Continuous seiche in bays and harbors
Article (5.994Mb)Abstract
Seiches are often considered a transitory phenomenon wherein large amplitude water
level oscillations are excited by a geophysical event, eventually dissipating some time
after the event. However, continuous small-amplitude seiches have recently been recognized presenting a question as to the origin of continuous forcing. We examine 6
bays around the Pacific where continuous seiches are evident, and based on spectral,
modal and kinematic analysis suggest that tidally-forced shelf-resonances are a primary
driver of continuous seiches.
