Wind-induced Kuroshio intrusion into the South China Sea 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
The Kuroshio flows north along the east coasts of the Philippines and Taiwan. Between these two land masses lies the Luzon Strait which connects the Pacific Ocean to the South China Sea. The Kuroshio usually flows north past this strait, but at times part or all of it flows west through the strait into the South China Sea forming a loop current. It has been suggested that the loop current forms when the northeast monsoon deflects the Kuroshio through the Luzon Strait. In this study, satellite-derived sea-surface temperature images are used to observe the Kuroshio in the Luzon Strait region. Together with wind data from the region, these observations indicate a loop-current development process which is largely determined by an integrated supercritical wind stress parameter. The loop current grows when a four-day average of the local wind-stress component directed to the south exceeds 0.08 Nm–2. When this average wind-stress component drops below the critical value, the Kuroshio returns to its northward path. 相似文献

A Review on the Currents in the South China Sea: Seasonal Circulation, South China Sea Warm Current and Kuroshio Intrusion 总被引:43,自引:4,他引:43
Researches on the currents in the South China Sea (SCS) and the interaction between the SCS and its adjacent seas are reviewed. Overall seasonal circulation in the SCS is cyclonic in winter and anticyclonic in summer with a few stable eddies. The seasonal circulation is mostly driven by monsoon winds, and is related to water exchange between the SCS and the East China Sea through the Taiwan Strait, and between the SCS and the Kuroshio through the Luzon Strait. Seasonal characteristics of the South China Sea Warm Current in the northern SCS and the Kuroshio intrusion to the SCS are summarized in terms of the interaction between the SCS and its adjacent seas. 相似文献

Intrusion of less saline shelf water into the Kuroshio subsurface layer in the East China Sea 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The possible origin and cause of the less saline shelf water detected in the Kuroshio subsurface layer around the shelf edge
of the East China Sea are investigated using observational results obtained in May 1998–2001 in conjunction with a dataset
archived by Japan Oceanographic Data Center and a numerical model. The observations show that subsurface intrusions of less
saline water are always detected in May in layers above 24.5σθ isopycnal surface, and that salinity inversions (i.e., areas
in which the less saline water lies beneath the saline water) are detected around the trough of the Kuroshio frontal eddy
(or wave). Analyses of the archived dataset reveal that the isopycnal surface of 24.5σθ is the deepest layer of the Kuroshio
pycnocline outcropping to the sea surface on the shallow shelf in early spring. Outcropping isopycnals above 24.5σθ encounter
a less saline water plume originating from the Changjiang, especially in the western East China Sea. Thereafter, the less
saline water moves along isopycnal layers and reaches the Kuroshio front around the shelf edge. Numerical models demonstrate
that, when the frontal wave captures the less saline water, the shelf water takes the form of a salinity inversion in the
trough because isohalines in the frontal wave have a phase lag between the upper and lower layers in consequence of the baroclinic
instability. 相似文献

Interannual variability of the Kuroshio intrusion in the South China Sea 总被引:13,自引:1,他引:13

The interannual variability of intrusions of the Kuroshio into the South China Sea (SCS) is investigated using satellite remote
sensing data supported by in-situ measurements. The mesoscale circulation of the SCS is predominantly wind-forced by the northeast
winter and southwest summer monsoons. Although the region has been studied extensively, considerable uncertainty remains about
the annual and interannual mesoscale nature of the circulation. The frequency and characteristics of Kuroshio intrusions and
their effect on circulation patterns in the northeast SCS are also not well understood. Satellite observations of Sea Surface
Temperature (SST) from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR)
and Sea Surface Height Anomalies (SSHA) from TOPEX/ Poseidon for the period 1997–2005 are used here to analyze the annual
and interannual variability in Kuroshio intrusions and their effects on the region. Analysis of SST and SSHA shows the formation
and characteristics of intrusions vary considerably each year. Typically, the intrusion occurs in the central region of Luzon
Strait and results in an anticyclonic circulation in the northeastern SCS. However, in some years, the intrusion is located
in the northern portion of Luzon Strait and a cyclonic intrusion results. Wind stress and wind stress curl derived from the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) QuikSCAT satellite scatterometer are used to evaluate the relationship
between wind stress or wind stress curl and the presence of winter Kuroshio intrusions into the SCS. 相似文献

Owing to lack of observational data and accurate definition,it is difficult to distinguish the Kuroshio intrusion water from the Pacific Ocean into the South China Sea(SCS).By using a passive tracer to identify the Kuroshio water based on an observation-validated three-dimensional numerical model MITgcm,the spatio-temporal variation of the Kuroshio intrusion water into the SCS has been investigated.Our result shows the Kuroshio intrusion is of distinct seasonal variation in both horizontal and vertical directions.In winter,the intruding Kuroshio water reaches the farthest,almost occupying the area from 18°N to 23°N and 114°E to 121°E,with a small branch flowing towards the Taiwan Strait.The intrusion region of the Kuroshio water decreases with depth gradually.However,in summer,the Kuroshio water is confined to the east of 118°E without any branch reaching the Taiwan Strait;meanwhile the intrusion region of the Kuroshio water increases from the surface to the depth about 205 m,then it decreases with depth.The estimated annual mean of Kuroshio Intrusion Transport(KIT) via the Luzon Strait is westward to the SCS in an amount of –3.86×106 m3/s,which is larger than the annual mean of Luzon Strait Transport(LST) of –3.15×106 m3/s.The KIT above 250 m accounts for 60%–80% of the LST throughout the entire water column.By analyzing interannual variation of the Kuroshio intrusion from the year 2003 to 2012,we find that the Kuroshio branch flowing into the Taiwan Strait is the weaker in winter of La Ni?a years than those in El Ni?o and normal years,which may be attributed to the wind stress curl off the southeast China then.Furthermore,the KIT correlates the Ni?o 3.4 index from 2003 to 2012 with a correlation coefficient of 0.41,which is lower than that of the LST with the Ni?o 3.4 index,i.e.,0.78. 相似文献

The Kuroshio near the Luzon Strait and circulation in the northern South China Sea during August and September 1994 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Wind data from NCEP and hydrographic data obtained from August 28 to September 10, 1994 have been used to compute circulation
in the northern South China Sea and near Luzon Strait using three-dimensional diagnostic models with a modified inverse method.
The numerical results are as follows: the main Kuroshio is located above 400 m levels near Taiwan’s eastern coast and above
800 m levels away from it. Near Luzon Strait above 400 m levels a branch of the Kuroshio joins with a part of the northward
current, which comes from an area west of Luzon’s western coast and intrudes northwestward, then it branchs into western and
eastern parts near 20°30′ N. The eastern part flows northward into an area east of Taiwan, while its western part continues
to intrude northwestward, flowing through an area southwest of Taiwan. Net westward intruded volume transport through longitude
Section AB at 121°00′ E from 19°00′ N to 21° 43′ N is about 3.5 × 106 m3s−1 in a layer above 400 m levels. The anticyclonic eddies W1 and W3 exist above 700 m levels east of Dongsha Islands and below
200 m levels in the eastern part of the region, respectively. The circulation in the middle region is dominated mainly by
a basin-scale cyclonic gyre, and consists of three cyclonic eddies. Strong upwelling occurs in the middle region. The joint
effect of baroclinity and relief and interaction between wind stress and relief both are important for real forcing of flow
across contours of fH
−1 in effecting the circulation pattern. 相似文献

As a fundamental study to evaluate the contribution of the Kuroshio to primary production in the East China Sea (ECS), we
investigated the seasonal pattern of the intrusion from the Kuroshio onto the continental shelf of the ECS and the behavior
of the intruded Kuroshio water, using the RIAM Ocean Model (RIAMOM). The total intruded volume transport across the 200m isobath
line was evaluated as 2.74 Sv in winter and 2.47 Sv in summer, while the intruded transport below 80m was estimated to be
1.32 Sv in winter and 1.64 Sv in summer. Passive tracer experiments revealed that the main intrusion from the Kuroshio to
the shelf area of the ECS, shallower than 80m, takes place through the lower layer northeast of Taiwan in summer, with a volume
transport of 0.19 Sv. Comparative studies show several components affecting the intrusion of the Kuroshio across the 200 m
isobath line. The Kuroshio water intruded less onto the shelf compared with a case without consideration of tide-induced bottom
friction, especially northeast of Taiwan. The variations of the transport from the Taiwan Strait and the east of Taiwan have
considerable effects on the intrusion of the Kuroshio onto the shelf. 相似文献

Using observational data of Argos satellite-tracked drifters from 1988 to 2012, we analyzed seasonal characteristics of the surface Kuroshio branch(KB) intrusion into the South China Sea(SCS). The analysis results are as follows.The surface KB originates from the southern Balintang Channel(BLTC) and Babuyan Channel(BBYC). It begins in late September, reaches peak strength in November–December, and declines at the end of March. The mean speed of drifters along the KB path during their traverse of the Luzon Strait(LS) was 43% faster than during the two days before entering the LS for the flow originating from the southern BLTC, but there was a 24% increase in speed for the flow from the BBYC. The observations show that in winter, monthly-mean sea-level anomalies(SLAs) were positive southwest of Taiwan Island and extended to the northern LS. The SLAs were negative northwest of Luzon Island and extended to the southern LS, which acted like a pump, forcing a part of Kuroshio water westward into the SCS. The condition under which the KB forms was solved by a set of simplified motion equations. The results indicate that whether the KB can form depends upon the sea-level gradient at the central LS and region to the west, as well as the location, speed and direction of Kuroshio surface water when it enters the LS. 相似文献

In this study, high-resolution temperature and salinity data obtained from three Sea-Wing underwater gliders were used together with satellite altimeter data to track the vertical thermohaline structure of an anticyclonic eddy that originated from the loop current of the Kuroshio southwest of Taiwan, China. One of the gliders crossed the entire eddy and it observed a remarkable warm anomaly of as much as 3.9℃ extending to 500 dbar from the base of the mixed layer. Conversely, a positive salinity anomaly was found to be above 200 dbar only in the anticyclonic eddy, with a maximum value of >0.5 in the mixed layer. Below the mixed layer, water of higher salinity (>34.7) was found, which could have been preserved through constrained vertical mixing within the anticyclonic eddy. The salinity in the upper layer of the anticyclonic eddy was much similar to that of the northwestern Pacific Ocean than the northern South China Sea, reflecting Kuroshio intrusion with anticyclonic eddy shedding from the loop current. 相似文献

为了研究南海北部黑潮入侵对内孤立波生成造成的影响,本研究在对合成孔径雷达图像处理分析的基础上,运用二维非静力模式,对南海北部内孤立波生成以及其对黑潮入侵的响应做了初步的模拟和分析。对4 a(2007~2010年)的合成孔径雷达(SAR)图像统计分析发现,内波出现频率呈现明显的季节变化。月平均数据表明,内波出现频率在5月到8月期间较高并在6月达到峰值,占全年总数的29%;而在11月到次年的2月份期间出现频率较低并在12月和1月达到最低,各占全年的0.5%。通过二维、非静力近似数值模拟研究发现:黑潮入侵引起的平流对吕宋海峡区域内孤立波的激发产生具有明显的影响。具体表现为,黑潮入侵引起的的西向平均流拉伸了内孤立波波形并加强内孤立波的能量的频散,使得大振幅内孤立波演变成多个分散的波动,波长变长、振幅变小。敏感性实验通过替换夏季温盐场为冬季温盐场,对模拟结果并无实质上的影响,表明冬夏季温盐场的差异并非是SAR观测内波出现频率呈季节变化的重要因素。 相似文献

黑潮入侵对南海东北部浮游植物群落结构的影响 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To further understand the effect of Kuroshio intrusion on phytoplankton community structure in the northeastern South China Sea(NSCS, 14°–23°N, 114°–124°E), one targeted cruise was carried out from July to August, 2017. A total of 79 genera and 287 species were identified, mainly including Bacillariophyta(129 species), Pyrrophyta(150 species), Cyanophyta(4 species), Chrysophyta(3 species) and Haptophyta(1 species). The average abundance of phytoplankton was 2.14×10~3 cells/L, and Cyanobacterium was dominant species accounting for 86.84% of total phytoplankton abundance. The abundance and distribution of dominant Cyanobacterium were obviously various along the flow of the Kuroshio, indicating the Cyanobacterium was profoundly influenced by the physical process of the Kuroshio. Therefore, Cyanobacterium could be used to indicate the influence of Kuroshio intrusion. In addition, the key controlling factors of the phytoplankton community were nitrogen, silicate, phosphate and temperature, according to Canonical Correspondence Analysis. However, the variability of these chemical parameters in the study water was similarly induced by the physical process of circulations. Based on the cluster analysis, the similarity of phytoplankton community is surprisingly divided by the regional influence of the Kuroshio intrusion, which indicated Kuroshio intrusion regulates phytoplankton community in the NSCS. 相似文献

N2 fixation rates(NFR, in terms of N) in the northern South China Sea(nSCS) and the East China Sea(ECS) were measured using the acetylene reduction assay in summer and winter, 2009. NFR of the surface water ranged from 1.14 nmol/(L·d) to 10.40 nmol/(L·d)(average at(4.89±3.46) nmol/(L·d), n=11) in summer and 0.74 nmol/(L·d) to 29.45 nmol/(L·d)(average at(7.81±8.50) nmol/(L·d), n=15) in winter.

黑潮入侵优化对南海北部中尺度涡旋模拟的影响 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
基于高分辨率海洋环流模式,通过比较吕宋海峡处地形优化后的黑潮入侵形态和强度不同的试验,我们研究了黑潮入侵优化后对南海中尺度涡模拟的影响。我们发现黑潮入侵的减弱导致了涡旋活动的减弱,这使得模式结果与观测结果更为相近。在这种情况下,模式模拟的吕宋海峡西部及北部陆坡区域的涡动动能明显减弱。模式涡动动能的减弱与模式反气旋式涡数量的减少和气旋式涡强度的减弱有关。涡动动能收支的分析进一步表明,黑潮入侵的优化将通过改变水平速度切变和温跃层斜率来改变涡动动能,而这两个参数分别与正压和斜压不稳定性有关。前者在模式涡动动能减弱中起着更为重要的作用,而黑潮入侵导致的涡动动能的水平输送对吕宋海峡西部区域的能量收支同样起着重要的作用。 相似文献

Temperature and salinity data obtained by the Iwate Fisheries Technology Center were analyzed for the period 1971–1995. It
was found that occurrence frequency distributions of temperature and salinity are very skewed at depths deeper than 200 m
and that temperature sometimes exceeds m + 5σ (m: mean and σ: standard deviation. If such abnormally high temperatures are
real the 3σ criterion cannot be adopted. Oceanic conditions were surveyed in 1972 and 1979, when temperatures exceeding m
+ 5σ were observed. It was found that the abnormally high temperature (and high salinity) water was the pure Kuroshio Water
introduced into the region due to some special conditions such as abnormal approach of large warm-core ring to the Sanriku
Coast or abnormal northward extension of the Kuroshio along the coast. These events are very rare, occurring only twice in
the 25-year period analyzed, but the abnormally high temperature observed is real.
