Sea level records have been obtained from a dozen tide gauges deployed around the Shetland Islands, and the high-frequency components of each record have been analysed to determine how the amplitudes and periods of seiches vary from place to place. We have found that seiches occur almost everywhere, although with different periods at different locations, and sometimes with amplitudes exceeding several decimetres. Spectral analysis shows that two or more modes of seiching are present at some sites. The study attempts to explain, with the help of a numerical model, why seiches with particular periods are observed at each location, and what forcings are responsible for them. In particular, we have revisited an earlier study of seiches on the east coast of Shetland by Cartwright and Young (Proc R Soc Lond A 338:111–128, 1974) and find no evidence to support the theory that they proposed for their generation. In addition, we have investigated how often and why the largest seiche events occur at Lerwick (with trough-to-crest wave heights of about 1 m), taking advantage of its long sea level record. Seiches (and other types of high-frequency sea level variability) are often ignored in studies of sea level changes and their coastal impacts. And yet they can be large enough to contribute significantly to the extreme sea levels that have major impacts on the coast. Therefore, our Shetland research serves as a case study of the need to have a fuller understanding of the climatology of seiches for the whole world coastline.

设得兰群岛周围的塞奇斯

海平面记录是从设得兰群岛周围部署的十几个潮汐计中获得的,并且分析了每个记录的高频分量,以确定海潮的振幅和周期如何因地而异。我们发现地震几乎无处不在,尽管在不同的地点有不同的周期,有时幅度超过几分米。光谱分析表明,某些地点存在两种或两种以上的捕获模式。该研究试图在数值模型的帮助下解释为什么在每个位置都观察到具有特定周期的地震,以及造成它们的强迫。特别是,我们重新审视了 Cartwright 和 Young 在设得兰群岛东海岸进行的早期研究 (Proc R Soc Lond A 338:111–128, 1974)并没有找到任何证据支持他们为他们这一代提出的理论。此外,我们还调查了勒威克(波谷至波峰的波高约为 1 m)的最大地震事件发生的频率和原因,利用其长期的海平面记录。在研究海平面变化及其沿海影响时,地震(和其他类型的高频海平面变化)常常被忽略。然而,它们可能大到足以导致对海岸产生重大影响的极端海平面。因此,我们的设得兰群岛研究作为案例研究,说明需要更全面地了解整个世界海岸线的气候学。我们利用其长期的海平面记录,调查了在勒威克(波谷至波峰的波高约为 1 m)发生的频率和原因。在研究海平面变化及其沿海影响时,地震(和其他类型的高频海平面变化)常常被忽略。然而,它们可能大到足以导致对海岸产生重大影响的极端海平面。因此,我们的设得兰群岛研究作为案例研究,说明需要更全面地了解整个世界海岸线的气候学。我们利用其长期的海平面记录,调查了在勒威克(波谷至波峰的波高约为 1 m)发生的频率和原因。在研究海平面变化及其沿海影响时,地震(和其他类型的高频海平面变化)常常被忽略。然而,它们可能大到足以导致对海岸产生重大影响的极端海平面。因此,我们的设得兰群岛研究是一个案例研究,需要更全面地了解整个世界海岸线的气候学。然而,它们可能大到足以导致对海岸产生重大影响的极端海平面。因此,我们的设得兰群岛研究作为案例研究,说明需要更全面地了解整个世界海岸线的气候学。然而,它们可能大到足以导致对海岸产生重大影响的极端海平面。因此,我们的设得兰群岛研究作为案例研究,说明需要更全面地了解整个世界海岸线的气候学。
