Tsunami free oscillations excited by potential local earthquake sources in Bohai Sea, China
The Bohai Sea is the most seismic active region offshore mainland China. Its coastal region is highly populated. The present work proposed a comprehensive scheme for identifying and examining free oscillations with limited number of tide gauges in an irregular semi-enclosed basin. We combined modal...

Summary: | The Bohai Sea is the most seismic active region offshore mainland China. Its coastal region is highly populated. The present work proposed a comprehensive scheme for identifying and examining free oscillations with limited number of tide gauges in an irregular semi-enclosed basin. We combined modal analysis, spectral analysis, and multiple-scenario simulation to investigate tsunami free oscillations in the Bohai Sea Basin and three local bays including Liaodong Bay, Bohai Bay, and Laizhou Bay. The Bohai Sea had broadband periods of free oscillations ranging from 228 to 30 min. There existed both along-shore and cross-shore oscillations in most eigenmodes. The ultra-long dominant periods above 50 min were attributed to the shallow water depth ( |
