In a slender water body with a large aspect ratio, the angle of wind waves relative to the direction normal to the shoreline may exceed 45°, resulting in the emergence of cuspate forelands and the segmentation of a lake, because the fetch distance along the principal axis becomes large. The BG model was used to predict the segmentation of a rectangular water body by wind waves when the probability of occurrence of wind direction is given by a circular or elliptic distribution. The changes in wave field and sand transport flux over time were calculated to investigate the wave-sheltering effect of the cuspate forelands. A rectangular lake segmented into circular or elliptic lake, when the probability of occurrence of wind direction is given by a circular or elliptic distribution, respectively.

Adjusting of wind input source term in numerical model WAVEWATCH III for the middle-sized water body is reported. For this purpose, the field experiment on Gorky Reservoir is carried out. Surface waves are measured along with the parameters of the airflow. The measurement of wind speed in close proximity to the water surface is performed. On the basis of the experimental results, the parameterization of the drag coefficient depending on the 10 m wind speed is proposed. This parameterization is used in WAVEWATCH III for the adjusting of the wind input source term within WAM 3 and Tolman and Chalikov parameterizations. The simulation of the surface wind waves within tuned to the conditions of the middle-sized water body WAVEWATCH III is performed using three built-in parameterizations (WAM 3, Tolman and Chalikov, and WAM 4) and adjusted wind input source term parameterizations. Verification of the applicability of the model to the middle-sized reservoir is performed by comparing the simulated data with the results of the field experiment. It is shown that the use of the proposed parameterizationCD(U10)improves the agreement in the significant wave heightHSfrom the field experiment and from the numerical simulation.

Описано применение акустического зондирования для исследования акустических характеристик верхнего слоя моря с использованием широкополосных остронаправленных инвертированных излучателей,устанавливаемых на дно. В основу метода положен принцип регистрации обратного рассеяния и отраженияот поверхности моря акустических импульсов с различной частотой, позволяющий одновременно измерятьрассеяние и поглощение звука и нелинейный акустический параметр морской воды. Многочастотное зондирование позволяет реализовать акустическую спектроскопию пузырьков в приповерхностных слоях моря,проводить оценку газосодержания и получать данные о спектре поверхностного волнения при различных состояниях моря вплоть до штормовых. Применение остронаправленных высокочастотных пучков ультразвукапозволяет разделить информацию о планктоне и пузырьках и определить с высоким пространственным разрешением структуру пузырьковых облаков, образующихся при обрушении ветровых волн, и структуру планктонных сообществ. Участие планктона в волновом движении в толще морской воды позволяет определитьпараметры внутренних волн спектр и распределение по амплитудам в различное время.This paper represents the application of acoustic probingfor the investigation of acoustical properties of the upperlayer of the sea using broadband narrow-beam invertedtransducers that are mounted on the sea bottom. Thismethod is based on the principle of the recording of thebackscattering and reflections of acoustic pulses of differentfrequencies from the sea surface. That simultaneouslyallows measuring scattering and absorption of the soundand non-linear acoustic parameter of seawater. Multifrequencyprobing allows performing acoustic spectroscopy ofbubbles in the near-surface layer of the sea, estimating gascontent, and obtaining data on the spectrum of the surfacewaves in various states of the sea up to a storm. Utilizationof the high-frequency narrow ultrasound beams allows us toseparate the information about plankton and bubbles and todetermine the structure of bubble clouds, created during thebreaking of wind waves, along with the structure of planktoncommunities with high spatial resolution. The participationof plankton in the wave motion in the seawater columnallows determining parameters of internal waves, such asspectrum and distribution of amplitudes at different times.
