赤道太平洋海域上层海洋热含量及其变化机制的诊断分析

基于1992—2015年国际共享的ECCO v4 (Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean Version 4)同化产品,利用热含量控制方程定量地诊断赤道太平洋(118°E—75°W, 5°S—5°N, 0～300m)和Ni?o 3.4区(170°W—120°W, 5°S—5°N,0～80m)这两块区域热含量变化机制。对于去掉季节平均后的年际变化,在赤道太平洋地区,时间趋势项主要由经向输送和海表热通量项共同驱动。通过5°N断面的输送决定了时间趋势项的幅值和正负符号。在Ni?o3.4区,时间趋势项主要由海表热通量项和热量输送项共同驱动,其中垂向输送对总输送贡献最大。赤道太平洋地区经向热量输送异常领先于Ni?o3.4区垂向热量输送异常,这解释了在年际尺度上赤道太平洋热含量异常领先Ni?o3.4指数变化的原因。尽管EP(Eastern Pattern)型El Ni?o和CP(Central Pattern)型El Ni?o有许多不同之处,合成分析表明,两类El Ni?o的共同点为:在赤道太平洋地区,两类El Ni?o事件的热量输送异常在发展期和衰退期由经向输送主导;在Ni?o 3.4区, EP型El Ni?o和CP型El Ni?o的热量输送在发展期和衰退期由垂向输送主导。     

ElNio夏季太平洋上空垂直环流特征及我国汛期降水

本文利用NCAR(美国国家大气研究中心)1976年太平洋各层风场资料,计算了0°—50°N,105°E—110°W范围内,7月850hPa,700hPa,500hPa,300hPa,250hPa和200hPa各层上的垂直运动,并与叶笃正等所作的太平洋上空夏季平均环流特征作比较得出:(1)常年Walker环流明显,而E1 Ni(?)o发生年热带西太平洋上升运动减弱,东太平洋空气下沉区变成了强上升区,Walker环流下沉区东移至110°W以东;(2)常年热带西太平洋Hadley环流不明显,沿160°E以东Hadley环流越来越清楚,呈向东递增的趋势,而E1 Ni(?)o年Hadley环流东西变化甚为复杂,Hadley环流的上升支并不在赤道附近,而移至10°N左右,明显较常年偏北,Hadley环流也变成自热带向副热带倾斜的环流圈;(3)E1 Ni(?)o发生年,夏季以淮河为中心的空气上升区变成下沉区,而37°N以北的华北地区仍是上升区,华北多雨,所以出现Ⅰ型降水。     

热带太平洋第二类El Nio事件及其对中国气候的影响

基于热带太平洋次表层海温资料,分析了热带太平洋第二类El Nio事件海温异常的分布特征及其形成机制,讨论了与经典El Nio事件、El Nio Modoki、WP(西太平洋暖池)及CT(冷舌)El Nio事件之间的关系,揭示了第二类El Nio事件对中国降水的影响,得到以下结论。(1)第二类El Nio事件表征为热带太平洋次表层海温异常第三模态,占总方差贡献的4.7%。在海洋表面层,第二类El Nio事件暖期赤道东太平洋为沿赤道西伸的冷舌,热带中西太平洋为环绕冷舌的马蹄型大范围暖区。该型具11a和30~40a年代际振荡及3~4a年际变率,峰值多出现在春季。第二类El Nio事件是热带太平洋异常海面风应力场和赤道两侧的风应力旋度共同作用的结果,在赤道东印度洋-中西太平洋与赤道东太平洋-南美洲上空出现以反号垂直运动为特征的异常Walker环流。(2)El Nio Modoki与第二类El Nio事件有密切关系,它实质上是第二类El Nio事件次表层海温与近海面大气相互作用的结果,捕捉了第二类El Nio事件的主要信息。(3)第二类El Nio事件对中国春季及夏初降水有一定影响。在事件暖期,东海地区存在一个显著的异常反气旋性环流,其南侧的中国南方地区盛行异常东北气流,水汽来源减少,导致该地区少雨,其西侧的异常偏南气流北上直达华北地区,异常多水汽向北输送,并与北方的偏北流场相遇,导致该地区降水偏多。在第二类El Nio事件冷期相反。本文结果还指出,WP与CT El Nio事件是由经典El Nio事件第一模态与El Nio Modoki事件组合而成,它们不是独立的El Nio类型。此外,还讨论了夏半年El Nio事件对大气环流影响的物理过程。     

黑潮入侵南海的强弱与太平洋年代际变化及厄尔尼诺-南方涛动现象的关系

在黑潮入侵南海强弱的问题上,到底是太平洋年代际变化(Pacific Decadal Oscillation,PDO)还是厄尔尼诺-南方涛动(El Nio-Southern Oscillation,ENSO)现象在起关键作用,目前还存在着较大争议。本文先以高盐水作为黑潮入侵强弱的示踪物,用120°E断面的高盐水数据和北赤道流分叉点(North Equator Current Bifurcation,NEC-Y)的南北变动进行相关分析,接着,进一步用学者所用的黑潮入侵指数(KI指数,Kuroshio intrusion index和NEC指数,North Equatorial Current index)与北赤道流分叉点南北变动进行相关分析。最后,用EMD(Empirical Mode Decomposition)方法和相关关系分析法分别分析了PDO指数、Nio3.4指数与北赤道流分叉点南北变动的关系并用NECP风场数据探讨其影响机制。结果表明:(1)通过对120°E断面的高盐水的KI指数、NEC指数与NEC-Y的相关分析,表明了北赤道流分叉点的南北变动能够很好地指代黑潮入侵南海的强弱;(2)通过PDO指数和Nio3.4指数与北赤道流分叉点的南北变动的相关性分析,发现PDO指数、Nio3.4指数与北赤道流分叉点的南北变动都具有较好的相关性,都在0.5水平。这些良好的相关性表明了PDO和ENSO对黑潮入侵南海的强弱都具有重要的影响;(3)当处于厄尔尼诺年(拉尼娜)时,赤道太平洋发生西(东)风异常,使得北赤道流分叉点偏北(南),使吕宋岛东侧的黑潮流速减弱(加强),黑潮入侵南海增强(减弱);当PDO处于暖(冷)阶段时,会加强热带太平洋的西(东)风异常,使得黑潮入侵南海增强(减弱)。     

南海海面高度异常与厄尔尼诺和大气环流的关系

利用经验正交函数分解和相关分析等方法分析研究了南海和赤道太平洋的海面高度异常、海面温度异常和风异常之间的相关关系.得出南海海面高度异常EOF第一模态为ENSO模态,方差贡献达到44.7％.在厄尔尼诺(El Ni(n)o)期间,整个南海海面下降,SSHA呈现不同的分布状态,本文讨论了爆发与下半年的El Ni(n)o期间南海SSHA呈现的典型分布状态.El Ni(n)o的先兆阶段南海中部为SSHA低值区,鼎盛阶段南部SSHA增大形成南高北低的分布状态,恢复阶段SSHA分布与El Ni(n)o过后是否发生La Ni(n)a密切相关.南海海面高度异常与大气环流存在明显的相关关系.El Ni(n)o期间,Hadley环流的加强使得南海东部和赤道西太平洋水交换加强,水温的降低和海水的流失使南海海面下降,Walker环流结构和强度的变化则进一步促进了南海SSH的下降.El Ni(n)o期间,南海海面高度会较常年偏低.     

赤道太平洋海域上层海洋热含量及其变化机制的诊断分析*

基于1992—2015年国际共享的ECCO v4 (Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean Version 4)同化产品, 利用热含量控制方程定量地诊断赤道太平洋(118°E—75°W, 5°S—5°N, 0~300m)和Niño 3.4区(170°W—120°W, 5°S—5°N, 0~80m)这两块区域热含量变化机制。对于去掉季节平均后的年际变化, 在赤道太平洋地区, 时间趋势项主要由经向输送和海表热通量项共同驱动。通过5°N断面的输送决定了时间趋势项的幅值和正负符号。在Niño 3.4区, 时间趋势项主要由海表热通量项和热量输送项共同驱动, 其中垂向输送对总输送贡献最大。赤道太平洋地区经向热量输送异常领先于Niño 3.4区垂向热量输送异常, 这解释了在年际尺度上赤道太平洋热含量异常领先Niño 3.4指数变化的原因。尽管EP(Eastern Pattern)型El Niño和CP(Central Pattern)型El Niño有许多不同之处, 合成分析表明, 两类El Niño的共同点为: 在赤道太平洋地区, 两类El Niño事件的热量输送异常在发展期和衰退期由经向输送主导; 在Niño 3.4区, EP型El Niño和CP型El Niño的热量输送在发展期和衰退期由垂向输送主导。     

冬季北太平洋的温带气旋活动及其与前期秋季北极海冰的关系

基于欧洲中期天气预报中心(ECMWF)的ERA_interim全球再分析数据集,利用客观算法识别和追踪温带气旋,分析了1979—2014年冬季(12月—次年2月)北太平洋(120°E~120°W,20°N~80°N)的温带气旋活动特征及其变化,探讨了冬季风暴路径与秋季北极海冰异常的关系。北太平洋温带气旋活动的气候态显示为自日本以东洋面至阿拉斯加湾北部的风暴路径。对30°N以北气旋活动频率异常的EOF分析显示其第一模态为太平洋气旋活动的南北向偶极子结构,表示风暴路径南北摆动的变化特征,且有向北偏移的趋势。第二模态的空间分布表现为40°N~60°N之间的大陆沿岸和太平洋洋面上呈相反的分布形势。时间系数的回归分析显示,冬季太平洋风暴路径的南北摆动与秋季(9—11月)东西伯利亚海-波弗特海海冰的异常显著相关。该海区秋季海冰减少导致冬季阿留申低压区呈高压异常,西风急流北移,45°N~75°N之间的大气斜压性增强而45°N以南大气斜压性减弱,从而使风暴路径向45°N以北偏移。     

基于SODA数据的印度洋表层和次表层热含量变化及其与ENSO的关系

采用1950年1月至1999年12月SODA海洋上层温度的月平均资料及同期的NCEP月平均风场资料,研究了印度洋表层和次表层热含量年际变化的特征以及与海面风场的关系.通过对热带印度洋海区上层热含量异常的经验正交函数分解,发现表层与次表层热含量主要模态的分布不同,表层热含量主要模态的时、空分布与前人对海表温度(SST)异常的研究结果基本一致,第一模的空间分布为全海盆一致型,春季(夏季) 表层热含量第一模的时间序列与前一年的秋季(冬季)Ni(n)o3区SST异常的时间序列有密切的关系;第二模的空间分布为东西偶极子型,并在秋季与4-8个月前的Ni(n)o3区SST异常有密切的关系;次表层热含量异常第一模为东西偶极子型,冬季热带太平洋异常通过影响印度洋的海面风导致的海洋动力调整,进而影响印度洋次年春季次表层热含量东西偶极子型异常; 次表层热含量异常第二模在10°S以北是全海盆一致型,但却与Ni(n)o3区SST异常在统计学上无关.     

南海海面温度与Ni(n)o/DMI指数年际变异的相关性分析

利用NCEP的Reynolds最优插值海面温度产品(1981年12月-2004年10月),对南海海表温度场的年际变化与热带太平洋El Ni(n)o指数(Ni(n)o1 2, Ni(n)o3.4, Ni(n)o5和Ni(n)o6指数)以及印度洋的偶极子指数(DMI)进行相关性分析.研究表明南海海面温度(SST)的变异与Ni(n)o1 2指数的变异相关性较强,南海海表温度场平均滞后Ni(n)o1 2指数4.77个月时,二者相关达到最大,平均为0.60; Ni(n)o3.4指数次之,南海海洋表层温度距平(SSTA)平均滞后Ni(n)o3.4指数6.67个月时,二者相关系数最大,平均为0.49.南海海表温度场对应的伴随形态进一步表明,南海随Ni(n)o1 2, Ni(n)o3.4指数出现正异常并有增暖现象,其中南海SST异常随Ni(n)o1 2指数变化的强度更大.并且几乎整个南海区域均超过95%的置信水平,当Ni(n)o1 2达到1个标准差(即异常增暖1.04 ℃),南海平均增暖幅度为0.16 ℃,越南东南外海和南海16°N以北区域SSTA增幅最大为0.20 ℃.表征西北太平洋海表温度场的Ni(n)o5和Ni(n)o6指数对ENSO现象的响应与南海表层温度场线性相关性不显著.研究还表明,南海海表温度场的年际变化与印度洋偶极子指数(DMI)的相关性不强,相关性仅体现在南海的卡里曼丹岛西南角的局部海域.     

冬季赤道中东太平洋海温异常对北半球两大洋风暴轴协同变化的可能影响

利用NCEP/NCAR(National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research)和NOAA(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)提供的再分析资料和CPC(National Climate Prediction Center)提供的Nino3.4指数,研究了与赤道中东太平洋海温异常相对应的ENSO(El Nio-Southern Oscillation)不同位相对同期北半球海气耦合关系及两大洋风暴轴协同关系的影响,具体结论如下:1)赤道中东太平洋海温异常与冬季北半球两大洋风暴轴协同变化关系密切,具体表现为海温正异常时对应北太平洋风暴轴和北大西洋风暴轴同时增强,且大西洋风暴轴整体和太平洋风暴轴东部位置南压,海温负异常时则相反。2)海温正异常(El Nio)年时,对流层中层极涡向北太平洋地区伸展,西北太平洋副热带高压增强西移,东亚大槽减弱,高度场异常对应WP(Western Pacific pattern)、EA(Eastern Atlantic pattern)型遥相关的负位相和PNA(Pacific-North American pattern)型遥相关正位相,对流层低层加拿大高压增强,阿留申低压强度增强并向东南方向移动,东亚急流增强东伸,北美急流强度增强,欧亚大陆50°N附近西风增强,经向环流减弱,北半球的斜压异常分布有利于北太平洋东部风暴轴南侧以及中西部风暴轴的有效位能向扰动动能转换,使得风暴轴增强东部南压,北大西洋风暴轴南部斜压增强,使得风暴轴整体偏南,中、西部强度增强。海温负异常(La Nia)年时,海温和环流异常在两大洋基本与El Nio年相反,对应两大洋风暴轴强度同时减弱,同时北大西洋风暴轴整体和北太平洋风暴轴东部北抬。3)海温正异常(El Nio)年时,北美大陆为北暖南冷的异常分布,60°N以南的东亚地区除我国西南外基本为温度异常升高。海温负异常(La Nia)年时,由于高度场和风场异常在欧亚大陆和北美大陆上的异常分布与El Nio年时并不是完全相反,使得温度场异常主要表现在北美南部和东亚北部异常升高。     

Microbial Biomass and Organic Nutrients in the Deep-Sea Sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin

In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, we measured the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian pioneer area. Sediments were collected using box core and grab samples during September 1996. The total bacterial numbers ranged from 10 10 -10 11 cells per g -1 dry weight sediment. There was a marginal decrease in the number of bacteria from surface to 30 cm depth, though the subsurface section registered a higher number than did the surface. The highest numbers were encountered at depths of 4-8 cm. The retrievable number of bacteria were two orders less in comparison with the direct total counts of bacteria. An almost homogeneous distribution of bacteria, total organic carbon, living biomass, and lipids throughout the depth of cores indicates active microbial and benthic processes in the deep sea sediments. On the other hand, a uniform distribution of total counts of bacteria, carbohydrates, and total organic carbon in all the cores indicates their stable nature and suggests that they can serve as useful parameters for long-term monitoring of the area after the benthic disturbance. Further studies on temporal variability in this region would not only verify the observed norms of distribution of these variables but would also help to understand restabilization processes after the simulated benthic disturbance.     

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中桩周土强度弱化研究

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中,桩周土体受到强烈扰动而发生强度弱化,掌握桩周土体强度弱化规律对于准确预测打桩过程、保证工程安全具有重要意义。为研究土体强度弱化规律,开展了环剪试验模拟打桩对桩周土体的扰动,测试土体强度随剪切速率的变化规律,建立了描述土体强度弱化规律的拟合公式,引入到打桩分析软件中。研究结果表明：土体的强度折减程度不仅与土体本身的性质有关还受到土体的埋深和剪切速率的影响,埋深越深土体强度折减程度越低,剪切速率越高土体强度折减越高,在打桩分析中可采用这里推荐的线性折减方法来模拟不同深度处土体强度的折减规律。     

Geoacoustic Inversion via Genetic Algorithm and Its Application to Manganese Sediment Identification

An acoustic inversion method using a wide-band signal and two near field receivers is proposed and applied to multiple layered seabed models including a manganese sediment. The inversion problem can be formulated into a probabilistic model comprised of signals, a forward model, and additive noise. The forward model simulates wide-band signals, such as chirp signals, and is chosen to be the source-waveletconvolution plane wave modeling method. The wavelet matching technique, using weighted least-squares fitting, estimates the sediment sound-speed and thickness on which determination of the possible numerical ranges for a priori uniform distribution is based. The genetic algorithm is applied to a global optimization problem to find a maximum a posteriori solution for determined a priori search space. Here the object function is defined by an L 2 norm of the difference between measured and modeled signals. Not only the marginal pdf but also its statistics are calculated by numerical evaluation of integrals using the samples selected during importance sampling process of the genetic algorithm.     

Phylogenetic diversity and phenotypic characterization of cultivable bacterioplankton isolated from polar oceans

A set of 27 marine planktonic bacteria isolated from the polar regions was characterized by 16S rDNA sequencing and physiological and biochemical testing. More than half of these bacteria were positive for caseinase, gelatinase and 13-glucosidase, and could utilize glucose, maltose or malic acid as carbon source for cell growth. Twelve isolates expressed nitrate reduction activities. Except for one antarctic isolate BSwlO175 belonging to Actinobacteria phylum, these isolates were classified as γ-Proteobacteria, suggesting that γ-Proteobacteria dominated in cultivable marine bacterioplankton at both poles. Genus Pseudoalteromonas was the predominant group in the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Sea, and genus ShewaneUa dominated in cultivable bacterioplankton in the Prydz Bay. With sequence similarities above 97%, genus Psychrobacter was found at both poles. These 27 isolates were psychrotolerant, and significant 16S rDNA sequence similarities were found not only between arctic and antarctic marine bacteria （ 〉 99% ）, but also between polar marine bacteria and bacteria from other aquatic environments （ ≥ 98.8% ）, including temperate ocean, deep sea, pond and lake, suggesting that in the polar oceans less temperature-sensitive bacteria may be cosmopolitan and have a bipolar, even global, distribution at the species level.     

Deep-Sea Sediment Compression Curves: Some Controlling Factors, Spurious Overconsolidation, Predictions, and Geophysical Reproduction

Oedometer tests have been carried out on 70 undisturbed surficial clays (at approximately 250 mm below the mudline), mostly collected by free-fall corers from sites widely scattered throughout the deep-sea North Atlantic. Acoustic measurements were also made, initially on contiguous samples and ultimately on the same sample using a geophysically instrumented oedometer which also collected electrical resistivity data. Apart from those quiescent areas below the carbonate compensation depth, such as north of the West Indies where very fine clays exist, most of the samples are silty clays whose geotechnical-geophysical properties are dependent on the type of clay minerals present (and their ability to take in moisture), the sand-size fraction, and the quantity of carbonate present. Thus the pure clays have high compressibilities which decrease on the addition of coarse particles, while the converse is true for the acoustic parameters, these increasing with the sand fraction. Using the notion of the intrinsic compression line for all samples, and comparison to it of the measured compression curves, it is clear that, contrary to some previously held ideas, most deep-sea clays are normally consolidated; the addition of carbonate has the effect of creating an open, stronger sediment skeleton. Interestingly, where information is available, the variation with depth of a sample's acoustic velocity follows the void ratio pressure relationship of the compression curve. This allows the construction of an in-situ sediment compression curve using the in-situ geophysical observations.

Evaluation of the Risk of Marine Slope Instability: A Pseudo-3D Approach for Application to Large Areas

This article presents a methodology developed to evaluate the instability of submarine slopes that extend over a large area. Special attention was paid to (1) the complex geometry (bathymetry) and the expanse of the slope, (2) the heterogeneity of the sediment, and (3) the distribution of the pore pressure. The safety factor was considered as a spatially varying quantity. The General Formulation (GLE, Fredlund and Krahn 1977), which fully satisfies equilibrium conditions, was used for evaluating the stability of the marine slope. The submarine slope failure, which occurred on 16 October 1979 during the construction of the new Nice airport, was studied in order to test the developed model. Geotechnical parameters were taken from experimental tests carried out by IFREMER on 19 cores extracted at different depths (from 27 m to 1300 m) (Cochonat, Bourillet, and Savoye, 1993; Mulder et al., 1994). Many scenarios were proposed in order to explain the cause of the Nice slope failure (Habib, 1994). In this article, two of those scenarios were tested. Simulation results are presented and discussed.
