中国周降雨量与相关海域周平均海面水温

应用旋转主成分分析和复变量莫莱特小波变换分析了1982～1995年中国境内实测周降雨量和1982～1994年美国环境预报中心周平均海面水温资料,研究其时空变化特征及其相互关系。结果表明:海面水温乃至降雨量的周年变化,主要源于太阳直射点在南北回归线之间的往复运动和海面云雾覆盖量及其相关联的季风周年变化;依降雨量的周年变化可将中国自然地分为12个降水区,从海气相互作用的角度来看其年际变化主要取决于太阳辐射强度、有效日照率和亚洲夏季风的年际变化;厄尔尼诺只对黄河河套北部和两广降水区年降雨量有较大影响;西太平洋暖池以东海面水温的年际变化仅对黄河河套北部年降雨量有一定影响。     

简单热带海气耦合模型中不同扰动形式间的耦合作用

在局地热平衡情况下研究了简单热带海气耦合模式中不同扰动形式间的耦合，依次讨论了由大气准定常Kelvin波与海洋R0ssby波、大气准定常Rossby波与海洋Kelvin波、大气准定常Kelvin波与海洋KelVin波、大气准定常Rossby波与海洋Rossby波组成的耦合系统的性质，并研究了存在于其中的耦合扰动的特征。     

西沙海域内潮与近惯性内波的相互作用

通过使用西沙海域锚定潜标的测流数据,分析了距浣熊台风路径100 km处海流受浣熊台风影响前后的动能谱、旋转谱和流剪切谱,从而阐明近惯性波,以及近惯性波与全日内潮波的相互作用机制.台风浣熊之后所引起的近惯性波主要在上250 m较强,其能量是普通风场所引起的40倍.近惯性波的能量向下传播至450 m左右,与此同时,强的近惯性流的剪切驱动着惯性波与全日内潮波之间的相互作用,从而产生强的近惯性波与全日内波的耦合波(f+D₁).此三波耦合机制为Davies的波波相互作用理论提供了观测依据,同时,近惯性内波与全日内潮波之间的非线性相互作用,揭示了南海近惯性波能量耗散的一种机制.     

Spatio-temporal variations in the siphonophore community of the northern South China Sea

To understand how hydrological and biological factors affect near-to off-shore variations in the siphonophore community,we sampled zooplankton at 82 stations in the northern South China Sea during summer,winter,and spring.Forty-one species of siphonophore were collected by vertical trawling.The species richness of siphonophores increased from the nearshore to offshore regions in all three seasons of investigation,with maximum richness in summer and minimum richness in winter.The abundance of siphonophores was also higher in summer than in spring and winter,concentrated in the nearshore region in the warm season and scattered in the offshore region in the cold season.Four siphonophore groups were classified according to the frequency of occurrence:nearshore,near-offshore,offshore,and tropical pelagic.Among them,the nearshore group had higher abundance nearshore compared with the offshore.The tropical pelagic group had higher species number offshore than nearshore.Spatial and temporal fluctuations in taxonomic composition and abundance of siphonophores were due to the influence of the coastal upwelling and surface ocean currents of the South China Sea,driven by the East Asia monsoonal system.
