Significant wave height (SWH) stems from a combination of locally generated “wind-sea” and remotely generated “swell” waves. In the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, wave heights typically undergo a sinusoidal annual cycle, with larger SWH in winter in response to seasonal changes in high-latitude storm patterns that generate equatorward propagating swell. However, some locations deviate from this hemispheric-scale seasonal pattern in SWH. For example, in the California coastal region, local wind events occur in boreal spring and summer, leading to a wind speed (WSP) annual cycle with a distinct maximum in boreal spring and a corresponding local response in SWH. Here ocean regions with a WSP annual cycle reaching a maximum in late spring, summer, or early fall are designated as seasonal wind anomaly regions (SWARs). Intra-annual variability of surface gravity waves is analyzed globally using two decades of satellite-derived SWH and WSP data. The phasing of the WSP annual cycle is used as a metric to identify SWARs. Global maps of probability of swell based on wave age confirm that during the spring and summer months, locally forced waves are statistically more likely in SWARs than in surrounding regions. The magnitude of the deviation in the SWH annual cycle is determined by the exposure to swell and characteristics of the wave field within the region. Local winds have a more identifiable impact on Northern Hemisphere SWARs than on Southern Hemisphere SWARs due to the larger seasonality of Northern Hemisphere winds.

海洋中显着波高的季节性周期:局部与远程强迫

有效波高 (SWH) 源于本地产生的“风-海”和远程产生的“涌浪”波的组合。在北半球和南半球,波高通常经历一个正弦年周期,冬季具有更大的 SWH,以响应高纬度风暴模式的季节性变化,从而产生向赤道传播的膨胀。然而,SWH 中的一些位置偏离了这种半球尺度的季节性模式。例如,在加利福尼亚沿海地区,局部风事件发生在北方春季和夏季,导致风速 (WSP) 年循环在北方春季具有明显的最大值,而在 SWH 中相应的局部响应。在这里,WSP 年周期在春末、夏季或初秋达到最大值的海洋区域被指定为季节性风异常区 (SWAR)。使用 20 年卫星衍生的 SWH 和 WSP 数据在全球范围内分析表面重力波的年内变化。WSP 年度周期的分阶段用作识别 SWAR 的指标。基于波龄的全球涌浪概率图证实,在春季和夏季月份,在统计上,SWARs 中的局部强迫波浪比周边地区更可能发生。SWH 年周期偏差的大小由该区域内的涌浪暴露和波场特征决定。由于北半球风的季节性较大,局地风对北半球 SWAR 的影响比对南半球 SWAR 的影响更明显。WSP 年度周期的分阶段用作识别 SWAR 的指标。基于波龄的全球涌浪概率图证实,在春季和夏季月份,在统计上,SWARs 中的局部强迫波浪比周边地区更可能发生。SWH 年周期偏差的大小由该区域内的涌浪暴露和波场特征决定。由于北半球风的季节性较大,局地风对北半球 SWAR 的影响比对南半球 SWAR 的影响更明显。WSP 年度周期的分阶段用作识别 SWAR 的指标。基于波龄的全球涌浪概率图证实,在春季和夏季月份,在统计上,SWARs 中的局部强迫波浪比周边地区更可能发生。SWH 年周期偏差的大小由该区域内的涌浪暴露和波场特征决定。由于北半球风的季节性较大,局地风对北半球 SWAR 的影响比对南半球 SWAR 的影响更明显。SWH 年周期偏差的大小由该区域内的涌浪暴露和波场特征决定。由于北半球风的季节性较大,局地风对北半球 SWAR 的影响比对南半球 SWAR 的影响更明显。SWH 年周期偏差的大小由该区域内的涌浪暴露和波场特征决定。由于北半球风的季节性较大,局地风对北半球 SWAR 的影响比对南半球 SWAR 的影响更明显。
