ADCP观测得到的2008年4月吕宋海峡流速剖面结构

基于2008年4月22—26日吕宋海峡调查航次的下放式声学多普勒流速剖面仪(LADCP)和船载ADCP(SADCP)等观测资料,并采用潮波模式模拟结果去除潮流对观测资料的影响,观测结果表明:调查期间黑潮入侵南海的位置与1992年春季比较接近,其分支位于调查海区中部C2、C7、C8和C9站,表层黑潮在C8站分离为两支,分别流向C9和C2站,C9站北向流明显比C8站减弱。在C2站,黑潮分支位于400m层以浅,其最大西向流速为77cm/s,而在C7、C8和C9站黑潮分支位于500m层以浅,黑潮在入侵南海的过程中其核心深度逐渐变浅。上层黑潮明显作反气旋弯曲。本调查航次的观测结果在定性上支持吕宋海峡水交换有"三明治"垂直结构的特性。     

日本广岛湾非潮汐的水位变化

Nontidal sea level changes generated in Hiroshima Bay of the Seto-Inland Sea in Japan are studied over various time scales, from the sub-tidal （2 d to 1 month） to inter-annual scales （〉2 years）. The total sea level variation produces a standard deviation （STD） of 12.5 cm. The inter-annual component of the sea level variation in Hiroshima Bay oscillates with a STD of 3.4 cm, forming a long-term trend of 4.9 mm/a. The STD of the sea level variation is 9.8 cm for the seasonal component （8 months to 2 years） and 4.7 cm for the intra-seasonal one （1 month to 8 months）. Significant sea level variations with a STD of 4.2 cm also occur in the sub-tidal range. Special attention is paid to the sub-tidal sea level changes. It is found that the upwelling and associated transient sea level changes generated along the north coast of Hiroshima Bay （opened southward） by the strong northerly wind, play a significant role in sub-tidal sea level changes. The transient sea level changes are over 10 cm in most cases when caused by typhoons that pass through the Pacific Ocean offthe Kii Peninsula, located at about 400 km east of Hiroshima Bay. Reasonable sea level changes are evaluated by the balance of pressure forces at the onshore and offshore boundary of the study domain.
