The inter-annual variability of the Yellow Sea Warm Current surface axis and its influencing factors 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Based on the Pathfinder sea surface temperature(PFSST),the surface axis and its pattern of the Yellow Sea Warm Current(YSWC) are discussed.A structure of double-warm-tongue is found in February and it varies in different years.Two indexes are calculated to represent the westward shift(WSI) and northward extension(NEI) of the warm water in the Yellow Sea(YS).Wavelet analysis illustrates that the WSI and NEI have prominent periods of 3-6 years and 3-4 years,respectively.The Empirical Orthogonal Function(EOF) ... 相似文献

An N-shape thermal front in the western South Yellow Sea (YS) in winter was detected using Advanced Very High Resolution Radiation
(AVHRR) Sea Surface Temperature data and in-situ observations with a merged front-detecting method. The front, which exists
from late October through early March, consists of western and eastern wings extending roughly along the northeast-southwest
isobaths with a southeastward middle segment across the 20–50 m isobaths. There are north and south inflexions connecting
the middle segment with the western and eastern wings, respectively. The middle segment gradually moves southwestward from
November through February with its length increasing from 62 km to 107 km and the southern inflexion moving from 36.2°N to
35.3°N. A cold tongue is found to coexist with the N-shape front, and is carried by the coastal jet penetrating southward
from the tip of the Shandong Peninsula into the western South YS as revealed by a numerical simulation. After departing from
the coast, the jet flows as an anti-cyclonic recirculation below 10 m depth, trapping warmer water originally carried by the
compensating Yellow Sea Warm Current (YSWC). A northwestward flowing branch of the YSWC is also found on the lowest level
south of the front. The N-shape front initially forms between the cold tongue and warm water involved in the subsurface anti-cyclonical
recirculation and extends upwards to the surface through vertical advection and mixing. Correlation analyses reveal that northerly
and easterly winds tend to be favorable to the formation and extension of the N-shape front probably through strengthening
of the coastal jet and shifting the YSWC pathway eastward, respectively. 相似文献

Using merged sea level anomaly and absolute geostrophic velocity products from satellite altimetry and Argos drifter data,we analyzed the reversal process of the South China Sea(SCS) western boundary current(SCSwbc) from a summer to winter pattern in 2011 and important oceanic phenomena during this process.Results show that the outbreak time of the northeast monsoon over the southern SCS lagged that over the northern SCS by about 1 month.During the SCS monsoon reversal period,the SCSwbc reversed rapidly into the winter pattern at the Guangdong continental slope in late September.Subsequently,the southward Vietnam coastal boundary current strengthened.However,the northward Natuna Current maintained a summer state until mid-October.Thus,the balance between the southward and northward currents was lost when they met,their junction moved gradually southward.However,a loop current formed southeast of Vietnam because the main stream of the Vietnam Offshore Current(VOC) remained near its original latitude.Meanwhile,the VOC and associated dipole circulation system strengthened.After midOctober,the northward Natuna Current began to weaken,the loop current finally shed,becoming a cool ring.The VOC and its associated dipole sub-basin circulation system also weakened gradually until it disappeared. 相似文献

In this paper, the authors used the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) to simulate the seasonal evolutions of circulation and thermal structure in the Yellow Sea. The simulated circulation showed that the Yellow Sea Warm Current (YSWC) was a compensation current of monsoon-driven current, and that in winter, the YSWC became stronger with depth, and could flow across the Bohai Strait in the north. Sensitivity and controlling tests led to the following conclusions, In winter, the direction of the Yellow Sea Coastal Current in the surface layer was controlled partly by tide instead of wind, In summer, a cyclonic horizontal gyre existed in the middle and eastern parts of the Yellow Sea below 10 m. The downwelling in upper layer and upwelling in lower layer were somehow similar to Hu et al. (1991) conceptual model. The calculated thermal structure showed an obvious northward extending YSWC tongue in winter, its position and coverage of the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass in summer. 相似文献

Seasonality and causes of the Yellow Sea Warm Current 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To study the seasonality and causes of the Yellow Sea Warm Current (YSWC) in detail, rotated empirical orthogonal function (REOF) and extended associate pattern analysis are adopted with daily sea surface salinity (SSS), sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface height (SSH) datasets covering 1126 days from American Navy Experimental Real-Time East Asian Seas Ocean Nowcast System in the present paper. Results show that in the Yellow and East China Seas, the YSWC is a mean barotropic flow as compensation of winter-monsoon-driven surface currents, which has been directly observed. When East Asia winter monsoon weakens, so do the meridional pressure gradient of the surface seawater and the YSWC, while the transversal pressure gradient changes rather slowly that results in the YSWC left turning. In addition, there is southward mean flow compensation of summer-monsoon-driven surface currents, which actually was also directly ob-served. 相似文献

Seasonal variations of several main water masses in the southern Yellow Sea and East China Sea in 2011 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2

The seasonal variations of several main water masses in the southern Yellow Sea (SYS) and East China Sea (ECS) in 2011 were analyzed using the in-situ data collected on four cruises. There was something special in the observations for the Yellow Sea Warm Current (YSWC), the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass (YSCWM) and the Changjiang Diluted Water (CDW) during that year. The YSWC was confirmed to be a seasonal current and its source was closely associated with the Kuroshio onshore intrusion and the northerly wind. It was also found that the YSCWM in the summer of 2011 occupied a more extensive area in comparison with the climatologically-mean case due to the abnormally powerful wind prevailing in the winter of 2010 and decaying gradually thereafter. Resulting from the reduced Changjiang River discharge, the CDW spreading toward the Cheju Island in the summer of 2011 was weaker than the long-term mean and was confined to flow southward in the other seasons. The other water masses seemed normal without noticeable anomalies in 2011. The Yellow Sea Coastal Current (YSCC) water, driven by the northerly wind, flowed southeastward as a whole except for its northeastward surface layer in summer. The Taiwan Warm Current (TWC) was the strongest in summer and the weakest in winter in its northward movement. The Kuroshio water with an enhanced onshore intrusion in autumn was stable in hydrographic features apart from the seasonal variation of its surface layer. 相似文献

Observations of current velocity, pressure, and temperature in the eastern Yellow Sea during January 10 to April 12, 1986,
and geostrophic winds calculated from surface pressure distributions, are analyzed for a study of the synoptic band response
of the Yellow Sea to the wintertime winds. Currents in shallow coastal waters along a straight portion of the coast are mostly
downwind to the south. Along the northern coast sheltered by a large bay, the current is persistently northward. This could
be the result of a domination by geostrophic currents associated with an offshore-directed density gradient which is known
to form in areas around this location. In the Yellow Sea trough, strong upwind flows are found to follow closely surges in
the north wind. Co-spectral analyses show that these events are driven by a longitudinal pressure gradient associated with
the sea-level set-up along the west coast of South Korea under a prevailing north wind. 相似文献

There were different biogeographical tintinnids in the oceans. Knowledge of their distribution pattern and mixing was important to the understanding of ecosystem functions. Yellow Sea (YS) and Bohai Sea (BS) were semi-enclosed seas influenced by warm water intrusion and YS cold bottom water. The occurrence of tintinnids in YS and BS during two cruises (summer and winter) were investigated to find out: i) whether warm-water tintinnids appeared in YS and BS; ii) whether boreal tintinnids appeared in high summer; iii) the core area of neritic tintinnids and iv) how these different biogeographical tintinnids mixed. Our results showed that tintinnid community was dominated by neritic tintinnid. We confirmed the occurrence of warm-water tintinnids in summer and winter. In summer, they intruded into BS and mainly distributed in the upper 20 m where Yellow Sea Surface Warm Water (YSSWW) developed. In winter, they were limited in the surface water of central deep region (bottom depth >50 m) of YS where were affected by Yellow Sea Warm Water (YSWW). Boreal tintinnids occurred in YS in high summer (August) and in winter, while they were not observed in BS. In summer, the highest abundance of boreal tintinnids occurred in Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water, indicating the presence of an oversummering stock. In winter, they were concentrated in the north of YSWW. Vertically, neritic tintinnids abundance was high in the bottom layers. Horizontally, high neritic tintinnids abundance in bottom layers occurred along the 50 m isobath coinciding with the position of front systems. Front systems were the core distribution area of neritic tintinnids. High abundance areas of warm-water and boreal tintinnids were clearly separated vertically in summer, and horizontally in winter. High abundance of neritic tintinnids rarely overlapped with that of warm-water or boreal tintinnids. 相似文献

To reconstruct the formation and evolution process of the warm current system within the East China Sea (ECS) and the Yellow Sea (YS) since the last deglaciation, the paleoceangraphic records in core DGKS9603, core CSH1 and core YSDPI02, which were retrieved from the mainstream of the Kuroshio Current (KC), the edge of the modem Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) and muddy region under cold waters accreted with the Yellow Sea Warm Current (YSWC) respectively, were synthetically analyzed. The results indicate that the formation and evolution of the modem warm current system in the ECS and the YS has been accompanied by the development of the KC and impulse rising of the sea level since the last deglaciation. The influence of the KC on the Okinawa Trough had enhanced since 16 cal kyr BE and synchronously the modem TWC began to develop with the rising of sea level and finally formed at about 8.5 cal kyr BP. The KC had experienced two weakening process during the Heinrich event 1 and the Younger Drays event from 16 to 8.5 cal kyr BP. The period of 7-6 cal kyr BP was the strongest stage of the KC and the TWC since the last deglaciation. The YSWC has appeared at about 6.4 cal kyr BP. Thus,the warm current system of the ECS and the YS has ultimately formed. The weakness of the KC,indicated by the occurrence of Pulleniatina minimum event (PME) during the period from 5.3 to 2.8 cal kyr BE caused the main stream of the TWC to shift eastward to the Pacific Ocean around about 3 cal kyr BP. The process resulted in the intruding of continent shelf cold water mass with rich nutrients. Synchronously, the strength of the YSWC was relatively weak and the related cold water body was active at the early-mid stage of its appearance against the PME background, which resulted in the quick formation of muddy deposit system in the southeastern YS. The strength of the warm current system in the ECS and the YS has enhanced evidently, and approached to the modern condition gradually since 3 cal kyr BP. 相似文献

Seasonal variability of salinity budget and water exchange in the northern Indian Ocean from HYCOM assimilation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Based on HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) assimilation and observations, we analyzed seasonal variability of the salinity budget in the southeastern Arabian Sea (AS) and the southern part of the Bay of Bengal (BOB), as well as water exchange between the two basins. Results show that fresh water flux cannot explain salinity changes in salinity budget of both regions. Oceanic advection decreases salinity in the southeastern AS during the winter monsoon season and increases salinity in the southern BOB during the summer monsoon season. In winter, the Northeast Monsoon Current (NMC) carries fresher water from the BOB westward into the southern AS; this westward advection is confined to 4°-6°N and the upper 180 m south of the Indian peninsula. Part of the less saline water then turns northward, decreasing salinity in the southeastern AS. In summer, the Southwest Monsoon Current (SMC) advects high-salinity water from the AS eastward into the BOB, increasing salinity along its path. This eastward advection of high-salinity water south of the India Peninsula extends southward to 2°N, and the layer becomes shallower than in winter. In addition to the monsoon current, the salinity difference between the two basins is important for salinity advection. 相似文献

The sensitivity of the global atmospheric and oceanic response to sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) throughout the South China Sea (SCS) is investigated using the Fast Ocean-Atmosphere Model (FOAM). Forced by a warming SST, the experiment explicitly demonstrates that the responses of surface air temperature (SAT) and SST exhibit positive anomalous center over SCS and negative anomalous center over the Northern Pacific Ocean (NPO). The atmospheric response to the warm SST anomalies is characterized by a barotropical anomaly in middle-latitude, leading to a weak subtropical high in summer and a weak Aleutian low in winter. Accordingly, Indian monsoon and eastern Asian monsoon strengthen in summer but weaken in winter as a result of wind convergence owing to the warm SST. It is worth noting that the abnormal signals propagate poleward and eastward away in the form of Rossby Waves from the forcing region, which induces high pressure anomaly. Owing to action of the wind-driven circulation, an anomalous anti-cyclonic circulation is induced with a primary southward current in the upper ocean. An obvious cooling appears over the North Pacific, which can be explained by anomalous meridional cold advection and mixing as shown in the analysises of heat budget and other factors that affect SST. 相似文献

Based on survey data from April to May 2009, distribution and its influential factors of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) over the continental slopes of the Yellow Sea (YS) and East China Sea (ECS) are discussed. Influenced by the Changjiang (Yangtze) River water, alongshore currents, and the Kuroshio current off the coast, DIN concentrations were higher in the Changjiang River estuary, but lower (<1 μmol/L) in the northern and eastern YS and outer continental shelf area of the ECS. In the YS, the thermocline formed in spring, and a cold-water mass with higher DIN concentration (about 11 μmol/L) formed in benthonic water around 123.2°E. In Changjiang estuary (around 123°E, 32°N), DIN concentration was higher in the 10 m layer; however, the bottom DIN concentration was lower, possibly influenced by mixing of the Taiwan Warm Current and offshore currents. 相似文献

To reconstruct the formation and evolution process of the warm current system within the East China Sea (ECS) and the Yellow

The concentration of suspended load can be determined by its linear relationship to turbidity. Our results present the basic
distribution of suspended load in North Yellow Sea. In summer, the suspended load concentration is high along the coast and
low in the center of the sea. There are four regions of high concentration in the surface layer: Penglai and Chengshantou
along the north of the Shandong Peninsula, and the coastal areas of Lüshun and Changshan Islands. There is a 2 mg/L contour
at 124°E that separates the North Yellow Sea from regions of lower concentrations in the open sea to the west. And there is
a 2 mg/L contour at 124°E that separates the North Yellow Sea from regions of lower concentrations in the open sea to the
west. The distribution features in the 10 m and bottom layer are similar to the surface layer, however, the suspended load
concentration declines in the 10 m layer while it increases in the bottom layer. And in the bottom layer there is a low suspended
load concentration water mass at the region south of 38°N and east of 123°E extending to the southeast. In general, the lowest
suspended load concentration in a vertical profile is at a depth of 10 to 20 m, the highest suspended load concentration is
in the bottom near Chengshantou area.
In winter, the distribution of suspended load is similar to summer, but the average concentrations are three times higher.
There are two tongue-shaped high suspended load concentration belt, one occurring from surface to seafloor, extends to the
north near Chengshantou and the other invades north to south along the east margin of Dalian Bay. They separate the low suspended
load concentration water masses in the center of North Yellow Sea into east and west parts. Vertical distribution is quite
uniform in the whole North Yellow Sea because of the cooling effect and strong northeast winds. The distribution of suspended
load has a very close relationship to the current circulation and wind-induced waves in the North Yellow Sea. Because of this,
we have been able to show for the first time that the distribution of suspended load can be used to identify water masses. 相似文献

Light transmission data collected from June to July 1987 and from February to March 1997 by the R/V Kexue 1 in the East China Sea were used to analyze its distribution characteristics and its relation to the sediment transport in this sea. Some results obtained were: (1) The Taiwan Warm Current flowing northwards seemed to be a barrier preventing suspended matter discharged from the Changjiang River Estuary from continuously moving southeastward and causing the suspended matter to flow along a path near 123°30′E in summer and 123°00′E in winter. (2) Suspended matter in the area adjacent to the Changjiang River Estuary could not be transported southward along the coast in summer due to opposing offshore currents including the Taiwan Warm Current flowing northward and the Changjiang Diluted Water turning northeastward. (3) The thermocline and temperature front bar suspended matter from crossing through. 相似文献

Surface circulation patterns observed by drifters in the Yellow Sea in summer of 2001, 2002 and 2003 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In summer of 2001, 2002 and 2003, ten, six and seventeen satellite-tracked surface drifters with drogues centered at 15 and 4 m were deployed, respectively, in the southern Yellow Sea (YS). 23 drifters of them transmitted useful data of at least 30 days. The wind-driven component of the drift was removed from the original drift velocity of drifters. The wind data used are from NCEP (National Center for Environmental Prediction), USA.Trajectories and drift velocities of the 23 drifters depicted the upper circulation structure in the southern YS. There exists an anti-cyclonic eddy with a mean speed and radius of 0.063 m/s and 50km in the central southern YS, whose center lingered within 35.3-36.0°N / 123.5-124.0°E. Showed by 6 drifters, a basin-scale elliptic cyclonic gyre with a mean speed of 0.114 m/s, long and short radius of 250 and 200 km surrounds the anti-cyclonic eddy. In the southwestern part of the southern YS has obvious frontal eddy activities within about 100 km with a mean speed about 0.076 相似文献
