Characteristics and mechanisms of the upwelling in the southern Taiwan Strait: a three-dimensional numerical model study

Using a nested circulation model based on the Princeton Ocean Model, we investigate the characteristics and mechanisms of two main upwellings in the southern Taiwan Strait: the Southwest upwelling and the Taiwan Bank upwelling. The Southwest upwelling exists in summer when the southwesterly monsoon dominates, and the Taiwan Bank upwelling occurs over a longer period from May to September. The upslope current over a distinctly widened shelf transports the cold water on-shoreward at the lower layer and the southwesterly monsoon wind drives the cold water to the surface layer, forming the Southwest upwelling, while tidal residual current weakens the upslope advection. For the Taiwan Bank upwelling, the upward transport of the South China Sea water due to the Bank topography carries the cold water from the subsurface layer to the depth of approximately 25 m near the Taiwan Bank, then the strong tidal mixing forces this upwelled water further upward to the surface layer.     

台湾海峡南部上升流区亮氨酸氨肽酶活性的初步研究

2006年夏季,在台湾海峡南部上升流区调查了亮氨酸氨肽酶活性（LAPA）的分布,跟踪分析了上升流过程中该酶活性的变动规律,探讨了环境因子对该海区LAPA的影响及水华过程中亮氨酸氨肽酶的应对机制。结果表明,台湾海峡南部近岸区的IAPA明显高于浅滩区和陆架边缘区,推测溶解有机氮（DON）是影响LAPA的主要因素。上升流过程中,LAPA呈现递增趋势（尤其是表层）,在垂直方向上的分布总体表现为表层〉10m〉15m以深,随着水华的发展,LAPA逐渐升高,浮游植物水华后期产生的大量DON,可诱导亮氨酸氨肽酶表达至最大值。     

东北季风期台湾海峡的逆温现象

利用2006-2008年3个航次水文资料,结合日本海洋数据中心(JODC)的历史温度数据分析了东北季风期台湾海峡的逆温现象。结果显示,除台湾浅滩及海峡西岸浅水区外,几乎整个台湾海峡皆有逆温现象。逆温幅度和发生频率在海峡西部较高,海峡东部及粤东近海较低。逆温层上界深度春季较秋、冬季深,逆温频发区(发生频率大于60%)随着季节南北向移动,秋季频发区的最南端位于厦门近海,冬季扩展至台湾浅滩北部,春季回退至平潭近海。分析表明,浙闽沿岸水随季节南北向伸缩导致了逆温频发区的同步移动。除了季节变化外,逆温现象在2006年和2007年冬季有显著差异,2006年逆温仅出现在海峡西部近岸海域,2007年扩展至海峡东部且向南伸至粤东近岸,浙闽沿岸水的横向伸缩是造成此差异的主因。     

The formation and evolution of the East China Sea winter dense water

On the basis of the historical profile observations and the recent Kuroshio observations,the yearly formation,development and decay of the high density water found between 50 to 100 m isobath over the middle and southern East China Sea continental shelf are anyalysed. The formation of this high density water occurs between November and March of the following year. A possible reason for it is that as the mixed water between the coastal water and the outer sea water transports northward by the Taiwan Warm Current, its density increases by surface cooling. It also mixes with the neighbouring lower density water masses. The transportation and decay of the high density water through April to July are also descussed. They can be ascribed to the seasonal surface layer warming and the fast development of Taiwan Warm Current. The high density water disappears in August.     

Source water of two-pronged northward flow in the southern Taiwan Strait in summer

It is generally accepted that the flow is northward in the Taiwan Strait during summer and that the strongest current is detected in the Penghu Channel between the Penghu Islands and the Taiwan Island. This current, the eastern prong flow, is made up of waters from the South China Sea (SCS) and the Kuroshio. North of the Penghu Islands, the current veers to the west before turning northward again because of the shallow Chang-Yuen Ridge, and extends westward off the coast of Taiwan. There is a second prong of northward flow existing between the Taiwan Bank and the China mainland coast. Here, we show with observational data as well as results from a numerical model that this water receives little influence from the Kuroshio and is distinctively cooler, fresher, less oxygenated and more acidic, and contains more dissolved inorganic carbon than waters at the same density level of the eastern prong. Evidence is provided to show that the source water of the western prong should be the subsurface water from the strong upslope advection flowing northward from the SCS to the southern Taiwan Strait and upwelling along the coast during the favorable southwesterly wind. Subsequently, the upwelled water flows over the saddle west of the Taiwan Bank and joins the main flow northwest of the Penghu Islands.     

台湾浅滩沉积物粒度特征及输运趋势

2007年7月,对台湾浅滩43个站位进行了表层底质采样,在室内用Mastersizer 2000型激光粒度仪获得了沉积物的粒径分布,并用矩法计算其粒径参数.研究区内沉积物类型多为砂和含砾砂,平均粒径集中于0Φ到3Φ之间.福建—广东沿岸海域一带沉积略细,沿岸带外侧的浅槽,以及台湾浅滩东北边坡与南边坡沉积略粗.用粒径趋势分析计算结果显示,台湾浅滩东北方向与偏西方向的沉积物均向浅滩核部汇聚;而浅滩核心区的粒度参数比较接近,沉积物输运趋势弱化.     

Transport and transformation of surface water masses across the Mascarene Plateau during the Northeast Monsoon season

The Mascarene Plateau lies in the south-west Indian Ocean between the islands of Mauritius and the Seychelles Bank, and is characterised by a series of shallow banks separated by deep (>1 000 m), narrow channels. The plateau acts as an obstruction to the general ocean circulation in this region, separating the westward-flowing South Equatorial Current (SEC) into two branches downstream of the plateau. In this article, we present the results of a survey conducted along the entire Mascarene Plateau during the Northeast Monsoon, in October–November 2008. In addition, data from Argo floats were used to determine the origin of water masses entering this region. The plateau contains three gaps through which branches of the SEC are channelled. The northern, central and southern gaps receive 14.93 Sv, 14.41 Sv and 6.19 Sv, respectively. Although there are differences in water-mass properties to the west and east of the Mascarene Plateau due to mixing, the SEC acts as a sharp boundary between water masses of southern and northern Indian Ocean origin. Mixing occurs in the central gap between intermediate water masses (Red Sea Water [RSW] and Antarctic Intermediate Water [AAIW]) as well as in the upper waters (Subtropical Surface Water [STSW] and Indonesian Throughflow Water [ITW]). Through the northern gap, mixing occurs between Arabian Sea High-Salinity Water (ASHSW), ITW and Tropical Surface Water (TSW), while through the southern gap, mixing occurs between STSW and ITW. North Indian Deep Water (NIDW) is present in the region but the plateau appears to have no effect on it.     

南海东北部海底沉积物波的形态、粒度特征及物源、成因分析

在南海东北部广泛发育沉积物波。通过高分辨率多波束数据、地震剖面以及重力柱状样,对沉积物波的形态特征、粒度特征、物源以及形成机制进行了分析。研究表明大致以台湾浅滩南海底峡谷为界,北侧为近北东向展布,南侧为近南北向展布。对其分布规律、地貌和形态特征及重力柱状样粒度分析表明这些沉积物波为浊流成因。沉积物波的发育与新生代晚期研究区的构造活动密切相关,自距今6.5 Ma以来台湾造山运动使台湾岛强烈抬升剥蚀,这些剥蚀物为研究区提供了大量的陆源物质,而在南海东北部陆坡区大量发育的峡谷-冲沟系统为陆缘物质向下陆坡的输送提供了良好的通道。研究区西侧的东沙隆起长期处于抬升剥蚀状态,这种抬升剥蚀也为研究区沉积物波的发育提供了部分物源。随着坡度的减缓,浊流沉积物开始堆积,在台湾浅滩南海底峡谷的北侧形成了展布方向与冲沟垂直的沉积物波,而在南侧由于台湾浅滩南海底峡谷发生转向,浊流从水道中漫溢出来,沉积物堆积下来,形成了与原先水道近于垂直的近南北向的沉积物波。     

闽南－台湾浅滩渔场N／P比值的空间分布

１９８７年１２月—１９８８年１１月对闽南－台湾浅滩渔场上升流生态系进行了调查研究。研究结果表明，本研究海区的海水Ｎ／Ｐ比值的空间分布与水团的分布具有密切的关系。各水团的Ｎ／Ｐ比值不遵守Ｒｅｄｆｉｅｌｄ常数１５：１，并且在水团间存在一定的差别。在研究水团的分布及划分中，Ｎ／Ｐ比值可作一较好的参考值。闽浙沿岸水、次表层水和中深层水的Ｎ／Ｐ比值大于１５；海峡南部混合水、海峡暖水、夏季近岸涌升水和浅滩南部涌升水的Ｎ／Ｐ比值小于１５。前者主要是入海径流及有机体的充分分解所致，后者则为浮游植物对ＮＯ３－Ｎ和ＰＯ４－Ｐ的大量吸收及ＮＯ３－Ｎ和ＰＯ４－Ｐ再生速率上差异的结果。本文还讨论了水团的分布对营养盐和叶绿素分布的影响。

热带地区积云对流的长期变化特征

使用１９７９年１月至１９８４年１２月向外长波辐射（ＯＬＲ）资料，对热带地区积云对流的长期变化特征进行了研究。结果表明：热带地区积云对流活动存在显著的季节变化，冬季积云对流区主要是东西向，位于南印度洋和西太平洋的近赤道地区；夏季则北移至北印度洋和菲律宾附近的西太平洋地区。低纬地区积云对流活动存在明显的季节性位移，北印度洋地区的积云对流活动主要集中在５—１０月，７—８月位置最北；北半球热带西太平洋地区的积云对流活动则主要集中在６—１１月，８—９月位置最北。标准差分析表明，冬季北半球热带西太平洋、赤道中太平洋及热带印度洋东部地区积云对流的年际变化最明显。经验正交函数（ＥＯＦ）分析的主要空间型反映了赤道中太平洋、热带西太平洋、阿拉伯海和副热带西太平洋地区的积云对流活动存在一定的关系。结合遥相关计算还表明秋云对流存在４种遥相关型，即２种东西向偶极型涛动型、西太平洋型和北印度洋型。     

南黄海和东海毛颚类生态特征的研究Ⅰ.数量分布的特征

根据国家海洋局1977年12月份至1978年11月份在黄海南部和东海(28°~34°N,120°30'~127°00'E)广大海域进行周年逐月份的12航次综合调查资料,对该海域毛颚类数量变动、时空分布及其与环境因子的关系进行了分析.结果表明,本调查区毛颚类的数量以6~9月份较高,7月份为年最高值.1~4月份为年低值期,尤以4月份为最低谷.其中在数量上取主导作用的种类是肥胖箭虫(Sagitta enflata)、强壮箭虫(S.crassa)拿卡箭虫(S.nagae)和百陶箭虫(S.bedoti)等种类.在平面分布上,长江口以北毛颚类数量一般高于长江口以南的海域,在南黄海,除夏季外,其他季节均有出现高值.在东海高密集区一般出现在不同水系交汇区,尤其在长江冲淡水、沿岸水和外海高温高盐水交汇的锋面最为密集.这对于不同水系在研究区内运动和消长有一定的指示意义.     

Uncertainty Reduction of Estimated Geostrophic Volume Transports with Altimeter Observations East of Taiwan

The common geostrophic estimation of ocean current velocity uses only water temperature and conductivity profiles. The geostrophic volume transport of a western boundary current, like the Taiwan Current (Kuroshio east of Taiwan), between the coast and its eastern boundary can be easily estimated based on hydrographic survey data. But the eastern boundary of the Taiwan Current is very uncertain due to extremely variable hydrographic conditions. This uncertainty is strongly correlated with the propagating mesoscale eddies originating from the interior of the western North Pacific Ocean. The uncertainty of estimated transport can be greatly reduced if eddy distribution is considered when determining the integration boundaries with the assistance of satellite altimeter measurements. Eight hydrographic surveys east of Taiwan between November 1992 and June 1996 are demonstrated in this study. The average geostrophic transport of the Taiwan Current with a reference set to 1000 dbar at 22°N between the east coast of Taiwan and 124°E is 22.9 ±14.2 Sv and changes to 22.1 ± 8.3 Sv, the uncertainty of which is nearly halved after taking account of the eddy distribution. The estimation uncertainty is insensitive to vertical displacements of the reference level within the depth range between 800 and 2000 dbar. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

2006年9月南海北部表层温盐场的走航观测

通过2006年9月南海北部开放航次的走航观测,得到了该海区多个断面的表层温度、盐度分布曲线.QuikScat海面风场资料显示观测期间处于西南季风向东北季风的转换阶段,走航观测所得的温、盐资料显示出在这一季风转换的特殊阶段该海区表层的水文特征.珠江口冲淡水的扩散范围在季风转向前后有显著的变化,低盐的冲淡水在西南季风阶段向珠江口外海区的东南方延伸较远,而在东北季风阶段则受珠江径流量、南海北部表层环流等因素的影响收缩至珠江口附近.闽南近岸和台湾浅滩南部表层具有低温高盐特征,但CTD资料表明台湾浅滩区域存在上升流,结合风场资料,可证实观测期间此处的上升流由海流-地形因素所造成.     

The sea surface microlayer: Biology, chemistry and anthropogenic enrichment

Recent studies increasingly point to the interface between the world's atmosphere and hydrosphere (the sea-surface microlayer) as an important biological habitat and a collection point for anthropogenic materials. Newly developed sampling techniques collect different qualitative and quantitative fractions of the upper sea surface from depths of less than one micron to several centimeters.The microlayer provides a habitat for a biota, including the larvae of many commercial fishery species, which are often highly enriched in density compared to subsurface water only a few cm below. Common enrichments for bacterioneuston, phytoneuston, and zooneuston are 10²−10⁴, 1−10², and 1−10, respectively. The trophic relationships or integrated functioning of these neustonic communities have not been examined.Surface tension forces provide a physically stable microlayer, but one which is subjected to greater environmental and climatic variation than the water column. A number of poorly understood physical processes control the movement and flux of materials within and through the microlayer. The microlayer is generally coated with a natural organic film of lipid and fatty acid material overlying a polysaccharide protein complex.The microlayer serves as both a source and a sink for materials in the atmosphere and the water column. Among these materials are large quantities of anthropogenic substances which frequently occur at concentrations 10²−10⁴ greater than these in the water column. These include plastics, tar lumps, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, chlorrinated hydrocarbons, and potentially toxic metals, such as, lead, copper, zinc, and nickel. How the unique processes occurring in the microlayer affect the fate of anthropogenic substances is not yet clear. Many important questions remain to be examined.     

长江口邻近海域余流的基本特征分析

根据2005年7月、2005年11月和2006年5月在长江口及其邻近海域进行的大范围水文调查资料,深入分析该海域余流的平面分布,垂直变化,大、小潮变化,季节变化等特征。结果表明,所测区域影响余流的因素很多,有底形、斜压、径流量、风应力、底摩擦、台湾暖流、浙江沿岸流、江苏沿岸流以及各因素间的相互作用。     

黄海暖流源区海表面温度锋面的结构及季节内演变

利用1985～2002年月均和每8天平均的AVHRR Pathfinder卫星海表面温度数据,分析了黄海暖流源区海表面温度锋面的分布特征及其季节和季节内演变过程的规律.分析结果表明,黄海暖流源区海表面温度锋面只在冬季及其前后出现,且是一个包含南北两支锋面的锋面系统,其北支锋面位于33°～34°N之间,大体呈东西走向,南支锋面沿长江浅滩边缘,呈西北东南走向,作者称之为黄海暖流源区锋面.该锋面从11月下旬于济州岛西部生成并向西北方向扩展,至1,2月份达到最大程度,于2月下旬后向东南方向退缩并在3月份至5月份之间消失.在该锋面系统的生长期和衰退期,其南北两支锋面有时于西端连接在一起而形成指向西北的舌状锋面.黄海暖流源区锋面的演变过程与黄海暖流的演变过程紧密相关,也对黄东海的质量和热量交换有重要影响.
