Vertical Structure of Baroclinic Currents over Northern South China Sea Continental Slope

The 28.6 d time series of ADCP currents at 27 depth levels, (11,15,…,115m) which are obtained from a mooring station at the northern South China Sea continental slope, have been decomposed into barotropic and baroclinic components. The emphasis in this paper is on the analysis of the time series of baroclinic currents by means of several methods,such as the tidal harmonic analysis, the power spectra and the kinetic energy estimation.The major results are as follows: (1) In respect of the baroclinic currents, the values of several parameters first decrease and then increase with depth. These parameters include the temporal mean value of the cross-shelf component, the standard deviations, the amplitudes of K1 constituents, the mean eddy kinetic energy, as well as the significant peaks of the power spectra of the cross-shelf components. (2) The diurnal period of the baroclinic currents is dominant. The diumal tidal current rotates clockwise and the major axis of current ellipse is located along the directions of NW-SE. The vertical distribution of the phases of the diurnal constituent varies with the different water layers. Around the 67m depth level, the phase changes very much.At those layers far away from the 67m depth level, the vertical distribution of the phase is relatively stable, but with opposite phases in the upper and lower water layers. For the upper layers between the surface and 67m,the phases are around 300°; for the lower layers between 67m and 115m, the phases are around 120° .(3) The mean eddy kinetic energy of the baroclinic current is quite large, accounting for 41% of the mean kinetic energy of the measured currents. The cross-shelf component is larger than the along-shelf one. The two baroclinic current components correspond to the major and minor axes of the current ellipse of the diurnal constituent respectively. (4) The power spectra of the baroclinic currents show a singnificant period of about 24h, with 23.6h at both 19m and 99m and 24.4h at 55m. The vertical distributions of the significant spectra-peak values of the power spectra of both the crossshelf and along-shelf components of both the baroclinic currents are different. The former increases with depth, then decreases and finally increases again while the latter decreases with depth.     

模糊聚类法在海洋水团划分中的运用初探(Ⅰ)

前言水团的划分具有鲜明的实用价值。不同水团的交汇处称为混合带(俗称水隔),往往是鱼类集群之处。多年来,不少学者从事水团的划分研究,提出了一些方法,并且在大洋水团划分方面取得了较好的结果。对于浅海,有人企图把基于大洋水文特征建立起来的水团分析方法直接搬过来套用,其结果一般都不理想。过去在海洋水团分析中,经常使用的方法,如地理学分析方法,浓度混合理论分析法等等。有的只是定性分析,有的虽然能得到定量的结果,     

模糊聚类法在海洋水团划分中的运用初探——Ⅱ.用模糊聚类图与λ集讨论水团个数的辨识及水团间的均匀化过程

在文献[1]中,我们提出了水团模糊聚类划分的理由、原理;并且以1976年10月南海北部某一水域的资料为例,利用模糊聚类的原理作了水团划分的尝试,得到了比较合理的结果。在文献[2]里,我们以文献[1]为基础,建立了水团的模糊子集,运用隶属函数法,研究了如何确定水团的边界位置及混合带(层)的宽(厚)度问题。但是,有关水团个数的确定以及水团间的均匀化过程,上述文献均未具体涉及。有鉴于此,本文进一步假定每一个观测站(层)的海洋水文要素值代表了该测站(层)的小邻域内的海     

1994年9月南沙群岛调查海区的跃层特征

对１９９４年９月南沙群岛海区综合考察的标准层资料，运用垂向梯度法，计算了调查海区温、盐及密度３种跃居所处的深度及各自的厚度和强度，并进行了相应的分析。文章还讨论了调查海区温、盐和密度的垂向最大梯度的分布。分析表明，调查海区同时存在着３种跃层现象，多跃层现象较普遍，温、盐和密度的垂向最大梯度所在深度较小。
