Abstract

Characteristics of barotropic seiche oscillations of the middle part of the Peter the Great gulf are considered with the use of a spectral-finite difference model. The model is based on a linearized system of shallow water equations. Difference approximation is carried out on an irregular triangular spatial grid. The numerical method involves solving the eigenvalue problem and is able to directly obtain a set of frequencies and the corresponding shapes of seiche oscillations. The grid computational domain covers the Amurskiy bay and the Ussuriyskiy bay. The Zolotoy Rog bay and the Alekseeva bay are described in more detail on the grid. The spatial-temporal characteristics of a number of seiche oscillations corresponding to well-defined peaks of the energy spectrum of the sea level data from the “Vladivostok” station of the Russian tsunami warning service are calculated and presented. The results of calculations for the Alekseeva bay are compared to the data of natural measurements and to the solution to the Cauchy problem.
