东山岛外海表层水温的亚潮频波动初步研究

本研究通过对东山岛外海浮标观测的表层水温(SST)数据进行分析,发现2016、2017年夏季东山岛外海表层水温均存在周期为5~8 d的亚潮频波动信号,最大振幅分别为3.1 ℃和2.1 ℃。结合卫星遥感SST数据以及风场数据,采用小波分析、交叉小波分析等方法对该现象进行研究分析,结果表明：2016年夏季表层水温中出现的亚潮频波动信号源自短波辐射,表层水温变化滞后短波辐射1天左右;2017年夏季的亚潮频波动源自沿岸风应力,表层水温变化滞后沿岸风应力2天左右。2016年和2017年表层水温出现的亚潮频波动均与台风有关,但信号的来源出现差异是因为2017年台风过境引起了较强的沿岸风松弛现象,在沿岸风中出现了亚潮频波动信号,沿岸风影响上升流变化,进而引起表层水温的变化;2016年由于台风过境引起的沿岸风松弛现象较弱,沿岸风中并未出现亚潮频波动信号,而表层水温中的亚潮频波动信号源自短波辐射,这可能与台风引起局地天气系统的变化有关。     

珠江磨刀门河口水位与海平面、上游流量的联合分布关系异变研究

河口的水位变化是径潮动力相互作用的结果,但近30年来,强人类活动对河口环境的影响已远超环境自我修复能力,导致水位发生异变。为研究这种变化,本文选取人类活动影响剧烈的珠江磨刀门河口作为研究区域,采用Copula方法定量分析在同一上下边界(上游流量和口外海平面)下由强人类活动引起的水位异变。结果表明:1)强人类活动后,河道地形下切显著,外海海平面对沿程各站水位的线性影响增强,上游马口流量对水位的线性影响减弱。2)强人类活动后甘竹至灯笼山站同概率水位事件明显降低;三灶海平面呈上升趋势;马口流量分布特性变化不明显。3)水位与海平面、流量的联合依赖关系发生明显改变,低水位与海平面关系的敏感度增加,而高水位与海平面关系的敏感度下降。低水位与流量关系的敏感度基本不变,而高水位与珠江流量关系的敏感度明显下降。4)强人类活动后各站水位变化幅度变窄,在相同概率海平面及流量驱动下,强人类活动后各站水位均有明显下降,水位与海平面、流量遭遇概率为0.1—0.9时,其月均水位下降幅度达0.01—1.24m。低海平面和低流量联合驱动下各站水位的下降幅度明显小于高海平面和高流量联合驱动下月均水位的变幅,而且上游站位的水位下降幅度明显大于下游站位。本研究成果可为强人类活动的影响辨识及珠三角水资源的合理配置和可持续发展利用等提供技术支撑。

北太平洋环流与风应力场关系的初步探讨

关于东海黑潮变异的原因,管秉贤曾提出东海黑潮的变化是受北太平洋副热带上空风应力涡度的影响,即东北信风边界处的风应力场几乎控制了东海黑潮的变异.那未,如何解释这种海-气之间的遥相关呢? 本文试图通过分析大洋上空风应力场的变异引起大洋水位的升降,大洋海平面的变化导致大洋环流(北赤道流)强度的变化,进而导致近海环流(东海黑潮)强弱的变化这一海气相互作用系统,对上面提到的海-气之间的这种远距离相关关系作进一步的物理解释.     

南海北部沿岸冬季水位亚潮波动特征研究

用时间序列分析方法研究了南海北部水位亚潮波动的基本特征。结果表明南海北部冬季水位亚潮波动能量以福建南部沿岸最强,广东沿岸仅为台湾海峡南部的一半左右,但二者具有相似的谱特征。各站的功率谱峰均出现在3.2,6.4,3.6和2.3d频带。其中3.2和6.4d波动能量最强。此外,在珠江口附近还有10.7d的较弱谱峰。与东海沿岸冬季情况类似,南海北部沿岸水位波动有很高的空间相关性,说明冬季我国东南沿海的亚潮波动受某一共同机制的控制。分析还表明水位波动一致地从东北向西南传播,但在不同岸段传播特征有相当差异。

Response of the low-frequency fluctuations of sea level to atmospheric forcing along the coasts of the Huanghai Sea and the East China Sea

In this paper, the low-frequency fluctuations of sea level and their relationship to atmospheric forcing along the coasts of the Huanghai Sea and the East China Sea are studied. Spectrum analyses are made for the time series of daily mean sea level, atmospheric pressure and wind stress at seven coastal stations. It is found that at all the stations, the main part of the energy of the sea level fluctuations, within the (2-60)-day period, is concentrated on the (12-60)-day period band and that an obvious spectral peak appears at the 3-day period. Along the coast of the Huanghai Sea, variations in the sea level are greater in winter than in summer. In winter, along the coasts of the Huanghai Sea and the East China Sea there is a kind of sea level fluctuations propagating southwards. Among the many factors causing sea level variation, the most obvious one is atmospheric pressure, followed next by the alongshore wind stress.     

The spectrum of subtidal variability in Chesapeake Bay circulation

The advent of long, continuous time series records of circulation in Chesapeake Bay has revealed the existence of large amplitude fluctuations within the subtidal range 0·03–0·6 cycles day⁻¹. These fluctuations represent direct and indirect response of the estuary to variations in wind stress, fresh water inflow, and coastal sea level. The fluctuations in circulation are accompanied by synchronous fluctuations in transportable properties such as salinity and temperature. A quantitative model is presented to explain this variability within the main stem of Chesapeake Bay in terms of a linear reponse to irregular, time-varying meteorological forcing. The model calculates transfer functions and energy spectra of laterally averaged transport, surface elevation, and salinity in two layers separated by a halocline, over the frequency band 0·03–0·6 cycles day⁻¹. Transfer functions between volume transport and wind stress obtained from one-month-long field experiments at three different cross sections in Chesapeake Bay are used to constrain model friction parameters. Using existing estimates for wind stress and coastal sea level energy spectra, energy spectra for volume transport and surface elevation are calculated as a function of longitudinal position. It is found that the observed volume transport spectrum at the mouth of the Bay can be explained quantitatively as the combined response to statistically indepentdent wind stress and sea level fluctuations. Variations in sea level account for 90% of the volume transport variance at the Bay mouth and dominate the volume transport spectrum below 0·375 cycles day⁻¹. In the upper Bay, longitudinal wind stress accounts for most of the variance. A maximum in the volume transport spectrum at 0·4 cycles day⁻¹, caused by a local maximum in the wind spectrum, is found at all upper Bay cross sections.     

Sea level fluctuations in central California at subtidal to decadal and longer time scales with implications for San Francisco Bay, California

Sea level elevations from near the mouth of San Francisco Bay are used to describe the low-frequency variability of forcing of the coastal ocean on the Bay at a variety of temporal scales. About 90% of subtidal fluctuations in sea level in San Francisco Bay are driven by the sea level variations in the coastal ocean that propagate into the Bay at the estuary mouth. We use the 100-year sea level record available at San Francisco to document a 1.9 mm/yr mean sea level rise, and to determine fluctuations related to El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and other climatic events. At time scales greater than 1 year, ENSO dominates the sea level signal and can result in fluctuations in sea level of 10–15 cm. Alongshore wind stress data from central California are also analyzed to determine the impact of changes in coastal elevation at the mouth of San Francisco Bay within the synoptic wind band of 2–30 days. At least 40% of the subtidal fluctuations in sea level of the Bay are tied to the large-scale regional wind field affecting sea level variations in the coastal ocean, with little local, direct wind forcing of the Bay itself. The majority of the subtidal sea level fluctuations within the Bay that are not related to the coastal ocean sea level signal are forced by an east–west sea level gradient resulting from tidally induced variations in sea level at specific beat frequencies that are enhanced in the northern reach of the Bay. River discharge into the Bay through the Sacramento and San Joaquin River Delta also contributes to the east–west gradient, but to a lesser degree.     

Stochastic Modeling of Short Term Variations of Sea Level in Eastern Canada

Hourly sea level records from three stations in eastern Canada (Québec-Lauzon, Harrington-Harbour and Halifax) are analyzed both in frequency domain from 1970 to 1979 and in time domain during 1973. At the three stations, the deterministic model explains 90 to 96% of the total variability of sea level. The semidiurnal and diurnal tides contribute largely to its variations. The residual series, less than 10% of the initial variations of sea level, contain irregular values including extreme values of seiches and storm surges. Such random variations are analyzed and modeled following the method described by Box and Jenkins (1976). The long period variations (2 to 30 days) can be attributed to meteorological forcing (atmospheric pressure and winds). The short period variations (some hours to one day) can be attributed to longitudinal seiches, semidiurnal and diurnal atmospheric tides, and inertial oscillations. The water discharge from the St. Lawrence River contributes 29% of the monthly residual sea level at Qué     

长江河口潮波传播机制及阈值效应分析

河口潮波传播过程受沿程地形(如河宽辐聚、水深变化)及上游径流等诸多因素影响,时空变化复杂。径潮动力非线性相互作用研究有利于揭示河口潮波传播的动力学机制,对河口区水资源高效开发利用具有重要指导意义。本文基于2007—2009年长江河口沿程天生港、江阴、镇江、南京、马鞍山、芜湖的逐日高、低潮位数据及大通站日均流量数据,统计分析不同河段潮波衰减率与余水位坡度随流量的变化特征,结果表明潮波衰减率绝对值与余水位坡度随流量增大并不是单调递增,而是存在一个阈值流量和区域,对应潮波衰减效应的极大值。为揭示这一阈值现象,采用一维水动力解析模型对研究河段的潮波传播过程进行模拟。结果表明,潮波传播的阈值现象主要是由于洪季上游回水作用随流量加强,余水位及水深增大,导致河口辐聚程度减小,而余水位坡度为适应河口形状变化亦有所减小,从而形成相对应的阈值流量和区域。     

Elucidating the dynamics and mixing agents of a shallow fjord through age tracer modelling

The mixing agents and their role in the dynamics of a shallow fjord are elucidated through an Eulerian implementation of artificial tracers in a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model. The time scales of vertical mixing in this shallow estuary are short, and the artificial tracers are utilized in order to reveal information not detectable in the temperature or salinity fields. The fjord's response to external forcing is investigated through a series of model experiments in which we quantify vertical mixing, transport time scales of fresh water runoff and estuarine circulation in relation to external forcing.Using age tracers released at surface and bottom, we quantify the time scales of downward mixing of surface water and upward mixing of bottom water. Wind is shown to be the major agent for vertical mixing at nearly all depth levels in the fjord, whereas the tide or external sea level forcing is a minor agent and only occasionally more important just close to the bottom. The time scale of vertical mixing of surface water to the bottom or ventilation time scale of bottom water is estimated to be in the range 0.7 h to 9.0 days, with an average age of 2.7 days for the year 2004.The fjord receives fresh water from two streams entering the innermost part of the fjord, and the distribution and age of this water are studied using both ageing and conservative tracers. The salinity variations outside this fjord are large, and in contrast to the salinity, the artificial tracers provide a straight forward analysis of river water content. The ageing tracer is used to estimate transport time scales of river water (i.e. the time elapsed since the water left the river mouth). In May 2004, the typical age of river water leaving the fjord mouth is 5 days. As the major vertical mixing agent is wind, it controls the estuarine circulation and export of river water. When the wind stress is set to zero, the vertical mixing is reduced and the vertical salinity stratification is increased, and the river water can be effectively exported out of the fjord.We also analyse the river tracer fields and salinity field in relation to along estuary winds in order to detect signs of wind-induced straining of the along estuary density gradient. We find that events of down estuary winds are primarily associated with a reduced along estuary salinity gradient due to increased surface salinity in the innermost part of the fjord, and with an overall decrease in vertical stratification and river water content at the surface. Thus, our results show no apparent signs of wind-induced straining in this shallow fjord but instead they indicate increased levels of vertical mixing or upwelling during down estuary wind events.     

日本广岛湾非潮汐的水位变化

Nontidal sea level changes generated in Hiroshima Bay of the Seto-Inland Sea in Japan are studied over various time scales, from the sub-tidal （2 d to 1 month） to inter-annual scales （〉2 years）. The total sea level variation produces a standard deviation （STD） of 12.5 cm. The inter-annual component of the sea level variation in Hiroshima Bay oscillates with a STD of 3.4 cm, forming a long-term trend of 4.9 mm/a. The STD of the sea level variation is 9.8 cm for the seasonal component （8 months to 2 years） and 4.7 cm for the intra-seasonal one （1 month to 8 months）. Significant sea level variations with a STD of 4.2 cm also occur in the sub-tidal range. Special attention is paid to the sub-tidal sea level changes. It is found that the upwelling and associated transient sea level changes generated along the north coast of Hiroshima Bay （opened southward） by the strong northerly wind, play a significant role in sub-tidal sea level changes. The transient sea level changes are over 10 cm in most cases when caused by typhoons that pass through the Pacific Ocean offthe Kii Peninsula, located at about 400 km east of Hiroshima Bay. Reasonable sea level changes are evaluated by the balance of pressure forces at the onshore and offshore boundary of the study domain.     

Long-Term and Short-Term Variations of Sea Level in Eastern Canada: A Review

This is a review of sea level data performed at three selected stations (Québec-Lauzon, Harrington Harbour,and Halifax) in eastern Canada in order to investigate the seasonal trends and other long-term and short-term changes which occurred since the beginning of the 20th century. Stations situated in riverine or estuarine regions (e.g., Québec-Lauzon) are significantly affected by freshwater flow in their annual cycle of sea level changes and exhibit a definite maximum in spring and minimum in autumn-winter. Other stations situated in the eastern half of the Gulf of St. Lawrence (e.g., Harrington Harbour) or near the open Atlantic coast (Halifax) mainly follow the general cycle of subarctic regions, with lows in spring-summer and highs in autumn-winter. Such seasonal variations appear to be related to the atmospheric pressure and baroclinic current variations. Secular trends in mean sea level in eastern Canadian waterbodies show a mean rise of about 2.56 mm/yr -1 due to tectonic motions, that is, land subsidence. At several stations in eastern Canada, evidence is found for the influence of the nodal tide (18.6 years), the sunspot cycle (10.8 years), the lunar perigee (8.47 years), the pole tide (14.5 months), the annual cycle (12 months), and semiannual tidal cycle (6 months) in sea level records. Beside long-term oscillations with periods of more than one year, evidence is found for high energetic semidiurnal and diurnal tides where they contribute largely (from 90-95%) to short term variability of sea level. In the residual signal (variations of sea level--tidal variations), short-term variations between 2 to 30 days can be attributed to meterological forcing (atmospheric pressure and winds), longitudinal seiches (2-10 h), atmospheric tides (12 h and 24 h) and inertial oscillations (16-18 h). A regressive model showed that the water discharge from the St. Lawrence River contributes 29% to the monthly residual sea level at Québec-Lauzon. The atmospheric pressure and winds contribute respectively 8.1% and 8.9% at this station. They contribute 52.1% and 7.7% at Harrington Harbour and 41.8% and 14.3% at Halifax. The regression coefficients of residual sea level on atmospheric pressure are respectively estimated to be -1.507 cm. ( hPa ) -1 ( - 0.345 cm. ( hPa ) -1 ), -0.776 cm. ( hPa ) -1 ( - 0.112 cm. ( hPa ) -1 ) and -0.825 cm. ( hPa ) -1 ( - 0.008 cm. ( hPa ) -1 ) at the three stations. Compared to the coefficient of the inverted barometer, estimated to be -1 cm. ( hPa ) -1 , these effects of the atmospheric pressure on sea level variations seem to be amplified at Que´bec-Lauzon by the wind effects (and water discharge) while they are reduced at Harrington Harbour and Halifax.
