Interannual variations of the Hawaiian Lee Countercurrent (HLCC) in the 2000s were investigated using satellite and Argo profiling
float observations. The satellite-observed sea surface height shows that the geostrophic eastward current was anomalously
strong to the west away from Hawaii in 2003 and 2005. However, the trade winds and the orographic wind curl dipole in the
lee of Hawaii that drives the climatological mean HLCC were not particularly strong in these years, suggesting that the accelerations
of the HLCC were not caused by the wind stress curl forcing around Hawaii and subsequent Rossby wave propagation. Using Argo
observations, we found negative potential vorticity (PV) anomalies in the subsurface north of the HLCC in these 2 years. The
pycnocline is lifted northward as low PV waters of different densities stack up in the vertical, and the HLCC is then accelerated
via the thermal wind. The intensification and/or southward intrusion of the eastern subtropical mode water and subtropical
mode water seem to have induced negative PV anomalies in 2003 and 2005, respectively. Using high-resolution ocean simulations,
we confirmed the migrations of PV anomalies and their contributions to the HLCC accelerations. Although the HLCC is located
away from the cores of major mode waters, our results suggest that interannual variations of the HLCC are affected by those
of mode waters. 相似文献

Research and development of the New Generation Sea Surface Temperature for Open Ccean (NGSST-O) product and its demonstration operation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Real-time generation and distribution of the New Generation Sea Surface Temperature for Open Ocean (NGSST-O) product began
in September 2003 as a demonstration operation of the Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE) High-Resolution Sea
Surface Temperature Pilot Project. Satellite sea surface temperature (SST) observations from infrared radiometers (AVHRR,
MODIS) and a microwave radiometer (AMSR-E) are objectively merged to generate the NGSST-O product, which is a quality-controlled,
cloud-free, high-spatial-resolution (0.05° gridded), wide-coverage (13–63° N, 116–166° E), daily SST digital map. The NGSST-O
demonstration operation system has been developed in cooperation with the Japanese Space Agency (JAXA) and has produced six
years of continuous data without gaps. Comparison to in situ SSTs measured by drifting buoys indicates that the root mean-square error of NGSST-O has been kept at approximately 0.9°C. 相似文献

A global data set describing the gridded mixed-layer depth (MLD) in 10-day intervals was produced using high-quality Argo
float data from 2001 to 2009. The characteristics and advantages provided by the new MLD data set are described here, including
a comparison based on two different thresholds and using data sets of different vertical and temporal resolution. The MLD
in the data set was estimated on the basis of a shallower depth of the iso-thermal layer (TLD) or iso-pycnal layer (PLD),
calculated using the finite difference method. The MLD data are incorporated into 2° × 2° grid in the global ocean, including
marginal seas. Also, two threshold values were used to examine differences in the MLD and its seasonal temporal variability.
The characteristics and advantages of using the Argo 10-day intervals to determine the MLD were then confirmed by comparing
those data with the station buoy daily means and the Argo monthly means. With respect to vertical and temporal resolutions,
the Argo 10-day data has two distinct advantages: (1) improved representation of the MLD vertical change due to high vertical
resolution, especially during periods of large MLD variability and (2) more detailed representation of the temporal change
in MLD than achieved with the Argo monthly mean data, especially from winter to spring in mid and high latitudes. These advantages
were maintained in the case of a larger threshold despite the fact that the MLD is rather deep and the detailed variation
in its distribution differs depending on the season and location. This study also investigated the relative influence of TLD
and PLD to the MLD calculation for each grid. Generally, the MLD is primarily determined based on the PLD at low and mid latitudes
(TLD > PLD), whereas the TLD is more important at high latitudes, especially in winter (TLD < PLD). In the case of a larger
threshold, the area of the larger PLD influence spreads polewards because of the greater effect of salinity in winter. Although
there are some differences in the effect of temperature and salinity in estimations of the MLD, both are indispensable factors
for the MLD estimations even at different thresholds. 相似文献

Global surface layer salinity change detected by Argo and its implication for hydrological cycle intensification 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We investigated changes in the global distribution of surface-layer salinity by comparing 2003–2007 Argo-float data with annual
mean climatological surface-layer salinity data for 1960–1989 from the World Ocean Database 2005. The two datasets showed
similar patterns, with low values in subpolar and tropical regions and higher values in the subtropics. The recent Argo data
indicate that the contrast between low and high salinity has intensified in all areas except the subpolar North Atlantic.
The intensified contrast of the surface layer salinity was maintaining for 2003–2007. Using a simple method, we attempted
to estimate evaporation and precipitation changes on the basis of surface-layer salinity changes. The results show a high
probability that the global hydrological cycle has increased in the past 30 years. 相似文献

Various kinds of datasets, such as satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface height, surface velocity produced
by combining surface drifter and satellite altimeter data, and hydrographic data, led to the discovery of an anticyclonic
eddy with lower SST than those of surrounding waters in the Kuroshio recirculation region south of Shikoku, as if the eddy
were cyclonic. This anticyclonic eddy was formed east of Kyushu in late August to early September 1999 from the merger of
two anticyclonic eddies which had migrated in the recirculation region to the sea south of Japan from the east. After the
merger, the anticyclonic eddy strengthened abruptly and began to exhibit the low SST. In October, this eddy coalesced with
the Kuroshio and moved swiftly eastward, accompanied by an amplitude growth of the Kuroshio meander. In mid November, off
the Kii Peninsula, the eddy detached from the meandering Kuroshio. It then moved southwestward and again slowly propagated
westward along the 30°N line. During this period, at least from late October 1999 to January 2000, SSTs over the anticyclonic
eddy were found to be continuously lower than those of surrounding waters. This case tells us that we have to pay careful
attention to the interpretation of mesoscale SST distributions.
