Taylor模型可以将海洋中的潮波分解为入射和反射Kelvin波及Poincaré波的叠加，从而可以深入了解潮波传播、反射和叠加等过程在该海域潮波形成中的动力学作用，在这方面它要优于数值模拟和实测调查定性分析等方法。本项目旨在探索将广义Taylor模型应用于中国近海典型海域的潮汐动力学中，通过将这些海域理想化并建立其相应的广义Taylor模型，以便了解这些海域潮波特征的形成机制。本研究拟选择台湾海峡和朝鲜海峡－日本海两个海域作为研究对象，分别建立其潮汐潮流的理论模型，利用模型解析解将其分解出Kelvin波和Poincaré波，从而研究潮汐特征的形成机制。对于台湾海峡，主要关注M2分潮其西岸高值区的形成原因；对于朝鲜海峡－日本海海域则重点研究半日潮和全日潮旋转潮波系统的形成机制问题。

The Taylor’s model can be used to decompose the tidal wave into a superposition of incident and reflected Kelvin waves and Poincaré waves, and can therefore facilitate the understanding the dynamic roles of the propagation, reflection and superposition of tidal waves in the formation of the tidal regime. In this aspect this method is superior to the methods, such as the numerical simulation and the qualitative analysis of observations. This project aims to study the application of the generalized Taylor’s model to the typical sea areas adjacent to China to reveal formation mechanisms of the tidal characteristics in these areas. We plan to select the Taiwan Strait and the Korean Strait-Japan Sea area as the focusing areas. We will establish the theoretical models for tides and tidal currents in these areas, and decompose the tidal waves into incident and reflected Kelvin waves and Poincaré waves to investigate the formation mechanism of tidal characteristics in these areas. For Taiwan Strait, we will forces on the formation cause of high amplitudes of M2 constituent along the west shore of the Strait; For the Korean Strait-Japan Sea area, we will focus on the study of the dynamic mechanism of formation of the semidiurnal and diurnal tidal amphidromic systems.
