Numerical Simulation of Tides and Tidal Currents in Jiangsu Offshore Areas, China

摘要

A numerical model suitable for tides and tidal currents forecast inrnJiangsu offshore areas, China, which includes M2, S2, K1, and O1 tidalrnconstituents, is developed based on the Estuarine and Coastal OceanrnModel with semi-implicit scheme (ECOM-si). Comparing therncomputed values with those of 6 tidal observatories and 12 currentrnstations, the results also show a good agreement.Based on these results,rnthe isoamplitude and the cotidal lines of the main constituents M2 andrnK1 are given. It is found that semi-diurnal tide constituents M2 hasrntide-free point and diurnal tide constituents K1 has no tide-free point inrnthis area.
