Tidal current amphidromic system in semi-enclosed basins

Dynamics of a Tidal Current System in a Marginal Sea: A Case Study of the Yellow Sea, China

“…Specifically, the CAP pairs locate between two adjacent EAPs (or between the EAP and the open boundary). The positions of the CAPs are consistent with the analytical study of Xia et al (1995) on the tidal current amphidromic system. Xia et al (1995) showed that the two points of a CAP pair appear close to each other in a semi-enclosed rectangular basin without consideration of friction.…”

Xia et al (1995) showed that the two points of a CAP pair appear close to each other in a semi-enclosed rectangular basin without consideration of friction. Since the friction term was included in the present study, different degrees of separation of the CAP pairs were observed (Figure 8b).…”

“…For tidal current, there are five current amphidromic points (CAPs) in the Yellow Sea, with one in the North Yellow Sea and the other four in the South Yellow Sea. For more background information on CAPs as well as the relation between CAPs and EAPs, see Xia et al (1995) and Carbajal (1997). The results of the schematized model were comparable to the previous studies in terms of positions of EAP and CAPs in the South Yellow Sea (details refer to Supplementary Material).…”

“…3a, we display the horizontal distribution of the ellipticity e t for the surface layer, obtained in the barotropic simulation C1 of the M 2 tide. This pattern of alternated areas of positive and negative (shaded zones) ellipticity shows some similarities to other barotropic simulations of the M 2 tide in the whole North Sea (Zongwan et al 1995). However, there are several relevant differences.…”

“…A series of current amphidromic points (CAP) occur along the eastern and southern coasts. The CAPs located along the eastern coast also appear in calculation where the resolution of the grid spacing is significantly coarser (Zongwan et al 1995). CAPs are directly related to maxima or minima values of ellipticity, i.e.…”
