珠江河口潮能通量与耗散

珠江河口三角洲是我国一个极其复杂的大尺度河口系统,具有独特的河网体系和河口湾.为探讨珠江河口三角洲的潮能通量和潮能耗散机制,基于SELFE模型,建立了珠江河网-河口湾的三维数值模型,计算了河网-河口湾区的潮能通量和潮能耗散.研究表明:珠江河口的潮能通量平面上表现出主槽大,滩地较小;在总能耗中,底摩擦能耗最大,其次是垂向扩散耗散能耗,水平扩散能耗最小;存在‘门’、分汊汇流区和弯曲河道区等典型的高能耗区,高能耗区的单位面积能耗比附近水域的高数倍甚至1～2个数量级.     

渤黄东海潮能通量与潮能耗散

利用同化高度计资料和沿岸验潮站资料对潮汐数值模式进行同化,根据同化后的数值模式结果,对渤黄东海中的潮能通量和潮能耗散进行了研究.M2分潮从太平洋进入渤黄东海的潮能为122.499GW,占4个主要分潮进入总量的79%.黄海是半日分潮潮能耗散的主要海区.全日分潮则主要耗散在东海.全日分潮在遇到陆坡的阻挡以后有一部分潮能沿着冲绳海槽向西南传播,并有一部分潮能反射回太平洋,其中O1分潮通过C3断面反射回太平洋的潮能,约占其传入东海潮能的44%.     

不考虑局地引潮势的南海正压潮能通量与潮能耗散

利用ECOM模式模拟南海正压M2、S2、K1、O1分潮, 对南海潮能通量及潮能耗散进行研究.结果显示, M2、S2、K1和O1分潮分别有38.93、5.77、29.73和28.97GW的能通量经吕宋海峡传入南海, 并有2.42、0.36、8.67和7.86GW的能通量由南海经卡里马塔海峡传入爪哇海.由东海及吕宋海峡西北部传入台湾海峡的M2分潮能通量为25.28GW.半日潮进入北部湾和泰国湾的能通量较少(6.52GW), 全日潮则较大(24.74GW).通过民都洛和巴拉巴克海峡断面, 全日潮由南海向苏禄海共输送12.28GW的能通量, 而半日潮则由苏禄海向南海输送1.92GW的能通量.由模式输出结果估计得到的南海各局部海域的底摩擦耗散与净潮能通量存在差异, 为使二者平衡, 可对南海不同海域的底摩擦系数进行调整.依净潮能通量与底摩擦耗散平衡关系计算得到台湾海峡、北部湾、泰国湾及南海深水海域的底摩擦系数分别为0.0023、0.0024、0.0023和0.0021.     

渤海、黄海、东海潮流、潮能通量与耗散的数值模拟研究

基于ROMS海洋数值模式,对渤海、黄海、东海的潮汐、潮流进行数值模拟,模拟结果与91个沿岸验潮站的实测结果拟合较好。研究表明,渤、黄、东海内的潮波以半日潮为主,共有4个半日潮、2个全日潮和1个退化的半日潮旋转潮波系统,且都呈逆时针方向旋转;渤海的半日潮流主要呈顺时针方向旋转,全日潮流呈逆时针方向旋转,黄海的潮流以逆时针旋转为主,东海、朝鲜海峡潮流以顺时针旋转为主;半日分潮流共有13个圆流点,K1(O1)分潮流有10(9)个圆流点,但全日潮流的同潮时线分布较为复杂;太平洋传入东海的4个主要分潮潮能通量分别为118.341GW、19.525GW、5.630GW、3.871GW,一半以上的潮能耗散在南黄海,30%—40%的潮能耗散在东海,其次是北黄海,而渤海最小。     

围垦对舟山群岛海域潮流结构及潮能分布影响研究

舟山群岛海域潮能丰富,近年来大面积的围垦工程影响了邻近海域的潮流结构与潮能分布特征。基于FVCOM(finite volume coastal ocean model)三维水动力数值模型,选取1984年、2010年、2019年三个代表年份,探讨围垦工程影响下舟山群岛海域潮流结构与潮能分布的时空变化状况。结果显示:1984年至2010年间围垦面积相对不大,且较为分散,主要改变外海进入杭州湾各通道的潮能分配,对能量耗散的影响较小。2010年至2019年间的围垦工程缩窄了潮汐通道,流速增大使得螺头水道及邻近水道的潮能增加,近底流速增大与较强湍流涡旋的产生,使得围垦工程周边海域能量耗散更为集中。     

西北太平洋台风频数异常及其与海气通量的关系

利用1984-2002年联合台风预警中心(JTWC)最佳路径台风资料、全球海洋客观分析海气通量(OAFluxes)资料和NCAR/NCEP-2再分析资料,使用SVD等统计方法,对西北太平洋台风频数与低层大气环流及海气通量异常之间的关系进行了研究,结果发现150°E以东的低纬海区是台风频数年际异常变化最显著的区域,台风频数与低层大气环流异常、潜热通量和短波辐射通量变化有着密切的联系:当副热带高压强度减弱(增强)、脊线偏北(南)、主体东移(西伸)时,季风槽加深东进至160°E(西退至140°E),低纬的纬向西风加强(减弱),海洋输送给大气较多(少)潜热通量,盛行的纬向西风携带着季风槽南侧的暖湿水汽与副热带高压南缘偏东气流的水汽输送在150°E以东(以西)的低纬海区辐合,150°E以东辐合上升的暖湿气团吸收的短波辐射偏多(少),有利于(不利于)形成高温高湿的不稳定结构,台风能量不断(不易)积累,在低层强(弱)辐合、高层强(弱)辐散的环境场作用下,有利于(不利于)台风在150°E以东的低纬海区的生成。     

珠江河口潮能收支研究

Tidal energy budget in the Zhujiang(Pearl River) Estuary(ZE) is evaluated by employing high-resolution baroclinic regional ocean modeling system(ROMS). The results obtained via applying the least square method on the model elevations are compared against the tidal harmonic constants at 18 tide stations along the ZE and its adjacent coast. The mean absolute errors between the simulation and the observation of M_2, S_2, K_1 and O_1 are 4.6, 2.8, 3.2 and 2.8 cm in amplitudes and 9.8°, 15.0°, 4.6° and 4.6° in phase-lags, respectively. The comparisons between the simulated and observed sea level heights at 11 tide gauge stations also suggest good model performance. The total tidal energy flux incoming the ZE is estimated to be 343.49 MW in the dry season and larger than 336.18 MW in the wet season, which should due to higher mean sea level height and heavier density in the dry season. M_2, K_1, S_2, O_1 and N_2, the top five barotropic tidal energy flux contributors for the ZE,import 242.23(236.79), 52.97(52.08), 24.49(23.96), 16.22(15.91) and 7.10(6.97) MW energy flux into the ZE in dry(wet) season, successively and respectively. The enhanced turbulent mixing induced by eddies around isolated islands and sharp headlands dominated by bottom friction, interaction between tidal currents and sill topography or constricted narrow waterways together account for the five energy dissipation hotspots, which add up to about 38% of the total energy dissipation inside the ZE.     

利用TOPEX/Poseidon高度计资料提取的太平洋M2内潮能通量分布

基于内波动力学方程,提出利用TOPEX/Poseidon高度计资料提取内潮的方法.利用该方法,结合1992年10月到2002年6月共10a的TOPEX/Poseidon高度计资料和Levitus(1998)资料,给出了整个太平洋M₂内潮能通量的分布,并与观测资料进行比测,两者符合较好.同时也发现沿整个太平洋边界M₂内潮能通量向大洋内部输入的总功率为58.4GW,其中北太平洋对此贡献为30.2GW,南太平洋为28.2GW,可见南、北太平洋的贡献是基本相等的.东太平洋的总量为17.8GW,而西太平洋为40.6GW,两者差异较大(以160°W作为东、西太平洋分界线).     

从潮能通量变化看6000a以来长江口的迁移

引入潮能通量变化的概念,将河口区沉积动力环境、泥沙运移与能量变化联系起来,以东中国海三维高精度潮波模拟为基础,对长江口演变进行研究。模拟结果表明,全新世最大海侵以来,科氏力造成的潮能通量变化在长江口、杭州湾、舟山群岛及其外侧始终为负,减少的方向为西北;其负值区界于东经124°以西及北纬28°以北。说明科氏力的作用是使泥沙在长江和杭州湾口及其外侧邻近海域沉积,且沉积体向东南方向发育;在现代长江口外海区沉积动力环境条件下,长江口向东南迁移的范围不会越过东经124°、北纬28°这一界线。舟山群岛造成的潮能通量变化与科氏力的作用一致,但其作用量较小,仅为科氏力的1／50,影响范围也较局限。     

西北太平洋海气界面热通量时空分布特征研究

基于第三版本HOAPS（HamburgOceanAtmosphereParametersandFluxesfromSatelliteData）海表面温度、潜热通量、感热通量、海表面空气比湿以及海表面风场5个参量的18a（1988~2005年）逐月平均资料,利用经验正交函数和奇异值分解方法分析了异常潜热和感热通量场在西北太平洋的时空分布特征及造成这种分布的主要影响因素。EOF的分析结果表明,异常潜热通量场主要体现为第一第二两个模态的变化,第一模态显示整个海域呈同相变化且在时间上呈准年周期变化,第二模态则描述了分别位于10°N,25°N和40°N的3个极值中心并伴随多年振荡,由因子载荷分布可知热带太平洋是第二模态的行为中心,因此该模态可能与ENSO事件相关。异常感热通量场则主要表现为第一模态的变化,在时间上呈准年周期变化并伴随有多年时间尺度的振荡。奇异值分解方法的分析结果表明异常海表面风场是异常潜热和感热通量场时空变化的重要影响因素。     

珠江河口的能量传播和能量耗散

建立了包括河网区、河口湾区和近海水域的ECOMSED-3D数学模型,计算了珠江河口的能量传播和能量耗散特征。研究表明:1)珠江河口能量来源受潮汐和径流共同作用,季节性变化明显;2)珠江河口存在若干高能耗区,其单位面积能耗率比上下游河段平均能耗率高1—2个量级,它们和一定的动力结构与地貌单元相联系。根据地貌特征和消能特点,可以划分为以下3种类型:门的高能耗区、曲折河段高能耗区和分汊汇流高能耗区。

西北太平洋超强台风时空分布特征及其成因

本文对美国飓风中心资料进行了分析,结果表明,我国仅福建宁德．浙江宁波之间沿海及台湾岛可能受到超强台风的袭击,其他沿海区域则未见有超强台风影响。随着气候不断变暖,极端天气经常被刷新,超强台风很有可能在120℃以西出现。28℃以上的海温、高空小的风速切变、有利的环境背景、强的暖洋流形成的高海温区、低纬度星罗棋布的岛屿及南半球强冷空气活动形成强的向北越赤道气流等因素是西北太平洋比其他洋域发生更多热带气旋、更多超强台风活动的重要原因。

Tidal Mixing in the Kuril Straits and Its Impact on Ventilation in the North Pacific Ocean

A numerical study using a 3-D nonhydrostatic model has been applied to baroclinic processes generated by the K ₁ tidal flow in and around the Kuril Straits. The result shows that large-amplitude unsteady lee waves are generated and cause intense diapycnal mixing all along the Kuril Island Chain to levels of a maximum diapycnal diffusivity exceeding 10³ cm²s⁻¹. Significant water transformation by the vigorous mixing in shallow regions produces the distinct density and potential vorticity (PV) fronts along the Island Chain. The pinched-off eddies that arise and move away from the fronts have the ability to transport a large amount of mixed water (∼14 Sv) to the offshore regions, roughly half being directed to the North Pacific. These features are consistent with recent satellite imagery and in-situ observations, suggesting that diapycnal mixing within the vicinity of the Kuril Islands has a greater impact than was previously supposed on the Okhotsk Sea and the North Pacific. To examine this influence of tidal processes at the Kurils on circulations in the neighboring two basins, another numerical experiment was conducted using an ocean general circulation model with inclusion of tidal mixing along the islands, which gives a better representation of the Okhotsk Sea Mode Water than in the case without the tidal mixing. This is mainly attributed to the added effect of a significant upward salt flux into the surface layer due to tidal mixing in the Kuril Straits, which is subsequently transported to the interior region of the Okhotsk Sea. With a saline flux into the surface layer, cooling in winter in the northern part of the Okhotsk Sea can produce heavier water and thus enhance subduction, which is capable of reproducing a realistic Okhotsk Sea Mode Water. The associated low PV flux from the Kuril Straits to the open North Pacific excites the 2nd baroclinic-mode Kelvin and Rossby waves in addition to the 1st mode. Interestingly, the meridional overturning in the North Pacific is strengthened as a result of the dynamical adjustment caused by these waves, leading to a more realistic reproduction of the North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) than in the case without tidal mixing. Accordingly, the joint effect of tidally-induced transport and transformation dominating in the Kuril Straits and subsequent eddy-transport is considered to play an important role in the ventilation of both the Okhotsk Sea and the North Pacific Ocean. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Intraplate Seamounts of the Northwest Sector of the Pacific Ocean

A method is proposed for identifying seamounts in the northwest sector of the Pacific based on the following criteria: a closed, close to isometric contour of the isobaths at the base of a structure, its quasi-conical shape, and angles of slope exceeding 5° within the limits of the closed contour. A catalog of the mountains has been compiled, consisting of 1995 objects and their quantitative characteristics. The catalog data were statistically processed, and the following was calculated: the correlation between the number of seamounts from the radius of their base and volume, the distribution of the number of mountains, and the total volume within the study area. It is shown that seamounts are characterized as multiscale, and they are located very unevenly: areas with and without their accumulation are distinguished, and the composition of volcanic rocks is typically isotopically and geochemically heterogeneous. It is concluded that currently there is no single geodynamic model that can explain the revealed phenomena in their entirety. At the same time, the data suggest that the nature of some magma chambers that feed intraplate volcanoes is caused by transformation of energy in the lithosphere as a nonlinear open system.
