Abstract

The effects of internal waves on dynamics of hypoxic waters were investigated by numerical simulation by means of a hydrostatic-ecosystem coupled numerical model for Lake Biwa. The numerical model consists of hydrostatic and ecosystem submodels. Numerical simulation was carried out for a period during April 2007 and March 2008, after preliminary numerical simulation for three years. As a result, the numerical model could capture the vertical profiles of the observed water quality. During September 30 and October 21 in 2007, the major internal waves were Kelvin and Poincare waves, the periods of which were 1.63 or 1.77 days and 0.48 days, respectively. Hypoxic waters appeared in bottom boundary layer around October and were still when thermocline locates in upper layer. During late autumn and winter seasons, differences in density between upper and lower layers were reduced and the amplitude of internal waves increased. Hypoxic waters began to move under the effects of internal waves. Movement of hypoxic waters will diminish the habitat for aquatic organisms in deeper waters.

빈산소 수체 거동에 미치는 내부파의 영향을 유체정역학-생태계 결합 모델을 기반으로 하는 수치해석을 이용하여 일본 비와호에 적용하여 고찰하였다. 수치모델은 유체정역학 부 모델과 생태계 부 모델로 이루어져 있고, 3년간의 예비 수치모사를 수행한 후 2007년 4월에서 2008년 3월까지의 기간에 대해 본 수치해석이 이루어졌다. 수치해석의 결과는 계측된 수질의 수직적 구조를 재현하였고, 2007년 9월 30일에서 10월 21일까지의 기간에 나타난 주된 내부파는 켈빈파와 포앙카레파로서 그 주기는 각각 1.63 또는 1.77일이고 0.48일 이었다. 10월 중에 나타난 저층의 빈산소 수체는 상층에 수온약층이 형성된 기간 동안 유지되었다. 늦가을에서 겨울 동안은 수체의 상부와 하부간의 밀도차이가 줄어들고 내부파의 진폭은 증가된다. 빈산소 수체가 내부파의 영향으로 이동을 시작하게 되고, 이 빈산소 수체의 이동으로 깊은 수심의 수생생물 서식지가 감소하게 된다.
