  1. Lecture Guidelines for GEOF110Chapter 5 ( 2 hours) Chapter 6 (2 Hours) Ilker Fer Guiding for blackboard presentation. Following Pond & Pickard, Introductory Dynamical Oceanography

  2. Atmosphere Ocean Sketch: Incompressible fluid. Parcel 0 is in hydrostatic equilibrium. Atmosphere: sq Ocean: sq Static Stability “Parcel” or “particle” : we mean a (infinitesimal) fluid sample of uniform T and composition in a continuous environment GEOF110 Guidelines / 3

  3. ENVIRONMENT (W) PARCEL (P) Level 1 z Level 2 z+z Parcel at level 1 is displaced to level 2 with environment in situ properties given on the figure. At level 2, the restoring force on the parcel with volume V is: F= buoyant upthrust – weight Archimedes: Buoyant upthrust = weight of displaced volume (=g2V) GEOF110 Guidelines / 3

  4. GEOF110 Guidelines / 3

  5. E > 0 : STABLE parcel displaced vertically will tend to return to its position. Due to its inertia, overshoot equilibrium position  oscillate (with frequency N) E = 0 : NEUTRAL vertically displaced parcel will remain there E < 0 : UNSTABLE overturning GEOF110 Guidelines / 3

  6. In the upper 1 km of ocean E range between 100-1000x10-8 1/m, largest values at the pycnocline, in the upper a few 100 m. In deep ocean, deep trenches, E is close to 1x10-8 1/m. These are comparable i.e., in situ T increases about (0.1 – 0.2) K / km Use of in-situ density would look very stably stratified in neutral stability: This is OK using eq. of state and an accurate relation for C. compensates for compressibility GEOF110 Guidelines / 3

  7. This is not very convenient, nor practical (e.g. /S taken while holding in situ values of T and P). GEOF110 Guidelines / 3

  8. NOTE: In a stable environment, an inviscid fluid parcel displaced a small distance  vertically will go through simple harmonic oscillations described by GEOF110 Guidelines / 3

  9. T S T S z Double-Diffusive Convection Salt Finger Double Diffusion • Double-diffusion occurs when the density variations are caused by two different components with different rates of diffusion. • In seawater heat and salt have different molecular rates of diffusion: KH / KS 100 Recall- diffusion and mixing is from high concentration of stuff to low concentration, i.e. downgradient. Double-Diffusion gives UPGRADIENT density flux. GEOF110 Guidelines / 3

  10. Equation of Motion (Ch. 6) Acceleration due to resultant force acting per unit mass Forces: Pressure Coriolis Gravity (gravitational acceleration, gf) Other (e.g., tidal, friction) Will derive the terms, and then give the complete equation GEOF110 Guidelines / 3

  11. Using all 3-D: Using δm = rδV = 1/a δV  Derivation of the Pressure Term (Pressure Gradient Force) Pressure force on a surface element δA with outward normal vector n: i.e., directed towards the surface element. The net force δFp in the x-direction: GEOF110 Guidelines / 3

For our use: Absolute frames is fixed  subscript f Relative frames is Earth  subscript e No translation of Earth  ao = 0 velocity relative to Earth  v  = 2 radians per sidereal day = 7.292x10-5 radians/s Conversion from fixed to Earth frames: r = Distance to the centre of Earth Eq. of motion relative to fixed axes: Eq. of motion relative to rotating Earth: GEOF110 Guidelines / 3

  16. r m1 m2 In our case, mass of Earth, mE. Gravitational force on body m, per unit mass:  f Equator Centripetal acceleration : to move a body at distance r from the center of Earth to circulate about Earth’s axis with . Max at poles Min. near eq. Variation about 0.5%  Assume g = 9.8 m/s2 g=f(latitude) Gravitation and Gravity Gravitation is the attractive force between two masses: , directed along the line connecting masses. G : Gravitational constant Acceleration due to gravity: Note, g does not point to Earth’s center of mass due to centripetal acc.  Equatorial bulge.  Earth’s surface not spherical GEOF110 Guidelines / 3

  17. Pressure Other forces/m Coriolis Gravity Equation of motion For convenience, move the coordinate to Earth’s surface. In Cartesian: GEOF110 Guidelines / 3

  18. Coordinate Systems • Cartesian Coordinate System: The standard convention in geophysical fluid mechanics is x is to the east, y is to the north, and z is up. • f-Plane is a Cartesian coordinate system in which the Coriolis parameter is assumed constant. It is useful for describing flow in regions small compared with the radius of the Earth (up to 100 km). • β-plane is a Cartesian coordinate system in which the Coriolis force is assumed to vary linearly with latitude. It is useful for describing flow over areas as large as ocean basins. • Spherical coordinates are used to describe flows that extend over large distances and in numerical calculations of basin and global scale flows.
