The generation and propagation of long waves due to atmospheric-pressure variation have been numerically simulated, where the atmospheric-pressure waves are assumed to travel in the eastern direction over East Chine Sea. The wave height of long waves is larger as the moving velocity of the recovery point of water surface pressed by the atmospheric pressure is close to the long-wave celerity. Before attenuation of the harbor oscillation in Urauchi Bay, Kamikoshiki Island, the incidence of long waves can continue because of the oscillation system generated between the main island of Kyushu and Okinawa Trough. The pressure profiles of atmospheric-pressure waves supposed to have concerned the large harbor oscillation in Urauchi Bay from 2009 to 2010 are classified into four patterns based on the Grid Point Value pressure data. The incident long waves causing the largest harbor oscillation in Urauchi Bay on Feb. 25, 2009 has been simulated with the estimated pressure-profile pattern, such that the largest harbor oscillation in Urauchi Bay should occur due to the atmospheric-pressure waves.

abstract The performance of long-period seismographs is often seriously degraded by atmospheric pressure variation; the problem is particularly severe at periods greater than 20 sec. The pressure variations associated with wind-generated turbulence and acoustic waves are sufficient to deform the surface of the Earth, thus adding to the background noise level recorded by the seismometer. If microbarographs are operated together with the seismograph system, a large percentage of the atmospherically generated noise can be eliminated by the use of optimum filters. The filters are designed based on the least-mean-squares criterion, with the seismograph time trace as the desired output and the microbarographs as the inputs. Single-channel filters, using only one microbarograph, located at the seismometer vault are used to attenuate wind-generated noise. In order to attenuate the noise on windless days from other pressure sources, multichannel filtering is usually necessary and therefore an array of microbarographs is required. The filters used to predict the wind-generated noise are shown to be stable despite the complicated source. The performance of the multichannel varies widely depending on the structure of pressure variations predominating in the atmosphere.
