When a steady solution is calculated by the modi ed Marquardt method keeping the zonal mean velocity constant as a control parameter, the characteristic of the solution changes at a velocity. The velocity coincides with a phase speed of a wave whose wavenumber is higher than that of the bottom topography. For smaller than this critical velocity, a stable quasi-linear solution which is similar to the linear solution exists. For larger than the critical velocity, three solutions whose form drag is very large exist which extend from the stable quasi-linear solution. It is inferred from the linear solution that these changes of the solution is due to the resonance of higher modes than that of the bottom topography. It is also found that the resonant velocity of the mode whose wavenumber is the same as the bottom topography has no e ect on these solutions. When the quiescent uid is accelerated by a constant wind stress, the acceleration stops around the critical velocity for wide range of the wind stress. If the wind stress is too large for the acceleration to stop there, the zonal current speed continues to increase in nitely. It is implied that the zonal velocity of equilibrium is mainly determined not by the wind stress but by the amplitude of the bottom topography and the viscosity coe cient. This implies that the zonal mean velocity does not change very much when the winds change.iii, 68 p.北海道大学. 博士(地球環境科学)Hokkaido University2004-04Thesis or Dissertationapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/47708info:doi/10.14943/doctoral.k6986https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/47708/1/uchimoto.pdf2004-06-30engpublisher10101甲第6986号2004-06-30博士(地球環境科学)北海道大学
