Abstract:Using a global spectral model of the quasi-geostrophic barotropic vorticity equation, numerical study is made of the quasi-resonance interaction of three planetary waves.With two quasi-resonance wavevectors selected as 1)K1+K2+K3=0,ω1+ω2+ω3=Δω; 2)k1+k2+k3=0, l1+l2+l3=Δl,ω1+ω2+ω3=0,model integrations are run for 90 days,separately,leading to the results of interest as follows:1)stronger wave-wave interplay is found among the three waves of zonal wavenumber k=1,2,3; 2)due to the interactions,the study waves exhibit about 20-45-day low-frequency oscillations and it is of note that all of the waves display quasi-biweekly oscillations; 3)the mentioned low-frequency periods relate to the initial amplitude of the waves under investigation.
