The distribution of the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea and East China Sea (BYECS) is studied based on the observed turbidity data and model simulation results. The observed turbidity results show that (i) the highest SSC is found in the coastal areas while in the outer shelf sea areas turbid water is much more difficult to observe, (ii) the surface layer SSC is much lower than the bottom layer SSC and (iii) the winter SSC is higher than the summer SSC. The Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) is used to simulate the SSC distribution in the BYECS. A comparison between the modeled SSC and the observed SSC in the BYECS shows that the modeled SSC can reproduce the principal features of the SSC distribution in the BYECS. The dynamic mechanisms of the sediment erosion and transport processes are studied based on the modeled results. The horizontal distribution of the SSC in the BYECS is mainly determined by the current-wave induced bottom stress and the fine-grain sediment distribution. The current-induced bottom stress is much higher than the wave-induced bottom stress, which means the tidal currents play a more significant role in the sediment resuspension than the wind waves. The vertical mixing strength is studied based on the mixed layer depth and the turbulent kinetic energy distribution in the BYECS. The strong winter time vertical mixing, which is mainly caused by the strong wind stress and surface cooling, leads to high surface layer SSC in winter. High surface layer SSC in summer is restricted in the coastal areas. 相似文献

The variability of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) is studied using a partially coupled climate model (PCCM) in which the ocean component is driven by observed monthly mean wind stress anomalies added to the monthly mean wind stress climatology from a fully coupled control run. The thermodynamic coupling between the atmospheric and oceanic components is the same as in the fully coupled model and, in particular, sea surface temperature (SST) is a fully prognostic variable. The results show that the PCCM simulates the observed SST variability remarkably well in the tropical and North Pacific and Indian Oceans. Analysis of the rainfall-SST and rainfall-SST tendency correlation shows that the PCCM exhibits local air-sea coupling as in the fully coupled model and closer to what is seen in observations than is found in an atmospheric model driven by observed SST. An ensemble of experiments using the PCCM is analysed using a multivariate EOF analysis to identify the two major modes of variability of the EASM. The PCCM simulates the spatial pattern of the first two modes seen in the ERA40 reanalysis as well as part of the variability of the first principal component (correlation up to 0.5 for the model ensemble mean). Different from previous studies, the link between the first principal component and ENSO in the previous winter is found to be robust for the ensemble mean throughout the whole period of 1958–2001. Individual ensemble members nevertheless show the breakdown in the relationship before the 1980’s as seen in the observations. 相似文献

Eddy momentum fluxes, i.e. Reynold stresses, are computed for the latitude bands of the Gulf Stream and Kuroshio extensions
using 13 years of data from the merged satellite altimeter product of Le Traon et al. The spatial pattern and amplitude of
the fluxes is remarkably similar to that found by Ducet and Le Traon using the 5 years of data that were available to them.
In addition to updating the work of Ducet and Le Traon, we provide new insight into the role played by the underlying variable
bottom topography, both for determining the structure of the eddy momentum fluxes seen in the satellite data and for influencing
the way these fluxes feedback on the mean flow. While there is no clear evidence that eddies locally flux momentum into the
eastward jets of the Gulf Stream and Kuroshio extensions, a clearer picture emerges after zonally integrating across each
of the North Atlantic and North Pacific basins. We argue that the eddy momentum fluxes do indeed drive significant transport,
a conclusion supported by preliminary results from a 3-D model calculation. We also present evidence that in the North Pacific,
the Reynolds stresses are important for driving the recirculation gyres associated with the Kuroshio extension, taking advantage
of new data from both observations and high-resolution model simulations. 相似文献

Numerical study of the storm-induced circulation on the Scotian Shelf during Hurricane Juan using a nested-grid ocean model 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A nested-grid ocean circulation modelling system is used to assess the upper ocean response of the Scotian Shelf and adjacent slope to Hurricane Juan in September 2003. The nested-grid system consists of a fine-grid inner model covering the Scotian Shelf/slope and a coarse-grid outer model covering the northwest Atlantic Ocean. The model-calculated upper ocean response to Hurricane Juan is characterized by large divergent surface currents forced by the local wind forcing under the storm, and intense near-inertial currents in the wake of the storm. The sea surface temperature (SST) cooling produced by the model is biased to the right of the storm track and agrees well with a satellite-derived analysis. Over the deep water, off the Scotian Shelf, some of the near-inertial energy input by the storm is advected eastward by the Gulf Stream away from the storm track. The hurricane also generates shelf waves that propagate equatorward with the coastline on their right. In comparison with the outer model results, the inner model captures more meso-scale structures, greater SST cooling and stronger near-inertial currents in the study region. 相似文献

A new two-way nesting technique is presented for a multiple nested-grid ocean modeling system. The new technique uses the
smoothed semi-prognostic (SSP) method to exchange information between the different subcomponents of the nested-grid system.
Four versions of the new nesting technique are described, together with conventional one-way nesting. The performance of the
different nesting techniques is compared, using two independent nested-grid modeling systems, one for the Scotian Shelf of
the northwest Atlantic Ocean and the other for the Meso-American Barrier Reef System of the northwestern Caribbean Sea. Nesting
using the semi-prognostic method is shown to effectively prevent unrealistic drift of the inner model, while use of the SSP
method avoids unnecessary damping of small scales on the inner model grid. Comparison of the annual-mean flow field with the
near-surface currents determined by Fratantoni (in J Geophys Res 106:2977–2996, 2001) from observed trajectories of near-surface
drifters demonstrates the overall superiority of the nesting technique based on the SSP method. 相似文献

This study examines the circulation and associated monthly-to-seasonal variability in the Caribbean Sea using a regional ocean
circulation model. The model domain covers the region between 99.0 and 54.0°W and between 8.0 and 30.3°N, with a horizontal
resolution of 1/6°. The ocean circulation model is driven by 6-hourly atmospheric reanalysis data from the National Center
for Environmental Prediction and boundary forcing extracted from 5-day global ocean reanalysis data produced by Smith et al.
(Mercator Newsletter 36:39–49, 2010), and integrated for 7 years. A comparison of model results with observations demonstrates that the regional ocean circulation
model has skill in simulating circulation and associated variability in the study region. Analysis of the model results, as
well as a companion model run that uses steady annual mean forcing, illustrates the role of Caribbean eddies for driving monthly-to-seasonal
circulation variability in the model. It is found that vertically integrated transport between Nicaragua and Jamaica is influenced
by the interaction between the density perturbations associated with Caribbean eddies and the Nicaraguan Ridge. The impact
of Caribbean eddies squeezing through the Yucatan Channel is also discussed. 相似文献
