Seasonal variation of mesoscale eddy intensity in the global ocean

Mesoscale eddies are a prominent oceanic phenomenon that plays an important role in oceanic mass transport and energy conversion. Characterizing by rotational speed, the eddy intensity is one of the most fundamental properties of an eddy. However, the seasonal spatiotemporal variation in eddy intensity has not been examined from a global ocean perspective. In this study, we unveil the seasonal spatiotemporal characteristics of eddy intensity in the global ocean by using the latest satellite-alti...     

四种全球大洋水汽数据产品的比较分析

文章比较了卫星专用传感器微波成像仪/探测仪(SSM/I&SSMIS)、遥感系统数据集(RSS V7R01)、欧洲中期天气预报中心第5代再分析数据(ERA5)和现代回顾分析的研究与应用第2版数据(MERRA-2) 4种观测和再分析资料在刻画全球大洋水汽气候态中的异同点, 初步探究了不同尺度的大气柱水汽总量(TCWV)的变化特征和长期趋势。研究结果表明, 4种数据TCWV的空间分布、季节和年际变化较为一致。从1988至2018年, TCWV总体呈增加趋势, 其中热带海洋的年际变化显著, 增加趋势较强, 且和厄尔尼诺-南方涛动(ENSO)高度相关。利用再分析数据做短时间(如1991—1997年)的TCWV趋势分析时要慎重使用ERA5和MERRA-2的数据。在研究热带区域长期水汽变化趋势时, 需谨慎使用MERRA-2的数据。     

卡里马塔海峡水体交换的季节变化

Four trawl-resistant bottom mounts, with acoustic Doppler current profilers(ADCPs) embedded, were deployed in the Karimata Strait from November 2008 to June 2015 as part of the South China Sea-Indonesian Seas Transport/Exchange and Impact on Seasonal Fish Migration(SITE) Program, to estimate the volume and property transport between the South China Sea and Indonesian seas via the strait. The observed current data reveal that the volume transport through the Karimata Strait exhibits significant seasonal variation. The winteraveraged(from December to February) transport is –1.99 Sv(1 Sv=1×10~6 m~3/s), while in the boreal summer(from June to August), the average transport is 0.69 Sv. Moreover, the average transport from January 2009 to December2014 is –0.74 Sv(the positive/negative value indicates northward/southward transport). May and September are the transition period. In May, the currents in the Karimata Strait turn northward, consistent with the local monsoon. In September, the southeasterly trade wind is still present over the strait, driving surface water northward, whereas the bottom flow reverses direction, possibly because of the pressure gradient across the strait from north to south.

Seasonal variation of water temperature in the Seto Inland Sea

The seasonal variation of water temperature in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan is examined using data analysis and numerical experiments and is shown to be controlled by heat exchange through the sea surface and horizontal heat dispersion from the Pacific Ocean. The average water temperature goes down from the Pacific Ocean to the center of the Seto Inland Sea indicating that 4.0 to 6.0×10¹⁵ cal day^?1 (1.6 to 2.5×10¹⁶ joule day^?1) of heat is transported from the Pacific Ocean to the Seto Inland Sea and is lost through the sea surface. The amplitude of seasonal variation of water temperature is large at the center of the Seto Inland Sea and the maximum water temperature is reached first at Bisan Straits and last at Iyo-Nada.     

Seasonal variation and formation mechanism of the South China Sea warm water

The South China Sea warm water (SCSWW) is identified as the warm water body withtemperature no less than 28℃ . There are three stages in the seasonal variation of the SCSWW. The SCSWW expands rapidly and deepens quickly in the developing stage. The warm water thickness decreases near the coast of Vietnam and increases near Palawan Island in the steady stage. The SCSWW flinches southward while its thickness off Palawan Island remains no less than 50 m in the flinching stage. The maximum thickness of the SCSWW is always located near the southeastern SCS. The seasonal variation of the SCSWW has a close relationship with seasonal variation of the thermocline. According to the analysis of the numerical experiment results from the Princeton Ocean Model (POM), the mechanism of the seasonal variation of the SCSWW can be interpreted as: (1) in the developing stage, the rapidly expanding and thickening feature of the SCSWW is mainly due to buoyancy flux effect (67% contribution). The weak wind and anticyclonic wi     

珠江冲淡水季节变化及动力成因

依据珠江口及其附近海域2006-2007年4个航次的CTD资料,分析珠江冲淡水的扩展形态和垂向结构,结果表明:表层冲淡水仅在夏季同时向粤西和粤东扩展,其余季节以西向扩展为主,而底层冲淡水全年向西扩展;冲淡水的主体部分大致位于10 m水深之上,但最大厚度在秋季可以超过20 m水深。通过结合同期风、海流、潮汐资料分析发现径流和风是控制冲淡水扩展范围和垂向结构的关键因子,夏季珠江冲淡水的范围最广,其次是春季,冬季最窄;夏季西南季风有利于其向东及向外海扩展,东北季风驱使珠江冲淡水向西扩展并制约冲淡水向外海扩散;粤西的水位梯度全年都驱动沿岸流向西流,而粤东的水位梯度仅在夏季有利于珠江冲淡水东向扩散,相应的粤东沿岸流在夏季指向东北,其余季节均指向西南。

Seasonal barotropic sea surface height fluctuation in relation to regional ocean mass variation

A consistency between seasonal fluctuation of actual sea surface height (SSH) and those caused by mass and density variations in gyre-scale regions is examined. The SSH obtained from satellite altimetry (altimetric SSH) is adopted as the actual SSH. SSH caused by mass variation (mass-related SSH) is simulated using a barotropic global ocean model forced by water flux, wind stress and surface pressure. SSH caused by density variation (steric SSH) is calculated from water density profile, i.e. temperature and salinity profiles. The model SSH well represents mass-related SSH for gyre-scale regional means, and seasonal fluctuation of the altimetric SSH corrected for the model SSH is similar to that of steric SSH above a pressure level larger than 300 dbar. The results indicate that the mass-related SSH does not much respond to the baroclinic adjustment to the seasonally varying wind stress curl. The mass-related SSH forced by wind stress and surface pressure should be accounted for regional evaluation, though it is not necessary for global mean evaluation. Detection of steric SSH from altimetric SSH would be useful for assimilation approaches in which the altimetric SSH is treated as the variable reflecting subsurface temperature and salinity.     

表面增暖形态决定了全球水汽加温度直减率反馈的不确定性

气候反馈通常是利用与全球平均表面温度升高相关的辐射效应变化来评估的。但是反馈的不确定性不仅仅是全球平均表面温度升高的函数。全球气候模式的预测表明,海表面温度变化的地域不同,给区域尺度上的大气环流和降水响应带来了重大不确定性。在本文中我们证明了表面增暖的空间格局是造成水汽-直减率综合反馈的不确定性的主要因素。基于运用辐射核理论计算的31个气候模型中,气温和相对湿度变化的全球平均辐射效应证明了这一观点。我们的结果突出了区域气候变化对气候反馈不确定性的重要贡献,并确定了世界上限制表面增暖形态对提高气候预测能力最有效的区域。     

济州岛邻近海域高密水的季节变异特性

东海中部陆架高密水在其形成、演变的过程中向东海北部迁移。冬、春和夏季在东海北部济州岛以南海域存在着一高密（条件密度σｔ高于２５．００）、高溶解氧（高于５．０×１０－３）及高盐或次高盐（３４．００左右）性质的水体。韩国以南５０～１００ｍ等深线附近海域也有一高盐、高溶解氧的高密水带。Ｔ－Ｓ和Ｔ－Ｏ２点聚图表明这两块高密水基本属同一水体，韩国以南高密水可能是由济州岛以南高密水经济州岛东岸或东、西岸两侧海区迁移过来的     

南海表面浮力通量、水型变性及南海"暖水"的消长分析

利用英国南安普敦海洋中心(SOC)海-气界面的热量和淡水通量资料以及世界大洋图集(WOA01)的海面温度和盐度资料计算了南海表面各月的有效浮力通量及水型变性矢量场,分析了南海表层暖水形成和发展的季节性特征。研究结果表明,南海表层暖水的发展、维持以及消亡在很大程度上受到海洋表层浮力通量的影响;此外,南海上层水体密度的垂直结构和变化也深受表面浮力通量和表层水型变性的影响。在中、北部,南海的垂向结构季节性变化较为明显,其中冬季表层水体的下沉强度最大,深度最深,而夏季表层水体却无下沉趋势。

全球热带海洋海表温度场异常对北极海冰的影响

本文利用1951−2021年哈德莱中心提供的海冰和海温最新资料以及美国国家海洋和大气管理局气候预报中心提供的NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,分析探讨了北极海冰70余年的长期变化特征,进而研究了其快速减少与热带海温场异常变化之间的联系,揭示了在全球热带海洋海温场变化与北极海冰之间存在密切联系的事实。结果表明,北极海冰异常变化最显著区域出现在格陵兰海、卡拉海和巴伦支海。热带不同海区对北极海冰的影响存在明显时滞时间和强度差异,热带大西洋的影响相比偏早,印度洋次之,太平洋偏晚。热带大西洋、印度洋和中东太平洋海温异常影响北极海冰的最佳时间分别是后者滞后26个月、30个月和34个月,全球热带海洋影响北极海冰的时滞时间为33个月。印度洋SST对北极海冰的影响程度最强,其次是太平洋,最弱是大西洋。全球热带海洋对北极海冰的影响过程中,热带东太平洋和印度洋起主导作用。当全球热带海洋SST出现正（负）距平时,北极海冰会出现偏少（多）的趋势,而AO、PNA、NAO对北极海冰变化起重要作用,是热带海洋与北极海冰相系数的重要“纽带”。而AO、PNA和NAO不仅受热带海洋SST的影响,同时也受太平洋年代际振荡PDO和大西洋多年代际AMO的影响,这一研究为未来北极海冰快速减少和全球气候变暖机理的深入研究提供理论支撑。     

Seasonal and areal variation of continental aerosol in the surface air over the western North Pacific region

Weekly aerosol samples were collected for two years from 1981 at six stations in the western North Pacific region. The samples were analyzed for aluminum to determine the mineral dust concentration in the air. By combining our data with observations in the central and eastern North Pacific by a US research group, the following results and conclusions have been obtained. Spring peaks in atmospheric mineral dust were observed at all the stations accompanied byKosa episodes (hazes due to mineral dust of Chinese origin). The spring peaks, however, varied from year to year. The mean concentration of mineral dust depends not only on the distance from the Asian coast but also on the latitude of the sampling station. The half-decrease distance of the atmospheric mineral dust turned out to be 500–600 km for all latitudes in the western North Pacific. This indicates that the rate of deposition of mineral dust in the western North Pacific is much larger than that in the central and eastern North Pacific.     

山东半岛东部近岸表层沉积物放射性核素的季节性变化及其环境指示意义

基于2019年4月、7月、10月、12月渤黄海共享航次取得山东半岛东部近岸H01和H02站位多个季节沉积物样品,通过低本底γ能谱仪分析得到其表层沉积物放射性核素7Be、210Pbex、228Thex和 137Cs活度数据。结果表明,短半衰期核素7Be、228Thex与长半衰期核素210Pbex、137Cs在同一站位的季节分布存在差异,同一核素在H01和H02站位的季节分布也存在差异;H01站位的7Be和228Thex,H02站位的210Pbex和137Cs,受表层沉积物粒度影响较不明显,7Be和228Thex的季节变化受悬浮物质的输运和沉降的影响显著,而210Pbex和137Cs更多指示的是环流作用下的沉积物再分配;与H02相比,H01站位表层沉积物核素变化受大气沉降影响较低。H01和H02站位分别位于“Ω”形泥质体顶部和东部边缘,其物源和沉积动力环境存在差异,放射性核素7Be、210Pbex、228Thex和137Cs在示踪物质输运和沉降过程中具有重要意义。     

Seasonal metal fluxes derived by the interaction of surface water and groundwater in an aquaculture estuary

Submarine groundwater discharge(SGD) plays a major role as a conveyor of metals to coastal waters. However,the seasonal change of metal fluxes derived through SGD is unclear. Here, we evaluated the behaviours and fluxes of trace metals(Mn, Fe, Ba, Pb, U, Cr, Zn, Cu) in an estuary under different seasonal conditions. The behaviours of trace metals revealed that SGD was the source of Mn(3.51 mmol/(m²·d)), Fe(0.174 mmol/(m²·d)) and Ba(0.024 mmol/(m²·d)), but the Cu ...
