极地海冰对北太平洋副热带高压影响的可能途径

本文应用1953-1977年50°N以北、160°E-110°W范围内的月平均北极海冰面积资料,北太平洋副热带高压面积指数和北太洋海温资料,统计分析了11-7月极冰与1-7月海温的时滞相关场和1-7月海温与滞后0-11个月的副热带高压的相关场。计算表明,春季极冰号海温的时滞相关区几乎与加利福尼亚寒流和部分北赤道洋流区相重合,而加利福尼亚寒流区和部分北赤道洋流区正是海温与副高的主要时滞相关区。由此可以认为,在冰-海-气三者的相互作用中,北极海冰对副热带环流影响的可能途径之一,是通过大洋中的洋流输运影响海温来完成的。     

A PROBABLE AVENUE TO EFFECT OF POLAR ICE ON NORTH PACIFIC SUBTROPICAL HIGH

This paper is based on the data for the period from 1953 to 1977, which are the monthly averaged ice cover in the Arctic area within 160° E-110° W and north of 50?N, the areal index of the North Pacific subtropical high and the monthly averaged sea surface temperature of the North Pacific. A statistical analysis of the lag correlations between the polar ice from November to July and the sea surface temperature from January to July, and the sea surface temperature from January to July and the subtropical high lagging zero through eleven months is performed.The analysis shows that the lag correlation regions between the polar ice during spring and the sea surface temperature almost coincide with the regions of the California Current and the paitial north equatorial current, and the regions of the California Current and the partial north equatorial current coincide with the principal lag correlation regions between the sea surface temperature and the subtropical high. All the results suggest that the tra
