Summary:Two methods of shelf parameterization are proposed: one of the local and the other of the integral type. The paper gives the results of testing these methods using a calculation of tides according to Webb's (1976) and von Trepka's (1967) model ocean as an example. The proposed methods of shelf effect parameterization provide a quite acceptable accuracy of simulation of semi-diurnal tides in the open ocean, but in some cases they underestimate the tidal energy dissipation on the shelf. The latter circumstance is caused by the ignored effect of edge waves with a longitudinal scale of the order of the shelf width.
