2021年10月南海北部上层细结构对台风“圆规”的响应分析

基于水下滑翔机观测资料,分析了2021年10月南海北部上层海洋细结构强度及类型对台风“圆规”的响应特征。在细结构强度响应方面,台风“圆规”影响后,次表层温度降低,盐度升高,最大降温幅度可达3 ℃,温跃层中上部细结构显著增强。“圆规”影响期间温度、盐度细结构强度最大值深度均约为50 dbar,温度、盐度细结构强度最大值在台风过境后分别移至温跃层上部和中部。结果表明,“圆规”通过加强海洋上层混合促进了“共变型”细结构的生成。台风中心过境时,Ekman抽吸引起的上升流对温跃层起到了水团入侵的效果,从而引起了“侵入型”细结构瞬时增多;台风过境后,“侵入型”细结构强度迅速衰减,“共变型”细结构在温跃层内减弱,而在200-400 dbar深度范围内继续加强,表示该层海水混合继续加强。由此表明,南海北部上层细结构的强度和类型变化对台风“圆规”响应显著。     

基于经验正交函数分解的热带印度洋海温研究

利用1945—2011年的月平均Ishii海水温度数据,采用统计方法和经验正交函数分解(EOF)方法,对热带印度洋海温的时空分布特征进行研究。结果表明:海水温度方差最大值位于100 m深度,温度跃层处于50~150 m之间,偶极子现象存在于表层至150 m深度,其位置和强度随深度逐渐变化,在100 m深度偶极子现象达到最强。50 m深度层是偶极子现象转变的关键层,50 m之上由第二模态体现为偶极子现象;50 m之下则为第一模态。     

台湾东北海域冷涡-上升流系统冬、夏季温度三维结构

利用美国国家海洋大气管理局(NOAA)2007年发布的全球海域温度多年月平均数据库资料(WOA 05),研发计算机数值分析和图形可视技术,对台湾东北海域冬、夏季的温度分布进行数值分析,展示台湾东北海域冷涡-上升流系统冬、夏季温度分布的三维结构,分析黑潮、台湾暖流以及东海陆架水的影响,得出以下结论.(1) 夏季(8月)冷涡主要存在于13-100m深度以及138-150m深度;冬季(2月)冷涡主要存在于109-150m深度之间.(2)夏季(8月)上升流的拱形结构从表层向下都存在,其中由于台湾暖流与东海陆架底层水的影响,造成在深度100-138m之间的等温线不闭合;冬季(2月)上升流的拱形结构主要存在于100m水深以下.(3)在黑潮向西北方向入侵东海陆架的区域,冷涡-上升流系统消失.在冷涡-上升流系统作用的区域,黑潮向东北方向入侵东海陆架的程度越强,冷涡-上升流系统的势力也越强.     

南海北部浮游生态系统要素季节变化的模拟研究

本文基于南海SEATS站的观测资料,利用垂直一维海洋生态系统动力学模式(MEM-1D)模拟了南海北部生态要素垂直结构的季节变化。结果表明,南海北部表层Chla浓度具有明显的季节变化特征,夏季呈现低值(<0.05 mg·m-3),冬季呈现高值,12月为0.38 mg·m-3。春季,风速相对变小,垂直混合变弱,次表层Chla浓度极大值现象形成(80~100 m),并可一直持续到10月末。冬季,海表温度降低,东北季风爆发,垂直混合增强,出现表层水华现象。浮游动物和细菌的垂直结构相似,冬季上层水体中浮游动物和细菌出现最大值,分别为13 mg·m-3和18 mg·m-3。3~10月细菌(12 mg·m-3)同浮游动物(14 mg·m-3)一样出现次表层最大值,其存在深度与浮游动物相似。     

风浪及地形对渤、黄海夏季温度垂直结构的影响

通过对所收集到历史海温实测资料的分析,概括了夏季渤、黄海温度结构的特点.在此基础上结合最新的卫星风场、有效波高场和地形资料,分析了风浪及地形对温度结构的影响.结果表明,在开阔的海域,夏季渤、黄海区较大的有效波高都出现在风区较长的地方,而有效波高的大小直接影响着上层海水的混合.渤海中部的双冷核结构和黄海中部温度的台状结构是波浪在海洋表层造成的混合与地形导致的潮汐混合共同作用的结果.夏季在没有明显上升流和平流的地方,浅水处表层温度与水深的关系满足热惯性机制,有温跃层产生的深水处水深仍然能影响到上混合层的深度.     

变性绕极深层水入侵时南极普里兹湾湍流混合特征研究

基于中国第28、29和31次南极科学考察中的CTD数据,利用Thorpe尺度方法计算了普里兹湾及其附近海域湍动能耗散率,分析了其分布特征,并对当地的水团结构进行研究。结果表明,普里兹湾及其附近海域中,前两个航次观测中次表层湍动能耗散率强度在陆架坡折区域达到最大。在水团分布方面,在第28和29航次中均观测到了变性绕极深层水陆架入侵现象,水团分别向上涌升至海表以下100 m和200 m深度,向南均可达到67.5°S处。普里兹湾陆架坡折区域次表层湍动能耗散率强度分布与当地水团结构存在良好对应关系。研究认为变性绕极深层水入侵陆架,会使该深度水体变得不稳定,发生水体交换现象,最终造成该区域湍流混合强度加强。     

Argo资料的全球上层海温年和半年周期振荡的空间分布特征

利用小波分析方法,对2003-2008年周平均的Argo(地转海洋学实时观测阵)海温资料进行了分析,给出了全球上层海温年周期和半年周期振荡的空间分布特征.结果表明,南北半球中高纬地区以表层海温的年周期变化为主,在低纬度地区,表层海温以半年周期为主,而温跃层附近海温既有年周期也有半年周期(赤道太平洋、东南印度洋和赤道西大西洋以年周期为主;赤道东、西印度洋以半年周期为主).南北半球中高纬的年周期海温和北半球中纬度的半年周期海温在表层范围最大,显著性最高,强度最强,位相最前.随深度的增加,范围减小,显著性降低,强度减弱,位相滞后.信号主要集中在水深50 m以上,影响深度在150m以浅;赤道附近的太平洋和热带东南印度洋的年周期海温以及赤道东、西印度洋的半年周期海温在水深100m范围最大,显著性最高,强度最强,位相最前,信号主要集中在温跃层附近,影响深度均可达500m.     

北太平洋涡旋对基于细尺度参数化的海洋内部混合的影响

基于Vector Geometry方法对2016—2018年的高度计资料进行涡旋识别,并使用细尺度参数化方法和Argo数据计算了涡旋附近的海洋内部扩散率,分析了北太平洋的涡旋对海洋内部混合的影响。结果显示,研究区域在涡旋影响下的平均扩散率比无涡旋影响下的值大6%,并且气旋涡增强了600—1200m深度的混合,对600—900m深度的混合影响最大,可达18%;反气旋涡明显增强了300—900m深度的混合,但对900—1200m深度的混合没有明显影响。随着与涡旋中心距离的增大,涡旋外围混合扩散率缓慢减小,涡旋内部混合扩散率变化不明显,此结果与2014年3—10月在24°—36°N、132°—152°E区域的一个个例分析结果一致。此外,随着涡旋强度的增大,海洋内部混合明显增强。统计结果表明,在研究区域, 90%的扩散率值在10~(-5.5)—10~(-4)m~2/s范围内。     

东海黑潮温度锋分布特征研究

采用WOA13气候态季节温度数据,利用绝对梯度法对东海黑潮不同水深海洋锋的季节变化特征进行了分析,得出结论：东海黑潮温度锋具有显著的季节变化特征,它的范围和强度存在多个大值区,不同季节,温度锋的大值区存在于不同深度。在200 m以浅海域,按照冬季、春季、夏季的季节顺序,温度锋的大值区由表层逐渐增加到100 m层处;在200 m以深海域温度锋的大值区没有季节变化,大值区大约出现在400 m层附近。     

丹麦海峡海洋锋时空变化特征研究

丹麦海峡海洋锋可为局地气候变化、海峡鱼类分布以及海峡中尺度涡等方面研究提供参考,在军事领域也具有较高应用价值。然而目前国内外缺乏对于丹麦海峡锋的系统研究。本文利用WOA13数据,对丹麦海峡锋位置、强度空间分布以及相应的季节变化进行了分析。结果显示,锋轴线位置在34°W以西150 m以浅相对稳定,34°W以东锋轴线随深度和季节均有摆动。锋强度在水平和垂直方向分布不均匀,水平方向上锋轴线最大值与最小值差值一般在3倍以上。垂直方向盐度锋主要集中在100 m以浅,且强度随深度不断减小;温度锋强度最大值在表层以下且在300 m以深随深度增加锋强度减小,但有一些区域如27°W和28°W附近,受到海底地形的影响温度锋强度随着深度的变化有大幅度增加的特点。     

Modeling of the eddy viscosity by breaking waves

Breaking wave induced nearsurface turbulence has important consequences for many physical and biochemical processes including water column and nutrients mixing,heat and gases exchange across air-sea interface.The energy loss from wave breaking and the bubble plume penetration depth are estimated.As a consequence,the vertical distribution of the turbulent kinetic energy(TKE),the TKE dissipation rate and the eddy viscosity induced by wave breaking are also provided.It is indicated that model results are found to be consistent with the observational evidence that most TKE generated by wave breaking is lost within a depth of a few meters near the sea surface.High turbulence level with intensities of eddy viscosity induced by breaking is nearly four orders larger than υwl(=κuwz),the value predicted for the wall layer scaling close to the surface,where uw is the friction velocity in water,κ with 0.4 is the von Kármán constant,and z is the water depth,and the strength of the eddy viscosity depends both on wind speed and sea state,and decays rapidly through the depth.This leads to the conclusion that the breaking wave induced vertical mixing is mainly limited to the near surface layer,well above the classical values expected from the similarity theory.Deeper down,however,the effects of wave breaking on the vertical mixing become less important.     

基于多波束测深仪的西太平洋声散射层测量

为了研究西太平洋声散射层的垂向分布特征和日变化规律,分析了多波束测深系统的水体影像数据。观测结果表明,西太平洋存在着两个声散射层,一个声散射层位于0～200 m,另一个声散射层位于500～700 m,两个声散射层散射强度具有明显的日变化特征,上层散射层的散射强度呈现白天弱,夜晚强的特征,而下层散射层的散射强度日变化规律与上层相反,并且发现深散射层的厚度也存在日变化特征;分析了此种方法的优缺点,对以后声散射层的观测分析提供了新的思路。此外,利用同时下放的声速仪(SVP)的温度和深度数据对下放式声学多普勒流速剖面仪(LADCP)的观测结果进行了修正,得到了更为精确的声散射层垂向位置分布。     

Importance of eddy representation for modeling the intermediate salinity minimum in the North Pacific: Comparison between eddy-resolving and eddy-permitting models

In order to confirm the results of the authors’ previous work, which found that the existence of disturbances smaller than meso-scale eddies is important in large-scale mixing process between the Oyashio and Kuroshio waters in the intermediate layer, the results of an eddy-resolving model experiment are analyzed and compared with those of an eddy-permitting model. The intermediate salinity minimum given in the initial condition weakens as integration advances in the eddy-permitting model, while it recovers rapidly and is maintained thereafter in the eddy-resolving model, initialized from the unrealistic salinity distribution of the former. Filament-like fine structures in temperature and salinity develop actively in the latter, which are much smaller in horizontal width than meso-scale eddies, suggesting the importance of such disturbances in the large-scale mixing. The mixing ratio of the Oyashio water defined by the original Oyashio and Kuroshio waters shows that its value is generally higher in the intermediate lower sub-layer than in the intermediate upper sub-layer in the Mixed Water Region, and the salinity minimum exists between layers with low and high values of the mixing ratio with its strong vertical gradient. The eddy transports of the Oyashio and Kuroshio waters in an isopycnal layer are divided into four components, usual isopycnal mixing of temperature and salinity being dominant, followed by the component associated with the thickness flux. The southward eddy transport of the Oyashio water and the northward eddy transport of the Kuroshio water are not symmetric to each other because the thickness-flux-associated components are in the same direction (southward).     

北冰洋80°～85°N浮冰区对流层大气的垂直结构

Interannual variability in the Mindanao Eddy and its impact on thermohaline structure pattern

The major feature,interannual variability and variation cause of the Mindanao Eddy and its impact on the thermohaline structure are analyzed based on the Argo profiling float data,the history observed data and the SODA data.The analysis results show that the Mindanao Eddy is a permanent cyclonic meso-scale eddy and spreads vertically from about 500 m depth upward do about 50 m depth.In addition to its strong seasonal variability,the Mindanao Eddy displays a remarkable interannual variability associated with ENSO.It strengthens and expands eastward during El Nin o while it weakens and retreats westward during La Nin a.The interannual variability in the Mindanao Eddy may be caused by the North Equatorial Counter Current,the North Equatorial Current,the Mindanao Current and the Indonesian Through Flow.The eddy variability can have a great influence on the thermohaline structure pattern in the local upper ocean.When the eddy is strong,the cold and low salinity water inside the eddy moves violently upward from deep layer,the thermocline depth greatly shoals,and the subsurface high salinity water largely decreases,with the upper mixed layer becoming thinner,and vice versa.     

Influence of the dynamics of currents on the hydrophysical structure of the waters and the vertical exchange in the active layer of the Black Sea

An analysis of the data of measurements of the fine structure and microstructure fluctuations of hydrophysical fields in the upper 200-m layer of the Black Sea carried out using CTD profilers and a Baklan free falling microstructure and turbulence profiler revealed the existence of a positive correlation between the intensity of the fine structure and microstructure fluctuations and the dynamics of the currents. On the other hand, the level of the fine structure and microstructure fluctuations reflects the rate of the vertical turbulent exchange. It was shown that, in the case of the absence of the Black Sea Rim Current (BSRC) jet or clearly manifested mesoscale eddy structures, the vertical turbulent exchange in the pycnocline is weak, while, in the opposite case, it is stronger. The results obtained support the supposition that the interbasin dynamics play an important role in the maintenance of the rate of small-scale mixing in the pycnocline and halocline and provide the vertical transport of dissolved oxygen from the cold intermediate layer into the deeper layers of the sea.     

Zooplankton community structure in a cyclonic and mode-water eddy in the Sargasso Sea

Mesoscale eddies are important suppliers of nutrients to the surface waters of oligotrophic gyres, but little is known about the biological response, particularly that of higher trophic levels, to these physical perturbations. During the summers of 2004 and 2005, we followed the development of a cyclonic eddy and an anti-cyclonic mode-water eddy in the Sargasso Sea. Zooplankton (>150 μm) were collected across both eddies in 9 discrete depth intervals between 0 and 700 m. Comparison of the abundance of major taxa of mesozooplankton in the upper 150 m at eddy center and outside the eddies (day and night) indicated that the cyclone and mode-water eddy supported similar mesozooplankton communities, with several taxa significantly higher in abundance inside than outside the eddies, when compared with the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study site as representative of mean conditions. In both eddies copepod peak abundance occurred in the 50-100 m depth interval, coincident with the chlorophyll a maximum, suggesting elevated food concentration in the eddies may have influenced zooplankton vertical distribution. The two eddies differed in the strength of diel vertical migration of zooplankton, as indicated by the ratio of night:day abundance in the epipelagic zone, which was higher at the center of the mode-water eddy for most taxa. Over the sampling interval of 1-2 months, abundance of the three most common taxa (copepods, chaetognaths, and ostracods) decreased in the cyclone and increased in the mode-water eddy. This further supports previous findings that over the sampling period the cyclone was in a decay phase, while the mode-water eddy was sustaining nutrient fluxes and high phytoplankton concentrations. A more detailed analysis of community structure in the mode-water eddy indicated the 0-700 m integrated abundance of doliolids was significantly higher inside the mode-water eddy than outside. The presence of a mesopelagic (200-700 m) layer of lepadid barnacle cyprids in this eddy highlights the potential of eddies to transport and disperse biota. We conclude that when compared with average ambient conditions (as measured at BATS), mesoscale eddies can influence zooplankton behavior and alter zooplankton community structure which can affect food-web interactions and biogeochemical cycling in the open ocean.     

Spatial organization of particle size composition in an eddy–jet system off California

We describe here the results of an interdisciplinary study conducted off the coast of northern and central California during September 1993 in which we deployed an Optical Plankton Counter. This instrument counted and measured particles in the size range between 0.27 and 9.8 mm equivalent spheric diameter (ESD) occurring between the surface and 240 m depth. The survey region was characterized by the presence of the California Current jet and a cyclonic and an anticyclonic eddy. We analyzed the spatial (horizontal and vertical) distribution of planktonic particles and their relation to this hydrodynamic structure. We used specific analytical methods that take into account spatial constraints, i.e. autocorrelation analysis, constrained agglomerative clustering and contiguity constraints permutation analysis of variance. Horizontal spatial organization of particles was revealed at three different spatial scales (5, 18 and 100 km), while vertical patterns were described at a much smaller scale (20 m). We could detect some degree of similarity between particle size category spatial organization and hydrodynamic structure both by size category association independent of current movements and by comparison of dynamically differentiated areas. Five groups of similar size composition were detected that had some relation to the dynamic structure. Four sub-regions were determined a priori by their different hydrodynamic heights. We could describe a variability of particle abundance among these regions, both for total particles and for some size categories. Particles were more abundant inside the cyclonic eddy and less abundant inside the anticyclonic eddy. We also found deep concentration maxima inside the anticyclonic eddy and shallower concentration maxima inside the cyclonic eddy, with particles >2 mm ESD at deeper levels, for both daytime and nighttime sampling. No systematic difference was detected between daytime and nighttime samples in 0–240 m integrated total particle abundance. However, at night particles appeared to be concentrated into three depth strata (10–50, 70–90 and 90–230 m) of different size-abundance composition, while during the day particles were distributed into one shallow (10–50 m) and one deeper stratum (70–240 m). Smaller particles always occupied the most shallow depths
