The seasonal climatic circulation of the sea reconstructed on the basis of assimilation of new arrays of many-year average
hydrological data in a model is analyzed. Five layers are discovered in the structure of climatic currents in the sea in depth:
the surface Ekman layer (∼ 10 m), a layer with small vertical gradients of the kinetic energy (∼ 10–60 m), a layer with relatively
high vertical gradients of the kinetic energy (∼ 60–150 m), a layer with gradual decrease in the kinetic energy and intensification
(from 250–350 m) of the east cyclonic gyre and Batumi anticyclonic eddy (∼ 150–1000 m), and an abyssal layer characterized
by an almost barotropic velocity (∼ 1000–2000 m). The specific features of the seasonal evolution of currents at these depths
are investigated. It is shown that the key role in the formation of deep-water circulation of the sea is played by the south
east flow, east cyclonic gyre, and Batumi anticyclonic eddy.

A mooring observation of current velocity, temperature and bottom pressure was carried out approximately 30 km off the coast
of Monbetsu, between August 7 and September 2, 2005, to investigate the characteristics of bottom boundary layer (BBL) off
the Soya Warm Current (SWC). We succeeded in measuring the Ekman veering and bottom Ekman transport in the BBL. On comparing
the observed current velocity with that represented by the classical theoretical equation, the observed alongshore current
velocity in BBL disagreed with that represented by the classical theoretical equation, but the cross-shore one agreed well.
However after applying a linear extrapolation for the alongshore current velocity to estimate the alongshore geostrophic current
velocity above the bottom, we could explain the alongshore current velocity by that represented in the classical theoretical
equation. Consequently, our observations strongly support one of the proposed formation mechanisms of the cold-water belt
observed off the SWC, that is, the convergence of bottom Ekman transport. The volume transport of vertical pumping velocity
was estimated to be (0.12–0.25) Sv. In addition, the vertical profile of average temperature in all observation periods shows
that slightly warmer water lies beneath the homogenous temperature layer, in the BBL. The result is considered to imply that
the down-slope advection due to bottom Ekman transport supplies the SWC water in BBL and the eddy diffusivity of order of
10−3 m2s−1 maintains the oceanic structure in the bottom mixed layer. 相似文献

Time-dependent wind drift currents in a basin with finite depth have been solved analytically in order to understand their
fundamental behavior in coastal waters. The drift currents due to the land/sea breeze, as a typical example of time-dependent
winds, have been examined with attention to the manner of their oscillation in their vertical profiles. The theoretical analysis
indicates that the drift current due to the land/sea breeze might be amplified effectively around the southern part of Japan,
where the oscillating period of the wind is near to the inertial period. The analysis of the physical process of the drift
current reveals the following two important aspects: the Ekman boundary layer in a rotating frame is physically consistent
with the Stokes boundary layer due to oscillating currents in an inertial frame, and so the inertial motion due to the wind
is dispersed to the deeper level by the vertical viscosity in a rotating frame. The harmonic analysis was performed for the
residual data after removal of the four main tidal constituents, M2, S2, K1 and O1, from the raw data observed in Suonada
sound, the Seto Inland Sea. The feature of the analytically solved drift currents corresponded well to the observed picture.
The vertical viscosity in this field has been estimated at 10−3 m2/s by adjusting the harmonically analytical result of the observed data to the vertical profile of the analytically solved
drift current. 相似文献

We describe a new measuring complex aimed at the investigation of small-scale processes in the upper active layer of the sea.
The necessity of creation of a complex of this sort is justified and a circle of problems that can be solved with the help
of this complex is described. The scales of resolution of horizontal and vertical inhomogeneities in measuring in the mode
of vertical probing are theoretically estimated. The basic technical characteristics of the complex are presented. We also
present the results of laboratory and field tests, which confirm the agreement between the calculated and actual technical
possibilities of the complex. The structural features of various versions of the “Sigma-1” measuring complex (the “Sigma-1P”
point-to-point-operation version and the “Sigma-1Z” probing version) are described.

The method of two-dimensional isopycnic analysis is applied to study the distribution of inorganic phosphates and nitrates
in the Black Sea. The effect of winter-time ventilation in the central sea on the formation of chemical fields is examined,
as well as the outcropping of biogenic elements from the layer of high concentrations (σ
t∼14.5–16.0). It is demonstrated that the amount of nitrates entering the upper active layer of the sea as a result of winter-time
convective ventilation may attain values comparable with their overall annual input by river discharge, and that they control
the intensity of winter-spring phytoplankton blooming in the central sea. The spatial variability of the vertical phosphate
distribution is analysed. For the annual cycles with fairly cool winter conditions, an occurrence of three peaks on the phosphates
vertical profile in spring has been documented over a vast sea area where the rim current represents an external dynamic boundary.

Correction method for full-depth current velocity with lowered acoustic Doppler current profiler (LADCP) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A new method is presented to process and correct full-depth current velocity data obtained from a lowered acoustic Doppler
current profiler (LADCP). The analysis shows that, except near the surface, the echo intensity of a reflected sound pulse
is closely correlated with the magnitude of the difference in vertical shear of velocity between downcast and upcast, indicating
an error in velocity shear. The present method features the use of echo intensity for the correction of velocity shear. The
correction values are determined as to fit LADCP velocity to shipboard ADCP (SADCP) and LADCP bottom-tracked velocities. The
method is as follows. Initially, a profile of velocity relative to the sea surface is obtained by integrating vertical shears
of velocity after low-quality data are rejected. Second, the relative velocity is fitted to the velocity at 100–800 dbar measured
by SADCP to obtain an “absolute” velocity profile. Third, the velocity shear is corrected using the relationship between the
errors in velocity shears and echo intensity, in order to adjust the velocity at sea bottom to the bottom-tracked velocity
measured by LADCP. Finally, the velocity profile is obtained from the SADCP-fitted velocity at depths less than 800 dbar and
the corrected velocity shear at depths greater than 800 dbar. This method is valid for a full-depth LADCP cast throughout
which the echo intensity is relatively high (greater than 75 dB in the present analysis). Although the processed velocity
may include errors of 1–2 cm s−1, this method produced qualitatively good current structures in the Northeast Pacific Basin that were consistent with the
deep current structures inferred from silicate distribution, and the averaged velocities were significantly different from
those calculated by the Visbeck (2002) method. 相似文献

We propose an improvement of the algorithm of joint assimilation of the data on climatic temperature, salinity, and altimetric
sea level in a model of circulation. Unlike the previous works, the variances of the forecast errors of temperature and salinity
and the cross-covariance functions of of the forecast errors of salinity-level and temperature-level depend on the dynamics
of waters. It is shown that the structure of the fields of cross-covariance functions in the upper mixed layer is formed by
the vertical turbulent diffusion of the variances of forecast errors of temperature and salinity. At greater depths, these
statistical characteristics are mainly determined by the vertical advection. We compared the results of calculations with
and without taking into account the dynamics of the statistical characteristics. The analysis of the influence of the dynamics
of these characteristics makes it possible to reconstruct the mutually adapted climatic fields of temperature, salinity, and
horizontal and vertical current velocities in the Black Sea with the assimilation of data in the numerical model in each time
step.

We construct a one-dimensional nonstationary isopycnic model of vertical exchange in the Black Sea with regard for the processes
of draining and transformation of waters of the Sea of Marmara (or “plume”), vertical diffusion, and the action of winter
convection in the upper layer. It is assumed that mixing in the basin is local in space and time and that the winter wind
action remains constant from year to year in the analyzed version of the model. The temperature of the upper mixed layer introduced
to simulate the winter conditions is regarded as the principal external variable factor. Within the framework of the accepted
restrictions, the model enables us to study the annual and interannual variability of the thermohaline characteristics and
hydrochemical parameters in the water column of the sea. As an example, we perform the numerical analysis of the periodic
action of external thermal conditions on the characteristics of the system with a period of six years.

We propose an algorithm of adaptive statistics of prognostic errors aimed at the assimilation of the climatic temperature
and salinity fields in a model of dynamics of the sea. The algorithm is used for the numerical solution of the proposed differential
equations for the dispersions of prognostic errors of temperature and salinity. The sources in the equations of advective
diffusion of heat and salt depend on the four-dimensional dispersions of prognostic errors and one-dimensional (along the
vertical coordinate) dispersions of measurement errors. The dispersions of prognostic errors are corrected at the times of
assimilation of the data. We perform the reconstruction and analysis of the climatic fields of currents in the Black Sea.
It is shown that the structure of the fields of dispersions in the upper mixed layer is determined by the vertical diffusion.
Below this layer, the distribution of dispersions depends on the vertical advection. The algorithm of adaptive statistics
of prognostic errors allows us to reconstruct the improved mutually adapted hydrophysical parameters with regard for the dynamics
of the dispersions of errors.

The structure of the annual-mean shallow meridional overturning circulation(SMOC) in the South China Sea(SCS) and the related water movement are investigated,using simple ocean data assimilation(SODA) outputs.The distinct clockwise SMOC is present above 400 m in the SCS on the climatologically annual-mean scale,which consists of downwelling in the northern SCS,a southward subsurface branch supplying upwelling at around 10°N and a northward surface flow,with a strength of about 1×10~6 m~3/s.The formation mechanisms of its branches are studied separately.The zonal component of the annual-mean wind stress is predominantly westward and causes northward Ekman transport above 50 m.The annual-mean Ekman transport across 18°N is about 1.2×10~6 m~3/s.An annual-mean subduction rate is calculated by estimating the net volume flux entering the thermocline from the mixed layer in a Lagrangian framework.An annual subduction rate of about 0.66×10~6m~3/s is obtained between 17° and 20°N,of which 87% is due to vertical pumping and 13% is due to lateral induction.The subduction rate implies that the subdution contributes significantly to the downwelling branch.The pathways of traced parcels released at the base of the February mixed layer show that after subduction water moves southward to as far as 11°N within the western boundary current before returning northward.The velocity field at the base of mixed layer and a meridional velocity section in winter also confirm that the southward flow in the subsurface layer is mainly by strong western boundary currents.Significant upwelling mainly occurs off the Vietnam coast in the southern SCS.An upper bound for the annual-mean net upwelling rate between 10° and 15°N is 0.7×10~6m~3/s,of which a large portion is contributed by summer upwelling,with both the alongshore component of the southwest wind and its offshore increase causing great upwelling. 相似文献

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

We discuss the results of the numerical experiment aimed at the simulation of the behavior of currents and transformations
of the temperature and salt modes in the Sevastopol Bay in January–February 1997. In the numerical analysis, we use actual
data on the velocity and direction of the wind, sea surface temperature, and the discharge of River Chernaya. It is shown
that the circulation and structure of hydrological fields are mainly connected with the direction of the wind, its intensity,
and variability in the course of time. Since the analyzed water area is shallow, the currents inside the bay undergo rapid
transformations (less than for an hour after changes in the wind). At the same time, the transformations of the thermohaline
fields are slower. Due to the inflow of fresh waters of River Chernaya and salt waters from the open sea through the strait,
the structure of thermohaline fields formed in the bay is nonuniform (both in the vertical and horizontal directions). The
distribution of salinity plays the main role in the formation of the vertical stratification, which is natural for the winter
season. Due to the process of freshening of water, a quite high vertical salinity gradient is formed in the upper layer of
the sea. As a result, the process of cooling does not lead to the appearance of convection and inversions of temperature are
formed in the case where warmer waters are located in the bottom layers.

We present the results of experimental investigations of the characteristics of turbulence in the layer of wave-induced mixing.
The data on the fluctuations of velocity, temperature, and conductivity are obtained with the help of a Sigma-1 measuring complex. The computed values of the dissipation rate of turbulent energy are compared with different models proposed
for the subsurface layer. It is shown that the available models fail to guarantee satisfactory agreement of the numerical
results with the experimental data for the layer of active wave action and, in particular, in the presence of swell. This
leads us to the conclusion concerning the necessity of parametrization and assimilation of more complete data on the state
of the sea surface, the structure of currents, and the surface layer of the atmosphere in the models.

In order to examine the applicability of remotely-sensed ocean color for the estimation of phytoplankton biomass and primary
production in the Oyashio region, the western subarctic Pacific, vertical distributions of chlorophylla concentration and primary production were observed in April and May 1997. Spring bloom was observed in both April and May,
and the surface concentration of chlorophylla exceeded 40 mg m−3. The relationship between the standing stocks of chlorophylla within the layer from the sea surface to one optical depth (0–1/k layer) and the surface chlorophylla concentration is expressed as a Michaelis-Menten equation. The mean ratio of the standing stock of chlorophylla in the euphotic layer to that in the 0–1/k layer was 4.41, this ratio did not significantly differ from 4.61 which was obtained at homogeneous distribution of chlorophylla within the euphotic layer. These facts suggest that the distribution of chlorophylla could be assumed to be homogeneous in the euphotic layer during the spring bloom. Results of primary production measurements
by simulatedin situ method were compared with those by an algorithm with two variables; chlorphylla and non-spectral PAR. Daily primary production in the euphotic layer estimated by the algorithm varied in a range of 38–274%
of that estimated by incubation, although the primary productions by the algorithm agreed with those by the incubation at
a half of stations. Primary production within the euphotic layer calculated using simply the surface data was the same as
that estimated using vertical distribution of chlorophylla. These results show that the primary production in the euphotic layer may be estimated from the remote sensed measurements
during the spring bloom in the Oyashio region. 相似文献

We perform the experimental verification of the applicability of the theory of similarity to the wave boundary layer and the
assessment of wave-induced perturbations of the air flow depending on various conditions of stratification of the atmosphere
and the state of the sea. The measurements were carried out from a stationary platform located in the coastal part of the
Black Sea. The experimental procedure is based on the simultaneous measurements of the profile and fluctuations of the wind
speed at 5–6 levels in the 1.3–21-m layer, the elevations of the sea surface, the directions of waves and winds, and the mean
gradients of temperature and humidity of air. The structure of the boundary layer in the region of measurements depends on
the direction of the wind. For weak and moderate onshore winds (< 9 m/sec), the approximate balance is preserved between the
production and dissipation of turbulent energy in the cases of unstable and neutral stratification. On the average, the estimates
of friction velocity according to the profiles are higher than the dissipative estimates by 10% mainly due to the deficiency
of dissipation near the surface. For the offshore wind, the structure of the boundary layer abruptly changes and is determined
not by the local parameters but by strong turbulent eddies formed over the dry land. The intensity of low-frequency turbulent
fluctuations and the gradient of wind velocity near the surface in the coastal zone are 1.5–2 times higher than for the open
sea.

Current meter data from various depths near the sea bottom collected for 31 days at time intervals of 10 minutes using a subsurface buoy system at a depth at 38 m on the continental shelf off Akita, Japan have been analyzed. The results show the existence of a stationary Ekman layer. The typical range of the characteristic parameters are estimated as follows; friction velocity: 0.38 cm s–1; Ekman layer thickness: 16 m; logarithmic layer thickness: 4 m–6 m; constant flux layer thickness: 0.4–0.6 m; Ekman veering: 28.7°; drag coefficient: 0.24×10–2–0.53×10–2. Veering was also observed in the logarithmic layer. 相似文献

Air-Sea Interaction, Coastal Circulation and Primary Production in the Eastern Arabian Sea: A Review
Air-sea interaction, coastal circulation and primary production exhibit an annual cycle in the eastern Arabian Sea (AS). During
June to September, strong southwesterly winds (4∼9 m s−1) promote sea surface cooling through surface heat loss and vertical mixing in the central AS and force the West India Coastal
Current equatorward. Positive wind stress curl induced by the Findlater jet facilitates Ekman pumping in the northern AS,
and equatorward-directed alongshore wind stress induces upwelling which lowers sea surface temperature by about 2.5°C (compared
to the offshore value) along the southwestern shelf of India and enhances phytoplankton concentration by more than 70% as
compared to that in the central AS. During winter monsoon, from November to March, dry and weak northeasterly winds (2–6 m
s−1) from the Indo-China continent enhance convective cooling of the upper ocean and deepen the mixed layer by more than 80 m,
thereby increasing the vertical flux of nutrients in the photic layer which promotes wintertime phytoplankton blooms in the
northern AS. The primary production rate integrated for photic layer and surface chlorophyll-a estimated from the Coastal
Zone Color Scanner, both averaged for the entire western India shelf, increases from winter to summer monsoon from 24 to 70
g C m−2month and from 9 to 24 mg m−2, respectively. Remotely-forced coastal Kelvin waves from the Bay of Bengal propagate into the coastal AS, which modulate
circulation pattern along the western India shelf; these Kelvin waves in turn radiate Rossby waves which reverse the circulation
in the Lakshadweep Sea semiannually. This review leads us to the conclusion that seasonal monsoon forcing and remotely forced
waves modulate the circulation and primary production in the eastern AS.
