The CTD survey data collected in the course of implementation of the POLYGON-70 and POLYMODE projects are applied to gain
a deeper insight into the structure of the sound speed field and elements of its vertical stratification in the areas of synoptic-scale
vortical formations of the North-West Atlantic. The effect of vortical features on the structure of the acoustic fields is
studied in the ray approximation.

Usingin situ temperature and salinity observations from the Marine Hydrophysical Institute's oceanographic data set, regularities of the
formation of structure and seasonal variability of the calculated sound speed field, as well as elements of the latter's vertical
stratification in the South Crimea shelf area, have been studied. The ray approximation is applied to consider the influence
of seasonal variations of the vertical hydrologic-and-acoustic structure on the propagation of sound in the sea.

Advection, straining, and vertical mixing play primary roles in the process of estuarine stratification. Estuaries can be classified as salt-wedge, partially-mixed or well-mixed depending on the vertical density structure determined by the balancing of advection, mixing and straining. In particular, straining plays a major role in the stratification of the estuarine water body along the estuarine channel. Also, the behavior of a salt wedge with a halocline shape in a stratified channel can be controlled by the competition between straining and mixing induced by buoyancy from the riverine source and tidal forcing. The present study uses Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM) to show that straining and vertical mixing play major roles in controlling along-channel flow and stratification structures in the Seomjin river estuary (SRE) under idealized conditions. The Potential Energy Anomaly (PEA) dynamic equation quantifies the governing processes thereby enabling the determination of the stratification type. By comparing terms in the equation, we examined how the relative strengths of straining and mixing alter the stratification types in the SRE due to changes in river discharge and the depth resulting from dredging activities. SRE under idealized tidal forcing tends to be partially-mixed based on an analysis of the balance between terms and the vertical structure of salinity, and the morphological and hydrological change in SRE results in the shift of stratification type. While the depth affects the mixing, the freshwater discharge mainly controls the straining, and the balance between mixing and straining determines the final state of the stratification in an estuarine channel. As a result, the development and location of a salt wedge along the channel in a partially mixed and highly stratified condition is also determined by the ratio of straining to mixing. Finally, our findings confirm that the contributions of mixing and straining can be assessed by using the conventional non-dimensional parameters with respect to salt-wedge behavior. 相似文献

Influence of stratification and irradiance regime on summer phytoplankton composition in coastal and shelf seas of the British Isles 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The effect of interaction between stratification and irradiance regimes on phytoplankton community structure was investigated in three shelf/coastal regions of the British Isles, each of which displayed ranges of vertical stability and light attenuation. Relationships between vertical stability, light penetration and community structure were indicated by the ordination of dominance (assessed using cell volume) of the main phytoplankton phyletic groups—diatoms, dinoflagellates and microflagellates—on a surface defined by a bulk stratification index () and water column depth, scaled by transparency (λh). Diatom- and dinoflagellate-dominated communities occupied distinctly different domains on the - λh surface, diatoms being favoured in well-mixed water columns with high values for λh and dinoflagellates dominating where stratification was strong and λh was low. Microflagellates were not abundant in any of the study areas and showed no clear ordination on the - λh surface. The domain of co-dominance of diatom and dinoflagellates on the - λh surface was narrow with small changes in the irradiance or stratification regime resulting in a switch to diatom or dinoflagellate dominance. It is suggested that loss of non-motile diatom communities in strongly stratified water columns might be a strong selective force in favour of dinoflagel-lates. However, in water columns with intermediate stratification and optical properties, the outcome of competition may be decided by physiological attributes of the two groups with respect to growth in low and fluctuating irradiances. 相似文献

On the basis of the results derived by theoretical analysis [1] and laboratory physical modelling [2] of the circulation seawater
and stratification, induced by buoyancy fluxes, the suggestion has been made that, possibly, the Black Sea currents system
is three-layered. It has been supposed that an anticyclonic current flows in the basin.
To verify this deduction, the data from MHI's archived dataset have been treated, and results from twoad hoc expeditions are submitted here. Analysis of the vertical structure of currents, based on thein situ velocity measurements, using various means and calculations of the geostrophic circulation, has confirmed that a flow with
the theoretically predicted parameters may exist in the Black Sea.

A static adaptive grid approximates the topography and defines the vertical resolution in Vector-Ocean-Model (VOM). The adaptation to topography creates unstructured grids, which are organised in a one-dimensional vector by column-wise storage of only wet cells. The model’s name reflects this data structure. The intention of VOM is better resolving flow and stratification near topographic boundaries in Z-coordinates. This is the second part of a publication that describes the generation of adaptive grids (part I), and simulations with VOM in unstructured grids (this part). Adaptive grids generated for a synthetic topography in part I include shelf, continental slope, and ocean. Three of those grids are here utilised in upwelling simulations. Under the same forcing increased vertical resolution at seabed and slopes yields a significant increase in flow energy as compared to coarser grids. Results allow explaining the surface intensification of a continental slope jet by vertical displacements of water masses in the seabed Ekman layer. Results in unstructured grids are almost identical to reference simulations in equidistant grids where the respective smallest grid size of unstructured grids was used. Negative effects of grids on predicted flow and stratification are absent also over particularly rough topography, as demonstrated by using vertical velocity as most sensitive indicator. In a further simulation an overflow governed by the advection of water mass properties is presented to demonstrate the conservation properties of the model. After 5 months of simulation the predicted domain average temperature deviated by 10−8 from the initial temperature field. Compared to equidistant grids the advection/diffusion scheme looses about one order of magnitude in accuracy when used in an unstructured grid. The results of VOM, being defined in Z-coordinates, are void of coordinate transformation errors. In an arbitrary topography unforced zero-flow remains quiescent in a stratification that only varies in the vertical. VOM due to its depth-independent vertical resolution appears particularly suitable for simulations of ocean-shelf exchange. 相似文献

The paper addresses the theoretical problem of electromagnetic fields induced by surface and internal waves in a fluid with
continuously stratified electrical conductivity and density. Calculations of the electromagnetic fields induced by the wave
motion in the tropical Atlantic have been performed considering the exponentially changing electrical conductivity in the
vertical. The consideration of the electrical conductivity stratification is shown to be capable of modifying electromagnetic
fields in the individual fluid layers by about 50%, and the role of this stratification is shown to increase with the growth
of the wave period.

The paper considers the statement of the problem on quasi-stationary diagnosis of currents, temperature, salinity, and density
fields for multiply connected areas with fluid boundaries. The principles of self-similar parameterization over the vertical
axis are applied by introducing models for the vertical substance distribution, which have two regularly varying functions.
The problem is reduced to handling a set of Poisson equations, enabling the boundary conditions to be automatically determined
at the island shores. A scheme is presented for calculating current velocity components at an arbitrarily oriented transect.
Several examples of current velocity computation for the topographically complex oceanic areas are given which support the
data collectedin situ.

A number of parameterisations for the simulation of mixing processes in the thermocline are compared and tested against the microstructure data of the PROVESS campaigns, conducted in the northern part of the North Sea during the autumn of 1998. The transport term in the turbulent kinetic energy equation is parameterised via the introduction of a third stability function Sk for turbulent energy diffusion. The formulations are compared with a simpler scheme based upon limiting conditions for turbulence variables. Improved results are obtained with a new form of Sk. The best agreement is, however, found with the simpler limiting scheme. This is explained in terms of a turbulence length scale theory for stably stratified turbulence. In agreement with previous laboratory and ocean data it is found that the ratios of the Thorpe and Kolmogorov scales to the Ozmidov length scale approach critical limiting values in the thermocline. The first of these conditions is satisfied when limiting conditions are implemented into the scheme, providing the necessary minimum value for the dissipation rate, whereas the schemes without limiting conditions fail to produce this critical ratio. The basic reason for this failure is that the Thorpe scale is overestimated, which is shown to be connected to an even larger overprediction of the dissipation rate of temperature variance. To investigate the impact of non-resolved advective processes and salinity stratification on the turbulence predictions, additional numerical experiments were conducted using a simple scheme for data assimilation. The best agreement is found again with the limiting scheme, which is able to make reasonable predictions for the dissipation rate without knowing the detailed shape of the mean stratification profile. It is shown that advective transport due to tidally and wind-driven motions has a non-negligible impact on vertical mixing. This is seen in the data and the models by periodic enhancements of turbulent mixing inside the thermocline. 相似文献

The paper is concerned with the evaluation of the drift current parameters derived through the use of an analytical model.
In this model, effective when stratification is stable and indifferent, the vertical turbulence coefficient profile is prescribed
by the power function, and hydrodynamic quantities are prescribed using the external parameters of the problem (wind stress,
the Coriolis parameter, and the dimensionless stratification parameter). Model data are compared with the observations of
the upper mixed layer in the vicinity of the oceanic Station C, conducted during one year. It is shown that, under the spring-summer-time
warming conditions, the model at issue is capable of adequately simulating the upper ocean layer dynamics.

We discuss the results of the numerical experiment aimed at the simulation of the behavior of currents and transformations
of the temperature and salt modes in the Sevastopol Bay in January–February 1997. In the numerical analysis, we use actual
data on the velocity and direction of the wind, sea surface temperature, and the discharge of River Chernaya. It is shown
that the circulation and structure of hydrological fields are mainly connected with the direction of the wind, its intensity,
and variability in the course of time. Since the analyzed water area is shallow, the currents inside the bay undergo rapid
transformations (less than for an hour after changes in the wind). At the same time, the transformations of the thermohaline
fields are slower. Due to the inflow of fresh waters of River Chernaya and salt waters from the open sea through the strait,
the structure of thermohaline fields formed in the bay is nonuniform (both in the vertical and horizontal directions). The
distribution of salinity plays the main role in the formation of the vertical stratification, which is natural for the winter
season. Due to the process of freshening of water, a quite high vertical salinity gradient is formed in the upper layer of
the sea. As a result, the process of cooling does not lead to the appearance of convection and inversions of temperature are
formed in the case where warmer waters are located in the bottom layers.

对长江口2002年和2003年共4个潮周期的数据进行了分析,通过流速对数剖面公式计算边界层参数,并对各个潮周期内的边界层参数的变化规律进行了分析,同时也对悬沙输送可能对垂向水流结构以及边界层参数造成的影响进行了探讨。结果表明,悬沙的时间分布特征对温度、盐度、水体密度的分布格局有重要影响,主要表现在水体的Rf值普遍较高,分层稳定。此外,悬沙也可影响边界层参数,从而对水流结构产生影响。由于水体的层化作用,使层间的摩擦阻力增大,相当于在垂向上产生不同内边界层,因而影响了流速在垂向上的变化。 相似文献

A study was conducted to understand the mechanisms driving observed subtidal variability in the stratification of Saldanha Bay, located in the southern Benguela system. It was found that the 6–8 day period variability in bay stratification was caused by the inflow and outflow of cold upwelled water driven by changing baroclinic pressure gradients between the coastal and bay domains. The direction and magnitude of the pressure gradients were governed by coastal upwelling activity and a lag in the response of the bay to changes in density structure in the coastal ocean. When the pressure gradients were bayward and cold water was being driven into the bay the cycle was termed to be in an ‘ active phase ’ and the reverse was termed the ‘ relaxation phase ’. The upwelling-favourable equatorward wind stress impacted the bay stratification in two ways: on the regional scale, wind drives upwelling and governs the inflow–outflow of cold upwelled bottom water, which strengthens stratification; conversely, on the local bay scale, wind drives vertical mixing, which weakens stratification. A four-phase model is used to describe the observed variability in stratification in the bay. The associated density-driven exchange flows are capable of flushing the bay in 6–8 days, about one-third of the time for tidal exchange alone (c. 25 days). These inflows of cold bottom water are ecologically critical as they supply nutrients to the bay and thus impose a control on new production within the bay environment. Further ecological implications of this bay–ocean exchange include export of phytoplankton new production to the coast, limitation of the risk of harmful algal blooms (HABs) and the division of the system into two distinct ecosystems (bay and lagoon). 相似文献

Estimation of boundary values in a North Atlantic circulation model using an adjoint method 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
A 1° × 1° resolution version of the MIT-GCM in the North Atlantic is used to test whether open-boundary conditions can be constrained by observations inside the domain using an adjoint method. In this preliminary feasibility study, the model is run during 1993 with a simplified vertical mixing physics. It is constrained by monthly SST fields, monthly climatological θ, S fields and TOPEX/POSEIDON altimetry. The adjoint model is built using automatic differentiation software. The method aims at bringing the model’s trajectory to consistency with data, by adjusting the initial θ, S fields, the time-varying atmospheric forcing fields and the time-varying open-boundary values. An originality of the work is the ‘nested approach’, which uses optimized fields from a global, coarser resolution model for the open-boundary conditions and for the prior estimates of the surface conditions adjustments. A solution is obtained after 75 iterations. This study shows that significant changes can be obtained on the open-boundary values, and that a general improvement in the circulation is achieved in the constrained solution, mainly in the Gulf Stream and equatorial regions. Changes at the open boundaries are characterized by a large temporal variability and small spatial scales. Large local adjustments are found close to the bottom and are likely unrealistic. There, the method tends to compensate for some model’s deficiencies by computing large corrections on the open-boundary values. The analysis of the cost function gradients with respect to the controls allows us to explore the local consistency between the constraints from the different data sets. This study suggests that no fundamental difficulty emerges when constraining open-boundary values. Its extension to a longer run with complete mixing physics can be envisaged. 相似文献

The vertical structure of the climatic and seasonal fields of the estimated speed of sound in the north-east Atlantic Ocean is considered. Zonation according to typicalc(z) profiles allowing for seasonal variations was carried out. It is shown that the water areas with a dual-channel vertical hydroacoustic structure vary essentially throughout the year. The features of the structure of the sound speed field in the lenses of the Mediterranean Sea waters are investigated. The effect produced by a lens on the characteristics of the sound propagation is studied.Translated by Mikhail M. Trufanov. 相似文献

The effect of environmental variables on the vertical structure of larval fish assemblages in a tropical coastal lagoon was analyzed. Ichthyoplankton samples were collected from the near-bottom and surface strata near the mouth of a subtropical lagoon during contrasting seasonal conditions of temperature, photoperiod, light intensity, and tidal heights. During summer, larval fish assemblages had high species richness (R) and were dominated by tropical species. During winter, assemblages had lower R values and were dominated by subtropical and temperate species. Vertical distribution patterns of the taxa were determined by the interaction of environmental variables and behavior of each species to maintain their position in a stratum in the water column, or to achieve vertical migrations induced by environmental stimuli that, in this case, were thermal gradient, column water stratification, and intensity of light. Depth position and vertical migration of fish larvae, coupled with the flood and ebb tide conditions, played an important role in their retention and displacement toward the lagoon. Fish larvae with distribution restricted to the inner part of the inlet, such as Achirus mazatlanus, Etropus sp., and several gobies, were more abundant in the near-bottom stratum during the ebb tide, allowing them to avoid exportation, whereas those that could spawn outside, but depended on the inlet as a nursery area, were more abundant near the surface during flood tide, such as Abudefduf troschelii and Stegastes rectifraenum. 相似文献

On the basis of the data of field measurements, we present the results of numerical analysis of the intensity of vertical
turbulent exchange in stratified layers of the Black Sea in the region of the shelf–continental-slope boundary depending on
the local stratification. The experiments were carried out within the framework of the GEF/BSERP and Black Sea-2004 international projects. The data were obtained by using a probing version of the Sigma-1 measuring complex. In processing the data of measurements, we apply a procedure of evaluation of the coefficient of vertical
turbulent diffusion depending on the external conditions based on the analysis of the spectra of the gradient of temperature
fluctuations. For the two studied regions of the shelf, the coefficients of turbulent exchange turn out to be much higher
(by about an order of magnitude) than for the open sea under similar conditions. This can be explained by the specific features
of the bottom topography affecting the dynamics of quasiinertial waves playing to role of the main causes of small-scale mixing
and vertical diffusion.

The stratification in the Northern Gulf of Eilat/Aqaba follows a well-known annual cycle of well-mixed conditions in winter, surface warming in spring and summer, maximum vertical temperature gradient in late summer, and erosion of stratification in fall. The strength and structure of the stratification influences the diverse coral reef ecosystem and also affects the strength of the semi-diurnal tidal currents. Long-term (13 months) moored thermistor data, combined with high temporal and vertical resolution density profiles in deep water, show that transitions from summer to fall and winter to spring/summer occur in unpredictable, pulses and are not slow and gradual, as previously deduced from monthly hydrographic measurements and numerical simulations forced by monthly climatologies. The cooling and deepening of the surface layer in fall is marked by a transition to large amplitude, semi-diurnal isotherm displacements in the stratified intermediate layer. Stratification is rebuilt in spring and summer by intermittent pulses of warm, buoyant water that can increase the upper 100–150 m by 2 °C that force surface waters down 100–150 m over a matter of days. The stratification also varies in response to short-lived eddies and diurnal motions during winter. Thus, the variability in the stratification exhibits strong depth and seasonal dependence and occurs over range of timescales: from tidal to seasonal. We show that monthly or weekly single-cast hydrographic data under-samples the variability of the stratification in the Gulf and we estimate the error associated with single-cast assessments of the stratification. 相似文献
