Deep seawater in the ocean contains a great deal of nutrients. Stommel et al. have proposed the notion of a “perpetual salt fountain” (Stommel et al., 1956). They noted the possibility of a permanent upwelling of deep seawater with no additional external energy source. If
we can cause deep seawater to upwell extensively, we can achieve an ocean farm. We have succeeded in measuring the upwelling
velocity by an experiment in the Mariana Trench area using a special measurement system. A 0.3 m diameter, 280 m long soft
pipe made of PVC sheet was used in the experiment. The measured data, a verification experiment, and numerical simulation
results, gave an estimate of upwelling velocity of 212 m/day.

A perpetual salt fountain can draw up deep sea water without any artificial energy source. This is one of the ideal ways to draw up deep sea water for nutrient enhancement application. A perpetual salt fountain experiment was carried out in May 2004. The estimated average velocity of the upwelling after 48 h from the start of the experiment was about 7 mm/s, and it continued for about 3 days. The flow rate with a single pipe was estimated as approximately 45 m3/day. The amount of upwelled deep sea water by this single pipe seems too small to be of benefit, but we can easily increase the amount by deploying a number of pipes. 相似文献

The mechanism of enhanced diffusivity occurring in the deep-sea perpetual salt fountain has been investigated experimentally
and numerically. Some factors which possibly contribute to the enhanced diffusivity were found to be the pipe oscillation
with ocean waves and its baffled wall surface. Field experiments in the ocean (Onagawa Bay of Miyagi, Japan) and numerical
simulations were performed to study and confirm the dynamics of the flow and heat transport with enhanced diffusivity occurring
in upwelling deep-sea water. The agreement between the field experimental data and the numerical solutions of an oscillating-wall
boundary condition imposed on the baffled pipe is encouraging, and it indicates the baffled pipe surface subject to the oscillatory
motion leads to the enhanced diffusivity. The buoyancy force and then upwelling velocity can be greatly increased by the enhanced
diffusivity. The dominant mechanism is the occurrence of complicated vortices and vortex shedding leading to efficient mixing
and enhanced diffusion. 相似文献

The transport of nutrient-rich, deep sea water from an artificial upwelling pipe has been simulated. A numerical model has
been built within a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) package. The model considers the flow of the deep sea water
after it is ejected from the pipe outlet in a negatively buoyant plume (densimetric Froude number = −2.6), within a stably
stratified ocean environment subject to strong ocean current cross flow. Two cross-flow profiles were tested with momentum
flux ratios equal to 0.92 and 3.7. The standard k-ε turbulence model has been employed and a range of turbulent Schmidt and Prandtl numbers tested. In all cases the results
show that the rapid diffusion of heat and salinity at the pipe outlet causes the plume to attain neutral buoyancy very rapidly,
preventing strong fountain-like behavior. At the higher momentum flux ratio fountain-like behavior is more pronounced close
to the pipe outlet. The strong cross-current makes horizontal advection the dominant transport process downstream. The nutrient
plume trajectory remains largely within one relatively thin stratified layer, making any ocean cross-flow profile less important.
Very little unsteady behavior was observed. The results show that the nutrient is reduced to less than 2% of its inlet concentration
10 meters downstream of the inlet and this result is largely independent of turbulent Prandtl or Schmidt number. Initial results
would suggest that if such an artificial upwelling were to be viable for an ocean farming project, a large number of upwelling
pipes would be necessary. Further work will have to determine the minimum nutrient concentration required to sustain a viable
phytoplankton population and the required spacing between upwelling pipes. 相似文献

The effects of biological heating on the upper-ocean temperature of the global ocean are investigated using two ocean-only experiments forced by prescribed atmospheric fields during 1990–2007, on with fixed constant chlorophyll concentration, and the other with seasonally varying chlorophyll concentration. Although the existence of high chlorophyll concentrations can trap solar radiation in the upper layer and warm the surface, cooling sea surface temperature (SST) can be seen in some regions and seasons. Seventeen regions are selected and classified according to their dynamic processes, and the cooling mechanisms are investigated through heat budget analysis. The chlorophyll-induced SST variation is dependent on the variation in chlorophyll concentration and net surface heat flux and on such dynamic ocean processes as mixing, upwelling and advection. The mixed layer depth is also an important factor determining the effect. The chlorophyll-induced SST warming appears in most regions during the local spring to autumn when the mixed layer is shallow, e.g., low latitudes without upwelling and the mid-latitudes. Chlorophyll-induced SST cooling appears in regions experiencing strong upwelling, e.g., the western Arabian Sea, west coast of North Africa, South Africa and South America, the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and strong mixing (with deep mixed layer depth), e.g., the mid-latitudes in winter. 相似文献

海山可以通过与洋流的相互作用改变水体结构,促进悬浮体以及海洋生物的再分配,进而影响海洋生物地球化学过程,促进大洋物质和能量交换。西太平洋有着复杂的环流结构,也是海山分布最多的海区之一。为研究西太平洋海山区的悬浮体分布及其控制机制,2017年夏季在西太平洋卡罗琳M4海山区进行现场调查,利用扫描电镜分析了该海山区悬浮体样品的物质组成及分布,并结合温度、盐度和荧光叶绿素a浓度数据,讨论了海山对悬浮体分布的影响。结果表明,M4海山区的悬浮体由生物碎屑、矿物颗粒和絮凝体等组成。海水的强烈层化阻碍了该海山区下层营养物质的上涌,使上层水体呈现出寡营养的特征,导致大部分站位悬浮体丰度较低;但在海山顶部,潮流和海山地形相互作用在山顶上方形成反气旋环流,不仅促进了深水的营养物质向上扩散,使得荧光叶绿素a浓度升高,同时对平流输送来的以及从深水中上涌的悬浮体起到了滞留作用,使山顶上方的悬浮体丰度远高于离山顶较远的位置。随着水深的增大,温、盐跃层的强度减弱,水体中的营养盐浓度升高,为浮游生物的生长提供了适宜的环境,进而使生物碎屑及絮凝体的丰度升高。北赤道潜流挟带来自西太平洋近岸海区的陆源矿物颗粒到达M4海山区,... 相似文献

The impact of topographically catalysed diapycnal mixing on ocean and atmospheric circulation as well as marine biogeochemistry is studied using an earth system model of intermediate complexity. The results of a model run in which diapycnal mixing depends on seafloor roughness are compared to a control run that uses a simple depth-dependent parametrization for vertical background diffusivity. A third model run is conducted that uses the horizontal mean of the topographically catalysed mixing as vertical profile in order to distinguish between the overall effect of larger diffusivities and the spatial heterogeneity of the novel mixing parametrization.The new mixing scheme results in a strengthening of the deep overturning cell and enhances equatorial upwelling. Surface temperatures in the Southern Ocean increase by about 1 K (in the overall effect) whereas cooling of a similar magnitude in low latitudes is generated by the spatial heterogeneity of the mixing. The corresponding changes in the atmospheric circulation involve a weakening of the southern hemispheric Westerlies and a strengthening of the Walker circulation. Biogeochemical changes are dominated by an improved ventilation of the deep ocean from the south. Water mass ages decline significantly in the deep Indian Ocean and the deep North Pacific whereas oxygen increases in the two ocean basins. The representation of the global volume of water with an oxygen concentration lower than 90 μmol/kg in the model is improved using the topography catalysed mixing. Furthermore, primary production is stimulated in equatorial regions through increased upwelling of nutrients and reduced in the oligotrophic gyres. 相似文献

Production regimes in four Eastern Boundary Current systems 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

High productivity (maxima 3 gCm−2 day−1) of the Eastern Boundary Currents (EBCs), i.e. the California, Peru-Humboldt, Canary and Benguela Currents, is driven by a combination of local forcing and large-scale circulation. The characteristics of the deep water brought to the surface by upwelling favorable winds depend on the large-scale circulation patterns. Here we use a new hydrographic and nutrient climatology together with satellite measurements of the wind vector, sea-surface temperature (SST), chlorophyll concentration, and primary production modeled from ocean color to quantify the meridional and seasonal patterns of upwelling dynamics and biological response. The unprecedented combination of data sets allows us to describe objectively the variability for small regions within each current and to characterize the governing factors for biological production. The temporal and spatial environmental variability was due in most regions to large-scale circulation, alone or in combination with offshore transport (local forcing). The observed meridional and seasonal patterns of biomass and primary production were most highly correlated to components representing large-scale circulation. The biomass sustained by a given nutrient concentration in the Atlantic EBCs was twice as large as that of the Pacific EBCs. This apparent greater efficiency may be due to availability of iron, physical retention, or differences in planktonic community structure. 相似文献

Information on the vertical chlorophyll structure in the ocean is important for estimating integrated chlorophyll a and primary production from satellite. For this study, vertical chlorophyll profiles from the Benguela upwelling system and the Angola-Benguela front were collected in winter to identify characteristic profiles. A shifted Gaussian model was fitted to each profile to estimate four parameters that defined the shape of the curve: the background chlorophyll concentration (B 0), the height parameter of the peak (h), the width of the peak (σ) and the depth of the chlorophyll peak (zm ). A type of artificial neural network called a self-organizing map (SOM) was then used on these four parameters to identify characteristic profiles. The analysis identified a continuum of chlorophyll patterns, from those with large surface peaks (>10 mg m?3) to those with smaller near-surface peaks (<2 mg m?3). The frequency of occurrence of each chlorophyll pattern identified by the SOM showed that the most frequent pattern (～12%) had a near-surface peak and the least frequent pattern (～2%) had a large surface peak. These characteristic profile shapes were then related to pertinent environmental variables such as sea surface temperature, surface chlorophyll, mixed layer depth and euphotic depth. Partitioning the SOM output map into environmental categories showed large peaks of surface chlorophyll dominating in water with cool temperature, high surface chlorophyll concentration and shallow mixed layer and euphotic depth. By contrast, smaller peaks of subsurface chlorophyll were in water with warmer temperature, lower surface chlorophyll concentration, intermediate mixed layer and deep euphotic depth. These relationships can be used semi-quantitatively to predict profile shape under different environmental conditions. The SOM analysis highlighted the large variability in shape of vertical chlorophyll profiles in the Benguela. This suggests that an ideal typical chlorophyll profile, as used in the framework of biogeochemical provinces, may not be applicable to this dynamic upwelling system. 相似文献

N2O concentration and its isotopomer ratios were measured over a wide area from San Diego to Honolulu in the eastern subtropical North Pacific (ESNP). Waters in the study area had an N2O maximum (38.2–50.5 nmol kg?1) at 600–1000 m depth, which is similar to the profiles obtained previously in other areas in the North Pacific. We separated the seawater into five water masses (two for the surface layer, two for the middle layer, and one for the deep layer) and deduced N2O production–consumption mechanisms in each water body by use of N2O isotopomer ratios. The results showed that the mechanisms differ slightly among water masses. In the “coastal” surface layer, N2O is produced by nitrification (NH2OH oxidation). In the “open ocean” surface layer, it is produced mainly by nitrifier denitrification and to a lesser extent by nitrification under substrate-limited conditions. In both “upwelling” and “open ocean” middle layers it is produced mainly by denitrification and to a lesser extent by nitrifier denitrification. It is also partly reduced. In the deep layer, it is produced predominantly by denitrification with partial reduction. In this way, isotopomers aid elucidation of production–consumption mechanisms of N2O in the sea even though the mechanisms cannot always be ascertained. 相似文献

Satellite derived sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll data are used to characterise the period of upwelling during a cruise on which two Lagrangian drift experiments were conducted off the Iberian Atlantic coast in August 1998. During the cruise there was a prolonged period of equator-ward winds which favour upwelling; three distinct maxima were observed in the meteorological data interspersed with periods of relaxation. The SST and chlorophyll imagery show upwelling to be active with distinct offshore filaments that are cooler and of higher chlorophyll concentration than the surrounding oceanic water; these filaments represent an important cross-shelf transport mechanism. A front detection methodology has been applied to satellite images and suggests that these filaments are distinct, long-lived features, characterised by enhanced primary production. 相似文献

Using an idealized ocean general circulation model, we examine the effect of “mixing hotspots” (localized regions of intense
diapycnal mixing) predicted based on internal wave-wave interaction theory (Hibiya et al., 2006) on the meridional overturning circulation of the Pacific Ocean. Although the assumed diapycnal diffusivity in the
mixing hotspots is a little larger than the predicted value, the upwelling in the mixing hotspots is not sufficient to balance
the deep-water production; out of 17 Sv of the downwelled water along the southern boundary, only 9.2 Sv is found to upwell
in the mixing hotspots. The imbalance as much as 7.8 Sv is compensated by entrainment into the surface mixed layer in the
vicinity of the downwelling region. As a result, the northward transport of the deep water crossing the equator is limited
to 5.5 Sv, much less than estimated from previous current meter moorings and hydrographic surveys. One plausible explanation
for this is that the magnitude of the meridional overturning circulation of the Pacific Ocean has been overestimated by these
observations. We raise doubts about the validity of the previous ocean general circulation models where diapycnal diffusivity
is assigned ad hoc to attain the current magnitude suggested from current meter moorings and hydrographic surveys. 相似文献

2014年冬季对西太平洋雅浦Y3海山区和从西太平洋暖池区到黑潮源区之间的大洋海域的浮游动物进行了调查研究，分析了海山区和大洋海域大型浮游动物群落的物种组成、丰度和分布，并比较了两个海域大型浮游动物群落的差异，结合温度、盐度和叶绿素a浓度等环境因子数据，分析了海山对大型浮游动物群落的影响。结果表明，Y3海山区和大洋海域的大型浮游动物群落物种组成存在差异，二者的群落相似度系数为68.4%，两个海域的优势种/类群也不尽相同，海山区的优势种/类群是磷虾各期幼体、尖额磷虾和蛮𧊕，而大洋海域的优势种/类群分别是磷虾后期幼体、手磷虾、蛮𧊕、尖额磷虾和莹虾。大型浮游动物群落在海山区的平均丰度和最大丰度都要高于大洋海域，但海山区的生物多样性指数、均匀度指数和生物量占比都低于大洋海域，因而Y3海山对大型浮游动物群落的海山效应不明显。通过相关性分析和主成分分析结果可以看出，海山区的首要影响环境因子是盐度，而大洋海域则是温度；海山区和大洋海域的大型浮游动物丰度分别与200m层盐度和平均温度呈负相关关系，并且在两个调查海域均未发现大型浮游动物的丰度和生物量分布与叶绿素a浓度之间存在显著的相关关系。 相似文献

基于ECCO2 (Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean)、 GLORYS12V1 (Global Ocean Reanalysis and Simulations)、ORA-S5 (Ocean ReAnalysis)三种海洋再分析数据,对比研究了菲律宾海盆深层温盐及环流的季节和年际变化特征。结果表明:三种数据显示的海盆深层温盐季节变化特征基本一致,在3 000～4 000 m水深区域,海水呈春夏两季高温低盐而秋冬季低温高盐特性,4 000 m以下海水温盐季节变化很小;沿西边界,温度与内部有明显差异且季节变化幅度相对较大。沿西边界的输运季节变化特征表现为10月至次年4月输运向南,5—9月输运向北,并且在8月份达最大值;表明存在沿西边界的流动,即菲律宾海盆与南端西卡罗林海盆(West Caroline Basin)之间存在季节性水体交换。海盆深层海水温盐年际变化也十分显著,但不同数据显示的变化特征存在较大差异。EOF和相关分析显示,三种再分析数据的深层位温与ENSO均存在一定相关性,ECCO2的深层位温变化与ENSO的相关性最强。由于长期观测数据较少,再分析数据的结果难以验证,因此目前对年际变化特征的研究仍具有很大的不确定性。 相似文献

The seasonal cycle of phosphate in the world ocean is described using all historical data (over 170,000 profiles) held at the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center and World Data Center-A for Oceanography. Generally, phosphate concentrations are depressed in the season of highest primary production, in conformance with phosphate's role as a major nutrient. Mean phosphate concentration in the North Pacific are twice those in the North Atlantic. The largest seasonal differences occur in the sub-polar North Atlantic and Pacific, where changes in concentration are as large as a factor of two. Temperate and equatorial regions exhibit less seasonal variability. High latitudes, upwelling areas, and river mouths exhibit a notable seasonal signal in phosphate. Enrichment of phosphate from the Amazon and Orinoco rivers appears to dominate the seasonal signal in the tropical Atlantic. In fact, the extent of the rivers’ effects extend so far north into the North Atlantic gyre that it obscures the normal pattern of summer depletion occurring elsewhere in the basin. The seasonal signal in the tropical Pacific Ocean is a function of seasonal variability in the winds, which affect the strength of coastal upwelling. 相似文献

Concurrent measurements of isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) in seawater together with atmospheric concentrations in the Gulf Stream off the Florida coast were made. Florida Straits surface water concentrations of isoprene varied between 9.8 and 50.8 pmol 1−1. Surface water isoprene concentrations showed a positive correlation with measured chlorophyll fluorescence, consistent with the biogenic origin of this non-methane hydrocarbon. Depth profiles showed a maximum in isoprene concentration similar to that of biological productivity as indicated by chlorophyll fluorescence. Daytime atmospheric mixing ratios of isoprene were never above 11 parts-per-trillion (pptv) and eight of eleven samples taken were below the ˜ 5 pptv detection limit. Using an estimated value of the Henry's law constant (KH ˜ 3.1) a supersaturation of surface seawater of 2 to 3 orders of magnitude is estimated.Laboratory grown monocultures of several common phytoplankton species showed production of isoprene. Processes controlling the isoprene concentration in the photic zone of the ocean and the marine boundary layer are discussed. A calculation using a simple time dependent photochemical box model confirmed that isoprene is rapidly consumed by its reaction with the OH radical in the marine atmosphere. 相似文献

Dimethylsulfide (DMS) was determined in surface seawater and vertical hydrographic profiles in the Atlantic Ocean during two cruises from Hamburg to Montevideo (Uruguay), and from Miami (Florida) into the Sargasso Sea. These data cover most of the ecological zones of the Atlantic. DMS concentrations are related to the levels of marine primary production, in agreement with its release by marine phytoplankton in laboratory cultures. The vertical distribution of DMS in the euphotic zone follows that of primary production, with a maximum at or near the ocean surface and a decrease with depth. Below the level of 1% light penetration, DMS levels decline gradually, but DMS remains detectable even in the bottom waters. The mean DMS concentration in surface water is 84.4, and in deep water 3.2 ng S (DMS) 1?1. No steep gradients of DMS exist near the sea surface on scales of centimeters to tenths of millimeters. At a drift station, DMS was observed to be diurnally variable, with an increase in concentration in the euphotic zone throughout the day. DMS is actively turned over in the surface ocean with a residence time of a few days, but it is apparently very stable in the deep sea. DMS is the major volatile sulfur compound in the ocean, and its transfer across the air-sea interface contributes significantly to the atmospheric sulfur budget. 相似文献
