热带太平洋障碍层厚度的时空特征分析

利用中国Argo实时数据中心提供的9 a(2000—2008年)网格化Argo剖面浮标温、盐数据(G Argo),分析热带太平洋障碍层厚度的气候态分布和低频变化特征。气候平均结果表明,较厚的障碍层主要出现于西太平洋暖池区,并有3条纬向障碍层带状分布,从暖池出发向东延伸至120°W,分别位于以15°N,5°N和12°S为中心的纬度带上。经验正交函数(EOF)基本模态分析表明,热带太平洋障碍层低频振荡以季节和年际变化为主,在季节尺度上主要表现为15°N和12°S障碍层纬度带呈反相变化,都在当地冬季最大,夏季最小;在年际尺度上则主要表现为暖池东边界附近障碍层与厄尔尼诺南方涛动(ENSO)相关的变化,以及暖池中部障碍层与热带准2 a周期振荡(TBO)相关的变化。     

热带西太平洋海域上层海洋热含量的CSEOF分析

基于月平均Argo温、盐度剖面、纬向风和Ni o3.4指数等资料,利用循环平稳经验正交函数(CSEOF)分解法、最大熵谱分析和相关分析等方法,研究了热带西太平洋海域上层(0—700m)海洋热含量的时空变化特征,并探讨了其年际变化的可能原因。结果表明,热带西太平洋海域上层海洋热含量距平场具有显著的东-西向反位相振荡,且这种振荡除了具有较明显的季节变化外,还存在着较强的准2a振荡。此外,热含量距平场还存在着负-正-负的三极式经向模态,该模态除了具有明显的季节变化外,还存在着显著的准4a振荡。进一步分析表明,热含量的准2a振荡与ENSO事件的发生有着非常密切的联系,并对赤道西太平洋纬向风异常有1—2月的滞后响应。     

基于Argo资料的热带西太平洋上层热含量初步研究

根据2004年1月-2008年12月间的Argo剖面浮标观测资料,分析了热带西太平洋上层热含量的空间分布及其季节变化特征,并考察了不同计算深度以及盐度对热含量的影响,且探讨了有关计算上层热含量的深度选取问题.结果表明:(1)热带西太平洋上层热含量的气候态大致呈“马鞍型”分布,即在12°N以北和5°S以南海域上层热含量都较高,而在2°-12°N之间热含量则较低,特别在棉兰老冷涡区热含量很低;(2)研究海域的上层热含量一年四季均呈这种两高一低的空间分布形势,但强度的季节性变幅却较大,整个研究海域的热含量体现为春季最高,夏季最低,秋冬季居中的特点,但两个高热含量区和低热含量带的热含量各呈现出不同的季节变化;(3)温跃层深度的波动对海洋上层热含量的影响要大于上混合层,尤其在南北纬10°以外海域.因此,计算西太平洋上层热含量时,应将积分深度取为温跃层下界深度,才有可能比较真实地反映该海域的上层热含量的分布和变化,若为简单起见,取等深度计算时,以700m为宜,此外,盐度对上层热含量的影响也应引起重视.     

Oceanic barrier layer variation induced by tropical cyclones in the Northwest Pacific

According to Argo profiles and one-dimensional Price-Weller-Pinkel models, the oceanic barrier layer variation induced by tropical cyclones is adequately analyzed in the Northwest Pacific. Results show that tropical cyclones mainly aff ect the oceanic barrier layer through intensifying and weakening pre-existed barrier layer. The former even may generate new one after tropical cyclones’ passage. The latter can make pre-existed one disappear. Local wind stress and precipitation, the dominant factors, primarily determine the variation of barrier layer. Negative eff ects of wind mainly focus on the north of 20°N. This phenomenon is more meaningful for slow tropical cyclones. Conversely, positive eff ects of wind and precipitation center on the south of 20°N in the Northwest Pacific. Some data indicate that the barrier layer variation is also closely related with initial mixed layer depth and barrier layer thickness.     

西北太平洋热带气旋与上层海洋热含量的关系

利用SODA(Simple Ocean Data Assimilation)的海温资料和Unisys Weather的热带气旋资料,研究了1960-2008年期间北太平洋上层150 m的热含量分布特征及其与西北太平洋热带气旋发生频次的关系。考虑了纬度的变化对热含量的影响后,北太平洋热含量的高值中心位于10°N左右,与上层海温结构相符,计算结果更加符合物理意义。北太平洋热含量与西北太平洋热带气旋频数年际相关性研究表明在北太平洋中高纬度大洋内区和赤道东太平洋热带不稳定波发生区呈现出前期冬季正相关性。此相关性存在显著年代际的变化,在1970-1975年和1984-2008年期间最强,1976-1983年期间较弱。在北太平洋中高纬度大洋内区,同期春夏秋季同样存在强正相关。在西太平洋暖池区,同期秋季负相关最为显著。赤道中太平洋区域在夏季呈显著的正相关,秋季减弱。赤道东太平洋海域的相关性前期冬季负相关最为显著,春季负相关性减弱,夏季和秋季无显著相关。     

On one model of the upper boundary layer of the ocean

A steady model of the ocean's upper boundary layer is considered. It uses the dependence on the velocity gradient, suggested in ref. 1, which is analogous to formulae of the Prandtl type for the coefficient of turbulence. The analytical solution of the problem is provided. A numerical estimate of the model's parameters points to satisfactory concordance with the field data for various characteristics.Translated by Mikhail M. Trufanov.     

Interannual variability of mixed layer depth and heat storage of upper layer in the tropical Pacific Ocean

By using the upper layer data(downloaded from the web of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography ),the interannual variability of the heat storage of upper layer(from surface to 400 m depth) and the mixed layer depth in the tropical Pacific Ocean are investigated. The abnormal signal of the warm event comes from the central and west Pacific Ocean, whereas it is regarded that the abnormal signal of the warm event comes from the east Pacific Ocean in the popular viewpoint. From the viewpoint on the evolution of the interannual variability of the mixed layer depth and the heat storage of the whole upper layer, the difference between the two types of E1Nino is so small that it can be neglected. During these two E1Nino/La Nina events( 1972/1973 and 1997/1998), other than the case of the heat storage or for the mixed layer depth, the abnormal signal propagates from the central and west Pacific Ocean to the east usually by the path along the equator whereas the abnormal signal propagates from the east to the west by the path northern to the equator. For the interannual variability, the evolution of the mixed layer depth corresponds to that of the heat storage in the upper layer very well. This is quite different from the evolution of seasonality.     

海洋上层热含量的分布特征、变化模态及观测手段综述

综述了近20年来国内外在有关西太平洋暖池热含量、热带西太平洋上层热含量与西太平洋年际变化事件(ENSO)的关系、热带太平洋上层热含量变化的主要模态以及热含量估算等方面所取得的主要研究成果。研究表明:(1)热带西太平洋暖池区是太平洋上层热含量异常变化最大的区域,上层热含量异常影响了暖池上空的环流(如南海夏季风、副热带高压系统)特征,进而影响气候;(2)赤道西太平洋温跃层以浅的热含量在ENSO发生之前有明显的积聚,其变化明显领先于赤道东太平洋SSTA的变化,领先时间可达数月之久,从而使热含量与ENSO的相关性,以及利用热含量的变异对ENSO进行更长时间的预报成为可能;(3)西太平洋上层热含量存在纬向变异和经向变异两种模态,其中纬向变异模态占主导地位,且超前经向变异模态;(4)由于海洋深层资料难以获取,各种仪器本身存在系统误差,以及采用不同的计算方法,对海洋上层热结构分布与变异的研究受到了一定的限制。随着由3000多个浮标组成的全球Argo实时海洋观测网的建成,Argo数据库每年可以提供多达10万个剖面(0～2000m层)的温、盐数据。Argo资料与其它海洋资料的结合,有助于研究全球海洋温、盐度和海流场结构及其变化规律,准确估算逐月甚至逐年的全球海洋热含量及其季节和年际变化将成为现实。

Response of the upper ocean to tropical cyclone in the Northwest Pacific observed by gliders during fall 2018

The evolution of thermohaline structure at the upper ocean during three tropical cyclones(TCs) in the Northwest Pacific was studied in this study based on successive observation by two new-style underwater gliders during fall 2018. These remote-controllable gliders with CTD sensor enabled us to explore high frequency responses of temperature, salinity, mixed and barrier layers in the upper ocean to severe TCs in this area. Results showed that three significant cooling-to-warming and stratification destructing-to-reconstructing processes at the mixed layer occurred during the lives of three TCs. The maximal cooling of SST all reached ≥0.5℃ although TCs with different intensities had different minimal distances to the observed area. Under potential impacts of solar radiation, tide and inertial motions, the mixed layer depth possessed significant high-frequency fluctuations during TC periods.In addition, barrier layers appeared and vanished quickly during TCs, accompanied with varied temperature inversion processes.     

Modelling of the upper turbulent layer in the ocean

A differential model of the upper turbulent layer in the ocean is considered. A closed system of equations includes equations of motion, balance, and dissipation of kinetic turbulence energy. Boundary conditions at the surface are determined using a solution of the atmospheric problem taking into account the interaction between the two media. The formulated algorithm allows for a relationship between turbulent energy dissipation and flux and the parameters of wind disturbance. The vertical profiles of turbulence and drift current characteristics are presented as well as parameters of the ocean-atmosphere interaction for various values of impulse jump within the limits of the wave layer with waves collapsing and not collapsing.UDK 551.456.152     

黄海西部海洋湍流的季节变化特征分析

在2006—2007年开展的"中国近海海洋综合调查与评价"项目中,作者利用自由下降湍流剖面仪MSS60在南黄海海区分别进行了夏、冬、秋季三个航次的微尺度湍流观测,并计算分析了该海区的湍动能耗散系数ε,湍扩散系数κ等。通过与温度、流速分布图对比,结果表明三个季节的湍流混合趋势大体一致。在沿岸浅水区,混合作用比较强烈。而深水区湍流混合的垂直分布明显地表现出三层结构,混合较强的上混合层和底混合层,及相对较弱的中层。风混合和潮混合是黄海湍流混合的主要形式。风的影响主要表现在海洋上层,潮流的影响则表现于底层。     

热带西北太平洋0~300 m热含量的年代际变化

太平洋是海表温度年际变化和年代际变化发生的主要区域,但对太平洋海洋热含量变化的研究相对较少。为此, 本文分析了1980—2020年太平洋上层(0~300 m)热含量的时空变化特征。基于IAP数据,本文首先利用集合经验模态分解法(EEMD)提取不同时间尺度的海洋热含量信号,并利用正交经验分解法(EOF)对不同时间尺度的海洋热含量进行时空特征分析,得到了太平洋0~300 m海洋热含量的年际变化、年代际变化以及长期变暖的时空特征。结果表明,除了年际变化之外,热带西北太平洋上层热含量还存在明显的年代际变化和长期变暖趋势。在东太平洋和高纬度西太平洋,热含量的年代际变化特征并不突出。热带西北太平洋热含量的年代际变化在1980—1988年和1999—2013年较高,而在1989—1998年和2014—2020年期间较低。此外,针对热带西北太平洋热含量的经向、纬向和垂向特征分析,发现这种年代际变化主要发生在5°N—20°N,120°E—180°E,次表层50~200 m范围内。热带西北太平洋热含量的年代际变化对全球海表温度的年代际变化有着重要作用。     

Thermal advection in the tropical Atlantic upper layer

This paper focuses on the heat advection calculated for the tropical Atlantic upper mixed layer and a 0–200 m layer, using two different methods, specifically, (i) from the change in the heat content and the external heat balances and (ii) on the basis of the flows and horizontal seawater temperature gradients prescribed. Thermal advection in the upper mixed layer, in terms of its geographical distribution and the order of magnitude, coincides with that of the 0–200 m layer. This allows the deduction that basically the heat in the tropical Atlantic is transferred within the upper mixed layer. Seasonal variations of the heat advection prove to be appreciable; the annual course is well approximated by two principal waves, one having annual and the other semi-annual cyclicity, with the annual wave being predominant. Both waves reproduce 90% of the dispersion of monthly thermal advection.Translated by Vladimir A. Puchkin.     

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...     

热带太平洋海平面低频变化

本文选取ECMWF ORAS4再分析数据对1959-2015年热带太平洋海平面的低频变化进行了分析。热带太平洋海平面年际变化第一模态反映了ENSO爆发阶段的海平面变化,热带东、西太平洋变化反相,其时间序列与Niño3.4指数高度相关。海平面第二模态则体现了El Niño爆发前后热带太平洋暖水的输运过程。El Niño爆发前热带西太平洋暖水聚集的位置,以及爆发后暖水向赤道外输运的位置在两类El Niño事件中均有所不同。此外,ENSO的周期在近半个世纪发生了显著的年代际变化,这一变化与热带太平洋的年代际变化有关。热带太平洋的年代际变化对海平面趋势变化也有着显著的影响。卫星高度计观测到的近20年海平面的快速上升（下降）正是由20世纪90年代后热带太平洋频繁的位相转换引起的。

两种热通量边界条件对热带太平洋海温模拟的影响

利用中国科学院大气物理研究所大气科学和地球流体力学数值模拟国家重点实验室发展的气候海洋模式(LICOM),考察了两种热通量边界条件(牛顿冷却型边界条件和总体公式型边界条件)对热带太平洋海温平均态和年际变率模拟效果的影响。结果显示,在两种边界条件下,模式均能较好的再现海温的年平均空间分布特征和季节循环特征。对比分析发现,在牛顿冷却条件下,模拟结果与观测更加接近,这是因为该条件会通过调整净海表热通量使模拟海温向观测的气候态海温逼近。就年际变率而言,牛顿冷却条件下模式模拟的净海表热通量负反馈作用偏强,从而使ENSO模拟偏弱,进而使中东太平洋的异常经向温度平流模拟偏弱,造成海温异常的经向尺度偏窄。负反馈的强度与耦合系数的选取有关。而总体公式条件下模式能够合理地模拟出ENSO相关的热通量负反馈过程,从而能正确的模拟出ENSO振幅以及ENSO空间型。因此,当利用海洋模式对气候平均态海温进行模拟时,两种条件均可采用,但以牛顿冷却条件为佳;而当对海温的年际变率进行模拟时,应该采用总体公式型边界条件。     

Evolution of the upper ocean layer during daytime heating

A one-dimensional model for the evolution of a near-surface layer during daytime heating is suggested. The paper considers how upward thermal fluxes and the Coriolis force affect the heated layer's vertical structure. Experiments have shown that atmospheric heat and impulse are localized in the heated layer, and that the earth's rotation causes deviation of the surface current velocity and reduction of its amplitudinal variations which do not seem to be controlled by the wind speed and depend on the layer's heat budget. Experimental data provide good agreement with model calculations.Translated by V. Puchkin.     

热带东印度洋表层环流季节变化特征研究

利用近20年的卫星遥感海面绝对动力高度(Absolute Dynamic Topography,ADT)数据、表层流数据及Argos表面漂流浮标数据等研究了热带东印度洋表层环流的季节变化特征。分析结果显示,热带东印度洋表层环流的变化与季风演替基本同步,赤道以北海域环流季节变化特征甚为显著。与此大尺度环流年循环同步,孟加拉湾湾口环流也相应变化:湾口东部在5~9月为南向流,一直延伸至苏门答腊岛外海,其他月份,从湾口东部至整个苏门答腊岛外海(4°S以北)为北向流;湾口西部经向流的变化大体与东部相反。Argos漂流浮标轨迹进一步揭示了湾内外各季节水交换路径:西南季风期,源自阿拉伯海及印度半岛南部海域的漂流浮标主要通过西南季风漂流由湾口西侧进入湾内,湾内的漂流浮标通过湾口东侧沿着苏门答腊岛进入赤道印度洋;东北季风期,漂流浮标进出湾口的途径大体与西南季风期相反。本研究还表明,季风海流及赤道急流的纬向流速季节变化最大,而经向流速的季节方差最大的则为东印度沿岸流及拉克沙群岛高压(拉克沙群岛低压)。
