Study of sea waves under the action of deep cyclones

Abstract

Data from full-scale observations of the coastal zone during the passage of deep cyclones are analyzed. The time interval when three deep cyclones acted in the region of observations was chosen. The generation of long-wave processes during cyclones with different meteorological parameters and at different directions of approaching the shore was of interest. Data from the Management of Hydrometeorological Service were invoked for compiling maps of weather conditions, and meteorological data obtained from digital meteorological stations, as well as the spectral characteristics of oscillations of the hydrostatic pressure level at observational points, were analyzed. The frequencies of excitation of long-wave oscillations caused by cyclones were determined. Particular attention was paid to the range of periods of swell and wind waves. It was detected that swell waves are excited during the approach of cyclones at uncharacteristic frequencies with their subsequent displacement into their own frequency range.
