Hydrographic conditions in the Tsushima Strait revisited 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Long-term averaged temperature and salinity distributions in the Tsushima Strait are investigated on the basis of a concurrent
dataset of the eastern and western channels during 1971–2000. Both temperature and salinity show a clear seasonal variation
with weak and strong stratifications in December–April and June–October, respectively. The largest standard deviations occur
in summer around the thermocline for temperature and in the surface layer for salinity. This indicates large interannual variability
in the development of a thermocline and low salinity water advection from the East China Sea. The water masses in both channels
are distinctly different from each other; the water in the western channel is generally colder and fresher than that in the
eastern channel throughout the year. Baroclinic transport based on the density distributions shows a seasonal variation with
a single peak in August for the eastern channel and double peaks in April and August for the western channel. However, this
cannot explain the seasonal variation in the total volume transport estimated from the sea level differences across the channels.
The spatial distribution of baroclinic transport shows a year-round negative transport towards the East China Sea behind the
Iki Island in the eastern part of the eastern channel. This negative transport reflects the baroclinic structure between the
offshore Tsushima Current Water and cold coastal water. The corresponding southwestward currents are found in both Acoustic
Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and high frequency (HF) radars observations. 相似文献

On the basis of processing of the oceanographic data accumulated for the water area of the North Atlantic in 1950–1999 (∼500,000
stations), we study seasonal and interannual variations of the principal characteristics of pycnocline within the range of
σt = 25.5–27.5 conventional density units. It is shown that the interannual oscillations of these characteristics in the entire
analyzed layer can be regarded as a superposition of fluctuations with periods from 2–3 to 10–12 yr. The typical ranges of
these fluctuations for the depths of occurrence of isopycnic surfaces and the corresponding temperature and salinity are equal
to 20–25 m, 1–1.5°C, and 0.25‰, respectively. The intensification of atmospheric circulation at middle latitudes is accompanied
by the simultaneous deepening of the pycnocline and its heating in the central part of the North Subtropical Anticyclonic
Gyre. At the same time, the process of weakening of the atmospheric circulation leads to the rise of the pycnocline and its
cooling. The complete cycle of interaction of the North-Atlantic Oscillation with the anomalies of isopycnic characteristics
(with regard for the period of their advection) is equal to ∼6–8 yr.

The data on the isotopic composition of particulate organic carbon (δ13CPOC) in the Caspian Sea water in summer–autumn 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2013 are discussed in the paper. These data allowed as to reveal the predominant genesis of organic carbon in suspended particulate matter of the active seawater layer (from 0 to 40 m). The δ13CPOC =–27‰ (PDB) and δ13CPOC =–20.5‰ (PDB) values were taken as the reference data for terrigenous and planktonogenic organic matter, respectively. Seasonal (early summer, late summer, and autumn) variations in the composition of suspended particulate matter in the active sea layer were revealed. A shift of δ13CPOC towards greater values was seen in autumn (with a slight outburst in the development (bloom) of phytoplankton) in comparison with summer (with large accumulations and an extraordinary phytoplankton bloom confined to the thermocline area). The seasonal dynamics of autochthonous and allochthonous components in the suspended particulate matter of the Middle and Southern Caspian Sea was studied with the use of data on the concentration of particulate matter and chlorophyll a, the phytoplankton biomass and the POC content. 相似文献

Characteristics of variations of water properties and density structure around the Kuroshio in the East China Sea 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Quarterly data of CTD at the PN line in the East China Sea during 1988–94 were analyzed to examine the variations of water
properties and density structure in relation to the Kuroshio. The Kuroshio flows over the continental slope at the PN line.
Water properties in the surface layer less than 100 db change greatly and show a clear seasonal cycle, while those in the
subsurface layer are much less variable. The small isobaric variations in the subsurface layer are almost due to the vertical
movement of isopycnals, on which the water properties vary little. The subsurface variations of salinity, temperature and
isopycnal depth are classified into four groups occurring in the four regions, divided vertically by the middle of the main
pycnocline and horizontally by the offshore edge of the Kuroshio, named Groups 1 (upper Kuroshio), 2 (upper offshore region),
3 (lower Kuroshio), and 4 (lower offshore region). The difference in averaged isopycnal depth between Groups 1 and 2 (3 and
4) is highly correlated with the vertical shear of the Kuroshio velocity in the upper (lower) pycnocline. The isopycnal depth
of Groups 1 and 3 has little annual cycle (with large intraseasonal variations in Group 3), while that of Groups 2 and 4 shows
a clear seasonal variation with the minimum in fall. As a result, the Kuroshio velocity is smallest in fall almost every year,
although the amplitude of seasonal variation and the season of maximum velocity are different from year to year. Interannual
variations of isopycnal depth are characterized by a large amplitude of Group 2 and an opposite phase between Groups 3 and
4, so that the variations of difference in isopycnal depth between Groups 1 and 2 and Groups 3 and 4, i.e., the upper and
lower shear of the Kuroshio velocity, are comparably significant. 相似文献

A one-dimensional numerical model with a level-2.5 turbulent closure scheme to provide vertical mixing coefficients has been
used to investigate the process by which the dichothermal water is formed in the Bering Sea, the density of which is about
26.6 sigma-theta. The water column to be simulated is assumed to move along a predetermined path. That is, the present model
is of the Lagrangian-type. Surface boundary conditions are given using the climatologies of heat, freshwater and momentum
fluxes. In order to obtain a plausible moving speed of the water column along the path, pre-liminary experiments were done
using the surface fluxes in the central part of the Bering Sea for the initial temperature and salinity profiles at the entrance
of the Sea. As a result, it was found that the temperature minimum layer, i.e., the dichothermal water with temperature similar
to the climatology at the exit of the Bering Sea, was formed after about two years of integration. Based on the result, the
movement speed of the water column along the path was set as 4.5 cm/s in the standard run. It was found that this model could
plausibly reproduce the subsurface temperature minimum layer. That is, the dichothermal water was formed in the winter mixed
layer process in the Bering Sea. The existence of the subsurface halocline (pycnocline) prohibited the deeper penetration
of the winter mixed layer, and therefore water with a temperature colder than that under the mixed layer was formed in the
mixed layer due to wintertime surface cooling. In the warming season this water remains as the subsurface temperature minimum
layer between the upper seasonal thermocline and the lower halocline.

The vertical structure of the M2 tidal current in the Yellow Sea is analyzed from data acquired using an acoustic Doppler current profiler. The observed vertical
profiles of the M2 tidal current are decomposed into two rotating components of counter-clockwise and clockwise, and restructured using a simple
one-point model with a constant vertical eddy viscosity. The analyzed results show that the internal fictional effect dominates
the vertical structure of the tidal current in the bottom boundary layer. In the Yellow Sea, the effect of the bottom friction
reduces the current speed by about 20–40% and induces the bottom phase advance by about 15–50 minutes. In the shallower coastal
regions, the effects of bottom topography are more prominent on the vertical structure of tidal currents. The vertical profile
of the tidal current in summer, when the water column is strongly stratified, is disturbed near the pycnocline layer. The
stratification significantly influences the vertical shear and distinct seasonal variation of the tidal current. 相似文献

A repeat hydrographic section has been maintained over two decades along the 180° meridian across the subarctic-subtropical
transition region. The section is naturally divided into at least three distinct zones. In the Subarctic Zone north of 46°N,
the permanent halocline dominates the density stratification, supporting a subsurface temperature minimum (STM). The Subarctic
Frontal Zone (SFZ) between 42°–46°N is the region where the subarctic halocline outcrops. To the south is the Subtropical
Zone, where the permanent thermocline dominates the density stratification, containing a pycnostad of North Pacific Central
Mode Water (CMW). The STM water colder than 4°C in the Subarctic Zone is originated in the winter mixed layer of the Bering
Sea. The temporal variation of its core temperature lags 12–16 months behind the variations of both the winter sea surface
temperature (SST) and the summer STM temperature in the Bering Sea, suggesting that the thermal anomalies imposed on the STM
water by wintertime air-sea interaction in the Bering Sea spread over the western subarctic gyre, reaching the 180° meridian
within a year or so. The CMW in this section originates in the winter mixed layer near the northern edge of the Subtropical
Zone between 160°E and 180°. The CMW properties changed abruptly from 1988 to 1989; its temperature and salinity increased
and its potential density decreased. It is argued that these changes were caused by the climate regime shift in 1988/1989
characterized by weakening of the Aleutian Low and the westerlies and increase in the SST in the subarctic-subtropical transition
region.

We study model climatic temperature and salinity fields and the fields of currents in the 350–1000-m layer. The following
specific features are revealed: Colder waters are observed in the regions with anticyclonic vorticity. At the same time, warmer
waters are detected in the regions with cyclonic vorticity. This temperature effect can be explained by the elevation of temperature
with depth below the main pycnocline. In the region of the Sevastopol anticyclone, at depths greater than 500 m, we observe
a zone of cyclonic rotation of waters. Near the Caucasian coast, in the region of Gelendzhik, we reveal a narrow jet current
existing at a depth of 350 m from March till July.

The rate of the hydrogen sulfide oxidation in the redox zone of the Black Sea and the rate of the hydrogen sulfide formation
due to bacterial sulfate reduction in the upper layer of the anaerobic waters were measured during the period of February–April
1991. The measurements were made using a sulfur radioisotope under conditions close to those in situ. It was established that
the hydrogen sulfide is oxidized in the layer where oxygen and hydrogen sulfide coexist, which is under the upper boundary
of the hydrogen sulfide layer. The maximum rate of the hydrogen sulfide oxidation was recorded within the limits of the density
values δτ of 16.20–16.30, while varying in the layer from 2 to 4.5 μM/day. The average rate of the hydrogen sulfide oxidation
was 1.5–3 times higher than that during the warm season. Sulfide formation was not observed at most of the stations in the
examined lower portion of the pycnocline layer (140 to 400 m depths). Noticeable sulfate reduction was detected only at one
station on the northwestern shelf. A probable reason for such noticeable changes in the sulfur dynamics in the water mass
of the Black Sea may be the intensified hydrodynamics in the upper layers of the water mass during the cold season. The data
suggesting that hydrogen sulfide oxidation proceeds under the hydrogen sulfide boundary indicate the absence of the so called
“suboxic zone” in this basin. 相似文献

To study the long-term variability of the thermohaline and dynamic characteristics of the Black Sea, we use three versions
of climatic fields, namely, the fields reconstructed in the model according to the old (1903–1982) and new (1903–2003) hydrological
climatic data arrays of temperature and salinity and according to the data of satellite altimetry. The analysis of the altimetry-based
climatic fields confirms the distinctions (established earlier according to the old and new data arrays) in the seasonal variability
of the integral characteristics of temperature and salinity and in the structures of hydrophysical fields in the sea. It is
shown that, in the winter-spring season, the thermohaline fields reconstructed according to the new and altimetry data arrays
are characterized by a small elevation of the halocline (pycnocline) and the upper boundary of the cold intermediate layer.
In all seasons, the altimetry-based surface geostrophic currents contain numerous mesoscale eddies with different signs of
rotation. Moreover, in all seasons, the Rim Current reconstructed according to the altimetry data is characterized by a narrower
jet almost along the entire its length. This jet is especially intense near the coasts of West Anatolia.

The analysis is performed on the basis of comparison of the hydrological characteristics of prestrait regions of the Sea of
Marmara. It is shown that, in summer, the Black-Sea waters are weakly mixed with the Mediterranean waters and the levels of
salinity in the prestrait regions differ by 0.6–0.9‰. In winter, the indicated difference increases and the level of salinity
near the entrance of Dardanelles reaches 29‰ and exceeds the level observed near the entrance of Bosporus by 5.5‰. In the
analyzed regions, we observe local temperature maxima and minima near the interface of two water masses. This is explained
by the presence of strong seasonal variations of temperature for the Black-Sea waters and their absence for the Mediterranean
waters. The physical mechanisms responsible for the seasonal variations of the intensity of transformations of the Black-Sea
waters are discussed.

In order to reconstruct the large-scale temperature and salinity fields by the method of optimal interpolation of the archival
data, we compute the correlation functions and analyze the space and time variations of the statistical structure of the fields.
On the sea surface, the thermohaline fields are spatially inhomogeneous. Thus, the correlation functions are anisotropic in
the region of the northwest shelf and close to isotropic in the inner parts of the sea. The values of correlation length vary
from season to season. In the layer of pycnocline, the temperature and salinity fields are anisotropic. In the zonal direction,
the correlation length is 2–3 times greater than in the meridional direction. The indicated anisotropy becomes stronger in
the winter season and weaker in the summer season as a consequence of the seasonal variability of large-scale circulation.
We study the dependence of the error of reconstruction of the fields by the method of optimal interpolation on the form of
approximation of the correlation functions with regard for anisotropy.

A total of 21 surface water samples were collected on the east side of the East China Sea (ECS) (3 sites) and at the Tsushima
Strait (1 site), and 226Ra and 228Ra activities were measured using low-background γ-spectrometry. The 228Ra/226Ra ratios among the samples exhibited notable seasonal variation (228Ra/226Ra = 0.2–2.6) accompanying changes of salinity (31.7–34.7). Seasonal water circulation within the ECS is hypothesized to cause
the change by altering the mixing ratio of 228Ra-rich continental shelf water and 228Ra-poor Kuroshio water. 相似文献

Intrusion of less saline shelf water into the Kuroshio subsurface layer in the East China Sea 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The possible origin and cause of the less saline shelf water detected in the Kuroshio subsurface layer around the shelf edge
of the East China Sea are investigated using observational results obtained in May 1998–2001 in conjunction with a dataset
archived by Japan Oceanographic Data Center and a numerical model. The observations show that subsurface intrusions of less
saline water are always detected in May in layers above 24.5σθ isopycnal surface, and that salinity inversions (i.e., areas
in which the less saline water lies beneath the saline water) are detected around the trough of the Kuroshio frontal eddy
(or wave). Analyses of the archived dataset reveal that the isopycnal surface of 24.5σθ is the deepest layer of the Kuroshio
pycnocline outcropping to the sea surface on the shallow shelf in early spring. Outcropping isopycnals above 24.5σθ encounter
a less saline water plume originating from the Changjiang, especially in the western East China Sea. Thereafter, the less
saline water moves along isopycnal layers and reaches the Kuroshio front around the shelf edge. Numerical models demonstrate
that, when the frontal wave captures the less saline water, the shelf water takes the form of a salinity inversion in the
trough because isohalines in the frontal wave have a phase lag between the upper and lower layers in consequence of the baroclinic
instability. 相似文献

Seasonal and interannual variations of the mixed layer properties in the Antarctic Zone (AZ) south of Tasmania are described using 7 WOCE/SR3 CTD sections and 8 years of summertime SURVOSTRAL XBT and thermosalinograph measurements between Tasmania and Antarctica. The AZ, which extends from the Polar Front (PF) to the Southern Antarctic Circumpolar Current Front (SACCF), is characterized by a 150 m deep layer of cold Winter Water (WW) overlayed in summer by warmer, fresher water mass known as Antarctic Surface Water (AASW). South of Tasmania, two branches of the PF divide the AZ into northern and southern zones with distinct water properties and variability. In the northern AZ (between the northern and southern branches of the PF), the mixed layer depth (MLD) is fairly constant in latitude, being 150 m deep in winter and around 40–60 m in summer. In the southern AZ, the winter MLD decreases from 150 m at the S-PF to 80 m at the SACCF and from 60 to 35 m in summer. Shallower mixed layers in the AZ-S are due to the decrease in the wind speed and stronger upwelling near the Antarctic Divergence. The WW MLD oscillates by ±15 m around its mean value and modest interannual changes are driven by winter wind stress anomalies.The mixed layer is on annual average 1.7 °C warmer, 0.06 fresher and 0.2 kg m−3 lighter in the northern AZ than in the southern AZ. The Levitus (1998) climatology is in agreement with the observed mean summer mixed layer temperature and salinity along the SURVOSTRAL line but underestimates the MLD by 10–20 m. The winter MLD in the climatology is also closed to that observed, but is 0.15 saltier than the observations along the AZ-N of the SR3 line. MLD, temperature and density show a strong seasonal cycle through the AZ while the mixed layer salinity is nearly constant throughout the year. During winter, the AZ MLD is associated with a halocline while during summer it coincides with a thermocline.Interannual variability of the AZ summer mixed layer is partly influenced by large scale processes such as the circumpolar wave which produces a warm anomaly during the summer 1996–1997, and partly by local mechanisms such as the retroflection of the S-PF which introduces cold water across the AZ-N. 相似文献
