摘要
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt">pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Research on ocean internal waves by seismic oceanography is a frontier issue concerned by marine geophysicists and physical oceanographers. The paper applied Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) method of a new time-frequency analysis tool- Hilbert-Huang transform for studying vertical displacement data of internal waves in the northeastern pace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />place w:st="on">South China Seaplace> from seismic data and obtained new results. It showed that the internal waves above the central place w:st="on">pe w:st="on">basinpe> of South China Seaplace> consist of components of different wavelength of around 1.2, 2.5, 4, pace="True" Negative="False" NumberType="1" TCSC="0">12.5 km. The internal waves of the wavelength of 1.2 and pace="True" Negative="False" NumberType="1" TCSC="0">2.5 km are coupled between the upper and the lower part within the depth range of 200~pace="True" Negative="False" NumberType="1" TCSC="0">1050 m, while the separated interface located at 600~pace="True" Negative="False" NumberType="1" TCSC="0">700 m exists for the internal waves of the wavelength of around 4 and pace="True" Negative="False" NumberType="1" TCSC="0">12.5 km and the phase change is about 90° between the upper and the lower part, which infers oblique propagation of low wave-number internal waves energy. It inferred there is nice potential application of EMD method in seismic oceanography research.pt">pace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />p>p>
