常规信息对遥感海表流场的修正方法

从美国NOAA系列卫星AVHRR资料得到海表温度(SST)图能大面积同步地反映出某一时刻海表面温度分布实况,而海表温度结构反映出一定的海流信息.因此,从有时间序列的SST图的变化规律可定性地看出水团的移动情况.如果借助计算机技术,利用连续SST图就可反演海表流场,得到大面积同步的海表流场图.     

卫星遥感海洋环境要素的渔场渔情分析应用

20世纪70年代初Laurs,Kemmerer,Stevenson等的试验性研究使得卫星遥感海水表层温度（SST）和海洋水色信息在渔场渔情分析中得到初步应用。由于卫星遥感所获取的各类海洋环境要素信息能够帮助渔民减少寻鱼时间,节约燃料,提高渔捞效率,因此,随着卫星遥感技术的快速发展和所获取海洋环境要素的增加,海水叶绿素、海面高度及海流信息等也迅速运用到商业捕捞中。与此同时,卫星遥感反演精度的提高也使得其在渔场渔情分析中的应用从试验研究阶段走向业务化应用。     

利用卫星遥感资料对南海北部陆架海洋表层温度锋的分析

利用7年(1993～1999)月平均的SST卫星遥感资料，分析了南海北部陆架区域海洋表层温度锋在一年中的逐月变化特征，表明南海北部陆架海洋表层温度锋存在明显的季节内变化。结合风场的卫星遥感资料，分析了东北季风对南海北部陆架温度锋的影响，表明东北季风风速的增加有利于温度锋强度的增强。通过对黑潮南海流套入侵较强的1999年2月与流套入侵较弱的1998年2月的SST卫星遥感资料的对比分析，考察了黑潮南海流套的入侵对南海北部陆架温度锋的影响，结果表明黑潮流套的较强入侵能够增加陆架温度锋的强度，对温度锋的走向也会产生一定的影响。     

利用卫星观测海面信息反演三维温度场

基于历史观测的温盐剖面资料,采用回归分析方法统计出海面温度异常、海面动力高度异常与温度剖面异常之间的相关关系;然后利用高分辨率的卫星遥感海表面温度(SST)和卫星观测海面高度(SSH)信息重构了三维海洋温度场。在台湾岛周边海域建立了时间分辨率为天、空间分辨率为0.25°×0.25°的三维温度分析场。通过与实测资料的比较分析,文章所构建的分析场能够较好地描述海洋三维温度场的结构特征,能够较为真实地反映海洋的中尺度变化过程。该分析场可以作为海洋数值模式的初始场,也可以作为伪观测同化到海洋数值再分析和预报系统中,进而改善三维温、盐、流的数值再分析和预报。

垂向变化的波浪辐射应力影响下流场数值研究

采用浪流沙耦合模型COHEREN-SED模型进行黄河三角洲的海流三维运动数值模拟。文中将垂向平均的波浪辐射应力与垂向变化的波浪辐射应力引入至COHERENS-SED,通过该模型进行波浪辐射应力影响下的海流场演变数值研究。研究结果显示波浪辐射应力的存在显著改变了水深小于5m的流场。垂向变化的辐射应力则使得其表层波生沿岸流速大于传统的垂向均匀辐射应力引起的波生沿岸流速,底层则刚好相反。当波浪强度很大时,流场中的波生沿岸流对水深较浅的海岸区海流场影响较大。     

经略21世纪海上丝路之海洋环境特征:海流特征

海流对于海洋渔业、海洋表层初级生产力分布、海洋物质输运等理化生现象有着重要影响。文章利用海洋再分析流场资料,简要分析印度洋海区和南海海区(20°S—30°N,30°E—130°E)的流场年平均以及季节变化特点,得出以下结论:1南海海区流场的季节变化显著,受到季风、黑潮和地形的共同影响作用,在东北季风期间存在沿粤东沿岸至海南岛南侧转向沿越南沿岸的一支流系,该流系的强度变化影响爪哇海等南海南侧海区流场变化。2苏拉威西岛东侧和加里曼丹岛西侧流系有明显的季节变化,在流动强盛的时期这两支流系均是偏南向流动;从爪哇海流出的海流常年存在,夏季附近流速最大,最大流速分布在1.0m/s。3赤道印度洋海区和非洲东岸的沿岸流存在明显的季节变化,上层海区流动的低流速区存在流向切变;沿岸流最大流速在5-9月出现,可达1.8m/s以上,而赤道流系则在11月,可达0.8m/s以上。

以印度洋北部海域为研究区域,分别从地理位置、温度曲线和反演精度3 个方面对AQUA 卫星上的MODIS 和 AMSR-E反演的海表温度特征进行了对比分析。其主要特征表现为MODIS SST 与AMSR-E SST 之间的差异随纬度变化较为 明显;在近岸区域,AMSR-E SST无法获得准确的海表面温度;MODIS SST 与AMSR-E SST 之间的差异随温度而不同;在本 次研究中,AMSR-E SST 反演精度总体优于MODIS SST。本次研究结果对利用热红外遥感和被动微波遥感进行海洋表面温度 的定量反演具有重要的参考价值。     

波致应力对台风天气下南海上层海流的影响分析

利用海洋环流模式POM,分别在考虑波致应力和不考虑波致应力的情况下对1998年台风Faith影响南海期间的海洋环流进行了模拟试验,并将模拟结果与浮标观测资料进行了对比分析。初步的分析结果显示,在考虑波致应力情况下的模式结果无论在海表面温度(SST)的最大降温还是台风引起的海流的近惯性波动等方面均与观测结果更为接近;相对于不考虑波致应力的模式结果,最低SST降低了1℃,达到了24.12℃,而最大表层流速增加了17cm.s-1,达到了1.74m.s-1,计算的1 000m以内的正压流速大约增加了32%,达到了16.2cm.s-1。     

用GEOSAT卫星高度计资料估计热带西太平洋赤道纬向地转流

卫星高度计资料在海洋动力学中的应用主要是进行涨平面及海流变化的研究。在物理海洋学中，海流速度的测定是非常重要的，所以用高度资料推算地转流有重要意义。本文用２年多的ＧＥＯＳＡＴ卫星高度计资料，根据地转平衡方程，计算了赤道１６５°Ｅ的纬向地转流速度，并且将推算值与实测资料进行了比较，其相关系数为０．８５，达到了令人满意的。实践证明只要对高度计资料的质量控制、误差订正等处理方法得当，滤波方法及尺度选择合     

利用卫星测高、GRACE和GOCE资料估计全球海洋表面地转流

重力恢复和气候试验GRACE(gravity recovery and climate experiment)卫星极大地提高了地球重力场的精度和分辨率,特别是中长波分量,联合卫星测高数据可获得全球海洋表面大尺度洋流循环。另外,新一代地球重力和海洋环流探测卫星GOCE(gravity field and steady-state ocean circulation explorer)于2009年3月成功发射,采用卫星重力梯度测量原理,对重力场的高频部分非常敏感,使其高分辨率监测全球海洋循环成为可能。本文利用1~7年GRACE观测数据确定的重力场模型和18个月GOCE观测数据确定的地球重力场模型GO_CONS_GCF_2_TIM_R3,联合卫星测高确定的平均海面高模型MSS_CNES_CLS_11,分别估计全球海洋表面地转流,并且与实测浮标数据结果进行比较。分析表明GOCE重力卫星确定的重力场模型具有更高的空间分辨率,能够确定高精度和高空间分辨率的全球海洋地转流,如墨西哥湾暖流的细节和特征,并且与实测浮标结果基本一致。而基于1~4年GRACE观测资料的模型不能很好估计全球地转流特征,基于7年GRACE观测资料的重力场模型ITG-Grace2010s确定的全球地转流的精度仍低于18个月GOCE观测数据确定的地球重力场模型GO_CONS_GCF_2_TIM_R3的结果,估计的全球地转流仍含有较大的噪声,不能很好地反应中小尺度地转流细节特征。并计算ITG_Grace2010s和GOCE_TIM3的稳态海面地形和全球平均地转流的内符合精度,结果显示,在全球范围内,GOCE_TIM3的稳态海面地形和全球平均地转流的精度都比ITG_Grace2010s结果的精度有着很大的改善,其中ITG_Grace2010s的稳态海面地形的精度为21.6cm,而GOCE_TIM3的结果则为7.45cm,ITG_Grace2010s的全球平均地转流的精度为40.7cm/s,而GOCE_TIM3的结果则为19.6cm/s。     

基于卫星高度计和漂流浮标数据间数学校验关系的黑潮流轴和流路主成分估计

由于卫星高度计数据分辨率高、观测范围广的特点，我们使用该数据开展了黑潮流的研究。在之前的研究中，卫星绝对地转流都被用于对黑潮流域的表层流场的时空变化特征进行研究，并采用了一些探测方法提取了黑潮流轴和流路。然而，海面绝对地转流是由绝对动力地形估计得到，应该被当做实际流场的地转分量，在实际应用中并不能代表真实流场。在本研究中，建立了气候态绝对地转流与网格平均的漂流浮标流场间的数学校验关系，以此对卫星绝对地转流场进行修正，即便这两种数据的性质存在些许偏差。因此，基于主成分探测法，修正后的卫星绝对地转流被用于探测黑潮流轴和流路。对比结果表明，由修正后的卫星地转流场探测得到的黑潮流轴和流路均要好于地转流和表层流估计结果。修正后的地转流有助于开展更加准确的黑潮流轴和流路的逐日探测。

Surface available gravitational potential energy in the world oceans

Satellite altimetry observations, including the upcoming Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission, provide snapshots of the global sea surface high anomaly field. The common practice in analyzing these surface elevation data is to convert them into surface velocity based on the geostrophic approximation. With increasing horizontal resolution in satellite observations, sea surface elevation data will contain many dynamical signals other than the geostrophic velocity. A new physical quantity, th...     

TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason Equatorial Sea Surface Slope Anomaly in the Atlantic in 2002: Comparison with Wind and Current Measurements at 23W

A time series of velocity profile in the upper 150 m of the equatorial Atlantic was gathered at 23W in 2002 within the PIRATA program. It constitutes the first time series of near surface current measurements simultaneous with altimetric data in the equatorial Atlantic. The surface slope anomaly along the equator is computed from satellite altimetry, and, as a proxy for the pressure gradient along the equator, compared with the wind and near surface current data. In a first step, a time series of the surface slope anomaly along the equator in the Atlantic is computed from the 10-year-long TOPEX/Poseidon sea level anomalies. A sensitivity study establishes the robustness of the calculation. Apart from a 15 cm bias, the equatorial sea surface slope anomalies estimated either from TOPEX/Poseidon or from Jason over the 6-month overlap (Feb.–Aug. 2002) do not reveal drastic differences. We produce two sea surface slope anomaly composite time series for 2002 (one with T/P data, the other with Jason data during the commissioning phase) and compare them to the wind and velocity data at 23W. As expected, the near surface velocity and depth of the upper limit of the equatorial undercurrent (EUC) are extremely well correlated with the surface pressure gradient anomaly. 10-year-long time series of altimetry-derived zonal sea surface slope anomaly and ECMWF ERA40 wind stress are also well correlated. They exhibit similar spectral content and similar anomalous years. This is a first step towards a full analysis of the EUC dynamics using altimetry, PIRATA data (near surface current and subsurface thermohaline structure) and model. These initial comparisons reinforce the utility of Jason measurements for continuing the 10-year and highly accurate TOPEX/Poseidon time series for study of equatorial signals.

Ocean-atmosphere momentum coupling in the Kuroshio Extension observed from space

Using a combination of Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT), Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-Earth Observing System (AMSR-E), and Lagrangian drifter measurements, we demonstrate that wind data alone are not sufficient to derive ocean surface stress (momentum flux) over mid-latitude ocean fronts, specifically the Kuroshio Extension. There was no continuous and large-scale stress measurement over ocean until the launch of the scatterometers. Stress had been derived from winds through a drag coefficient, and our concept of stress distribution may be largely influenced by our knowledge of wind distribution. QuikSCAT reveals that the variability of stress could be very different from wind. The spatial coherence between the magnitude of stress and sea surface temperature (SST), between the divergence of surface stress and the downwind SST gradient, and between the vorticity of stress and crosswind SST gradient, are the inherent characteristics of stress (turbulence production by buoyancy) that would exist even under a uniform wind field. The coherence between stress vorticity and SST gradient is masked by the rotation of ocean currents over the Kuroshio meanders. Surface stress rotates in the opposite direction to surface currents because stress is the vector difference between wind and current. The results are in agreement with a previous study of the Agulhas Extension and confirm the unique stress measuring capability of the scatterometer.

Comparison of Surface Current Data from In Situ Observations with Numerical-Model-Derived Data,Satellite Altimetry Measurement Data,and the Results of Dynamic Method Calculations for the Sea of Okhotsk near the Northwestern Coast of Kamchatka

Schemes of surface flows near northwestern Kamchatka are shown, compiled from in situ observation data, numerical-model-derived data, satellite altimetry measurement data, and results calculated by the dynamic method. The flow characteristics obtained by various methods are compared. No statistically significant linear dependence of the velocities of absolute and geostrophic currents were detected. A linear dependence was observed between the directions of geostrophic flows calculated by the standard dynamic method and from satellite altimetry data, as well as between directions measured by the Argonaut MD and the calculated model. We have estimated the fraction of the ageostrophic component in currents. According to geostrophic current calculations by different methods, it ranged from 86 to 93%. A significant limitation of this data is the difficulty of their interpretation. They may not always give a perfect representation of stable water circulation in the studied area under.
