基于潜标观测的吕宋海峡以东深海海流的低频变异

本文利用在菲律宾海布放的一套锚系潜标获取的长时间海流和水温观测数据，分析了吕宋海峡以东的深海海洋环境特征，着重阐释了该海域海流的全水深垂向结构及其低频变化特征。研究表明，表层(100～160 m)平均流向为西偏北，流速约为12.5 cm/s；中层(810 m)的平均流为西向，流速为2.6 cm/s；深层(1 550 m和2 560 m)的平均流速在1 cm/s以内，近底(4 040 m)的流向为较稳定的西南向，流速为2.3 cm/s。上层海流的动能比中层和深层大1～2个量级，总动能、平均动能、涡动动能均在表层最大，中层次之、深层最小，各层次涡动能均大于平均动能。中上层海流的低频变化具有极高的相似性，全年为81～85 d的周期振荡；近底层海流则不同，变化周期约为51 d。

Low frequency variation of abyssal current east of the Luzon Strait: Cast study from in situ observation

In order to investigate long-term variations of deep sea currents and temperature in the east of the Luzon Strait, a submarine mooring system was made at 19.75°N, 126.75°E from May 2015 to May 2016 in the Philippine Sea. The vertical distribution of ocean currents and its temporal variation characteristics are analyzed in the paper. Several features show that: (1) In the upper layer (100～160 m) , the average current velocity is about 12.5 cm/s with average flow direction oriented northwest; in the middle layer (810 m), the average current velocity is about 2.6 cm/s with flow direction oriented westward; in the deep layer of 1 550 m and 2 560 m, the average current velocity is small and less than 1 cm/s whereas that in 4 040 m is about 2.3 cm/s and oriented southwest. (2) The kinetic energy of the upper layer is one to two orders of magnitude compared with the middle and the deep layers. In the deep layer, the total kinetic energy and average kinetic energy in the 4 040 m layer is the largest, with smallest total kinetic energy and eddy kinetic energy in the 2 560 m layer, and with smallest averaged kinetic energy and largest eddy kinetic energy in the 1 550 m layer. Meanwhile, eddy kinetic energy is larger than averaged kinetic energy in all the layers. (3) The wavelet analysis shows that ocean current exhibits a low-frequency oscillation period of 81～85 d in layers shallower than 2 560 m, while the current at 4 040 m shows 51 d oscillation period.
