Resumen
To study the features of resonant oscillations in the water column of the Peter the Great Gulf of the Sea of Japan, in situ measurements were carried out on its shelf, combined with numerical simulation of these processes. The observational data were obtained from autonomous bottom pressure gauges in Novik Bay in the winter of 2016. In the calculations, a spectral-difference model was used, modified to account for the ice cover, and implemented on an irregular triangular grid. The atmospheric forcing used in the model had periods from 15 to 55 min. As a result, characteristic series of spatio-temporal parameters for resonant oscillations of the studied water area were determined. The locations of the peaks on the simulated resonance curves correspond to the locations of well-defined maxima of the energy spectrum according to in situ measurements, hence indicating the possibility of a significant resonant amplification of level fluctuations by wave and periodic wind effects. The novelty of this study is inclusion of the winter period, when the surface of the bay is partially covered with ice.
