黑潮季节变化对次级海洋环流的影响

黑潮是全球大洋中和大气之间进行热量交换最多的海域之一,它所携带的热量对局地的海-气相互作用具有重要影响。20世纪50—60年代,中国学者就发现冬季黑潮流域的海表温度与中国长江流域汛期降水存在着密切联系。文中利用一个两层半海洋模式主要从动力学角度探讨黑潮流域热源的季节变化对次级海洋环流的影响。结果表明,在黑潮流域冬暖夏冷的外源强迫下,温跃层的海温异常峰值比热源的峰值滞后一个季节,春季的海温异常达到最大。混合层年平均海温异常为正,从冬季到夏季均偏高,春季最大,仅秋季为负异常,这与观测资料一致。混合层与温跃层的春季海温异常的量值大体相当,在其他季节混合层的海温异常均高于温跃层。从冬季到夏季,温跃层和混合层的次级环流呈现从气旋型环流到反气旋型环流的转变,这样的异常环流在夏季有利于向中国东部附近海域输送热量。

Influences of the Kuroshio seasonal variation on the oceanic sub circulation

The Kuroshio valley is one of the most active air-sea heat exchange oceanic regions in the global oceans,and the heat carried by it plays an important role in the local air-sea interaction.The early studies in 1950-1960s found the relationship between the winter Kuroshio sea surface temperature and the summer precipitation over the Yangtse River valley.A 2.5-layer oceanic model is employed to investigate the influences of the Kuroshio seasonal variation on the oceanic sub-circulation from a dynamic view.Und...
