Using hydrographic data of three extended zonal sections, which cover the upper 1000 dbar layer along 10°, 21°, and 32°N in
the North-East Atlantic between 20° and 45°W, observational evidence is presented for zonal wavelengths of resonantly excited,
first mode, long, baroclinic Rossby waves. The amplitudes of associated anomalies in the mass field decrease with increasing
offshore distance. The associated zonal wavelengths reach several hundred kilometres and decrease with increasing latitude.
Due to the Rossby dispersion, the detected wave patterns slowly propagate westward, somewhat faster in the south than in the
north. The results obtained confirm the data sets remotely sensed by satellites, as well as the outcomes of analytical and
numerical models. 相似文献

The interannual variations of sea level at Chichi-jima and five other islands in the subtropical North Pacific are calculated for 1961–95 with a model of Rossby waves excited by wind. The Rossby-wave forcing is significant east of 140°E. Strong forcing of upwelling (downwelling) Rossby wave occurs during El Niño (La Niña) and warm (cold) water anomaly in the eastern equatorial Pacific. The first and second baroclinic modes of Rossby wave are more strongly generated than the barotropic mode in the study area. A higher vertical mode of Rossby wave propagates more slowly and is more decayed by eddy dissipation. The best coefficient of vertical eddy dissipation is determined by comparing the calculated sea level with observation. The variation in sea level at Chichi-jima is successfully calculated, in particular for the long-term change of the mean level between before and after 1986 with a rise in 1986 as well as the variations with periods of two to four years after 1980. It is concluded that variations of sea level at Chichi-jima are produced by wind-forced Rossby waves, the first baroclinic wave primarily and the barotropic wave secondly. The calculation for other islands is less successful. Degree of the success in calculation almost corresponds to a spatial difference in quantity of wind data, and seems to be determined by quality of wind data. 相似文献

During the IOP (Intensive Observation Period) of TOGA/COARE (Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere/Coupled Ocean Atmosphere
Response Experiment) from December 1992 to February 1993, four Japanese moored ADCPs (Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers)
measured vertical profiles of three-component velocities at the stations 2S (2°S, 156°E), 2N (2°N, 156°E), 154E (0°N, 154°E)
and 147E (0°N, 147°E). Power spectra of the surface current showed a pronounced peak having a period of around 14 days for
both the zonal and meridional velocities at the stations 2S and 2N near the equator, and for only the meridional velocity
at the equator. This 14-day phenomenon is considered to be a kind of equatorial wave of the first baroclinic mode, from a
comparison of the result of the vertical mode analysis and the vertical distribution of the standard deviation of band-pass
filtered velocity fluctuations. A dispersion relationship obtained from the horizontal mode analysis of this wave confirmed
that the 14-day phenomenon is a mixed Rossby-gravity wave with the westward propagating phase speed and eastward propagating
group velocity. From the cross-spectral analysis of velocity data, the average phase speed and wavelength of the wave were
estimated as 3.64 m s−1 and 3939 km, respectively, for station pair 2S∼147E. These values were in good agreement with the average phase speed and
wavelength of 3.58 m s−1 and 3836 km estimated from the dispersion curve and the observed period. A northerly wind burst blew over all the mooring
sites during the middle of the observation period. The mixed Rossby-gravity wave, which is anti-symmetric for the zonal velocity
about the equator, is likely to be forced by this northerly wind burst crossing the equator. Generation of the oceanic mixed
Rossby-gravity wave of the first baroclinic mode is discussed in association with the atmospheric Rossby wave having the same
period. 相似文献

The combined and individual responses of the first and second baroclinic mode dynamics of the tropical Indian Ocean to the
well-known Indian Ocean Dipole mode (IOD) wind anomalies are investigated. The IOD forced first baroclinic Rossby waves arrive
at the western boundary in three months, while the reflected component from the eastern boundary with opposite phase arrives
in five to six months, both carry input energy to the west. The inclusion of the second baroclinic mode slows down the wave
propagation by mode coupling and stretches the energy spectrum to a relatively longer time scale. The total energy exists
in the equatorial wave guide for at least five months from the forcing, as much as 10% of that of the atmospheric input, which
mainly dissipates at the western boundary. The individual responses of the ocean to IOD interannual wind anomaly show that
the significant modes of oceanic anomalies are confined to a wave guide of 10° on either side of the equator. 相似文献

Transmission and reflection coefficients are calculated for Rossby waves incident on a bottom topography with constant slope in a continuously stratified ocean. The characteristics of the coefficients are interpreted in terms of the quasigeostrophic waves on the slope. In the parameter range where only the barotropic Rossby waves can propagate in the region outside the slope, the bottom trapped wave plays the same role as the topographic Rossby wave in a homogeneous ocean, and hence the transmission is weak unless phase matching takes place. When both of the barotropic and baroclinic Rossby waves can propagate outside the slope, the total transmission can be strong. The bottom trapped wave affects the transmission and reflection, and it leads to the possibility that the Rossby wave is transmitted as a mode different from the incident mode. When the number of the wavy modes on the slope is smaller than that of the Rossby wave modes outside the slope, strong reflection occurs.The results for an ocean with linear distribution of the squared Brunt-Väisälä frequency are compared to those in a uniformly stratified ocean. The weakening of the stratification near the bottom is almost equivalent to reducing the effect of the slope. 相似文献

Propagation of Rossby Waves over Ridges Excited by Interannual Wind Forcing in a Western North Pacific Model 总被引：1，自引：4，他引：1
Numerical experiments with a multi-level general circulation model have been performed to investigate basic processes of westward
propagation of Rossby waves excited by interannual wind stress forcing in an idealized western North Pacific model with ocean
ridges. When the wind forcing with an oscillation period of 3 years is imposed around 180°E and 30°N, far from Japan, barotropic
waves excited by the wind can hardly cross the ridges, such as the Izu-Ogasawara Ridge. On the other hand, a large part of
the first-mode baroclinic waves are transmitted across the ridges, having net mass transport. The propagation speed of the
first-mode baroclinic wave is accelerated (decelerated) when an anticyclonic (cyclonic) circulation is formed at the sea surface,
due to a deeper (shallower) upper layer, and to southward (slightly northward) drift of the circulation. Thus, when the anticyclonic
circulation is formed on the northern side of the cyclonic one, they propagate almost together. The second-mode baroclinic
waves converted from the first-mode ones on the ridges arrive south of Japan, although their effects are small. The resulting
volume transport variation of the western boundary current (the Kuroshio) reaches about 60% of the Sverdrup transport variability
estimated from the wind stress. These characteristics are common for the interannual forcing case with a longer oscillation
period. In the intraseasonal and seasonal forcing cases, on the other hand, the transport variation is much smaller than those
in the interannual forcing cases.

The satellite altimeter data reveal that intraseasonal long Rossby wave is amplified in the western part of subtropical ocean. Based on a two and half layer ocean model we infer that the intraseasonal long Rossby wave may be amplified by the baroclinic instability. According to the baroclinic instability criterion derived from the two and half layer model, we calculate the baroclinic instability area of the Subtropical North Pacific Ocean based on Levitus98 data. The baroclinic instability area is well in accord with the amplification area of the intraseasonal long Rossby wave, and this also proves that the baroclinic instability is the main amplification mechanism of the intraseasonal long Rossby wave in the subtropical ocean. The consistency between the baroclinic instability area and potential vorticity (PV) pool is further proved in this paper, therefore, we have confidence that the intraseasonal long Rossby wave is amplified in the PV pool. Due to the relatively large ocean basin and weak ventilation, the PV pool is much larger in the North Pacific Ocean than in the North Atlantic Ocean, and this is the reason for the difference of wave amplification areas of these two Oceans. 相似文献

The sea surface height anomaly in the Pacific equatorial area was separated into equatorial modes using satellite altimeter
data. The power-spectral density (PSD) was obtained for the east-west wavenumber and frequency for each separated mode. The
PSD distribution was compared with the theoretical dispersion curve for the equatorial modes derived by Matsuno (1966). The
first Rossby modes have a high-density distribution that is slightly lower than the theoretical dispersion curve, but the
Kelvin mode and the higher Rossby modes have high-density distribution that almost matches each dispersion curve. Results
of analyses of satellite observational data show that wave motion near the equator mainly shows characteristics of equatorial
waves, especially for a intraseasonal time scale. 相似文献

Field measurements during the Bay of Bengal Monsoon Experiment (BOBMEX-99), data from a deep sea moored buoy, and satellite altimeter were used to describe variability in the hydrographic and meso-scale features in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) during the summer monsoon of 1999. The thermohaline fields showed two regions of upsloping of isopleths centered at 82°E and 84.75°E, ～110 km and 450 km away from the coast, respectively, followed by downsloping. The upsloping/downsloping of isopleths and the alternating currents was part of cyclonic and anti-cyclonic circulation patterns in the western BoB. In this region, both wind and current were important in the dynamics of coastal upwelling. The observations showed a relationship between the propagating waves and eddy on variability of thermohaline fields. On an annual cycle, four Kelvin waves were observed in the BoB, but only the downwelling Kelvin wave formed during October entered the Arabian Sea. During the monsoon season, four eddies were formed in the western BoB, of which the anticyclonic eddy centered at 15°N, 84°E and the cyclonic eddy centered at 17.5°N, 84.5°E were prominent. The baroclinic instability caused by the opposing currents along the east coast and the wind stress curl favored the formation of eddies. Okhubo-Weiss and Isern-Fontanet parameter confirmed the presence of eddies in the BoB. 相似文献

On the basis of maps of sea level anomalies data set from October 1992 to January 2004, pronounced low frequency variations with periods of about 500 d are detected in the area near 20°N from 160°W to 130°E. A linear two-layer model is employed to explain the mechanism. It is found that the first-mode long baroclinic Rossby waves at 20°N in the northwest Pacific propagate westward in the form of free waves at a speed of about 10.3 cm/s. This confirms that the observed low frequency variabilities appear as baroclinic Rossby waves. It further shows that these low frequency variabilities around 20°N in the northwest Pacific can potentially be predicted with a lead up to 900 d. 相似文献

The recent sea-ice reduction in the Arctic Ocean is not spatially uniform, but is disproportionally large around the Northwind
Ridge and Chukchi Plateau compared to elsewhere in the Canada Basin. In the Northwind Ridge region, Pacific Summer Water (PSW)
delivered from the Bering Sea occupies the subsurface layer. The spatial distribution of warm PSW shows a quite similar pattern
to the recent ice retreat, suggesting the influence of PSW on the sea-ice reduction. To understand the regionality of the
recent ice retreat, we examine the dynamics and timing of the delivery of the PSW into this region. Here, we adopt a two-layer
linearized potential vorticity equation to investigate the behavior of Rossby waves in the presence of a topographic discontinuity
in the high latitude ocean. The analytical results show a quite different structure from those of mid-latitude basins due
to the small value of β. Incident barotropic waves excited by the sea-ice motion with large annual variation can be scattered
into both barotropic and baroclinic modes at the discontinuity. Since the scattered baroclinic Rossby wave with annual frequency
cannot propagate freely, a strong baroclinic current near the topographic discontinuity is established. The seasonal variation
of current near the topographic discontinuity would cause a kind of selective switching system for shelf water transport into
the basin. In our simple analytical model, the enhanced northward transport of summer water and reduced northward transport
of winter water are well demonstrated. The present study indicates that these basic dynamics imply that a strengthening of
the surface forcing during winter in the Canada Basin could cause sea-ice reduction in the Western Arctic through the changes
of underlying Pacific Summer Water. 相似文献

Zonally propagating wave solutions of the linearized shallow water equations (LSWE) in a zonal channel on the rotating spherical earth are constructed from numerical solutions of eigenvalue equations that yield the meridional variation of the waves' amplitudes and the phase speeds of these waves. An approximate Schrödinger equation, whose potential depends on one parameter only, is derived, and this equation yields analytic expressions for the dispersion relations and for the meridional structure of the waves' amplitudes in two asymptotic cases. These analytic solutions validate the accuracy of the numerical solutions of the exact eigenvalue equation. Our results show the existence of Kelvin, Poincaré and Rossby waves that are harmonic for large radius of deformation. For small radius of deformation, the latter two waves vary as Hermite functions. In addition, our results show that the mixed mode of the planar theory (a meridional wavenumber zero mode that behaves as a Rossby wave for large zonal wavenumbers and as a Poincaré wave for small ones) does not exist on a sphere; instead, the first Rossby mode and the first westward propagating Poincaré mode are separated by the anti-Kelvin mode for all values of the zonal wavenumber. 相似文献

Oceanic Rossby waves induced by the meridional shift of the ITCZ in association with ENSO events 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

This study investigated the eastern Pacific Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) as an atmospheric forcing to the ocean by using various observed and reanalysis data sets over 29 years. Climatologically, a zonal band of positive wind stress curl (WSC) with a 10° meridional width was exhibited along the ITCZ. A southward shift of the positive WSC band during the El Niño phase induced a negative (positive) WSC anomaly along the northern (southern) portion of the ITCZ, and vice versa during the La Niña phase. This meridional dipole accounted for more than 25 % of interannual variances of the WSC anomalies (WSCAs), based on analysis of the period 1993–2008. The negative (positive) WSCA in the northern portion of the ITCZ during the El Niño (La Niña) phase was collocated with a positive (negative) sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) that propagated westward as a Rossby wave all the way to the western North Pacific. This finding indicates that this off-equatorial Rossby wave is induced by the WSCA around the ITCZ. Our analysis of a 1.5-layer reduced gravity model revealed that the Rossby waves are mostly explained by wind stress forcing, rather than by reflection of an equatorial Kelvin wave on the eastern coastal boundary. The off-equatorial Rossby wave had the same SSHA polarity as the equatorial Kelvin wave, and generation of a phase-preserving Rossby wave without the Kelvin wave reflection was explained by meridional movement of the ITCZ. Thus, the ITCZ acts as an atmospheric bridge that connects the equatorial and off-equatorial oceanic waves. 相似文献

A seasonal simulation from a medium-resolution ocean general circulation mode (OGCM) is used to investigate the vertical structure variability of the Southeast Pacific (SEP). The focus is on the extra-tropical Rossby wave (ETRW) variability and associated forcing mechanism. Some aspects of the model mean state are validated from available observations, which justifies a vertical mode decomposition of the model variability. The analysis of the baroclinic mode contributions to sea level indicates that the gravest mode is dominant over most of the domain at all frequencies. Annual variability is on average twice as large as the semi-annual variability which is confined near the coast for all the modes. The first baroclinic mode contribution to the annual cycle exhibits a clear westward propagation north of the critical latitude. The higher-order modes only contribute near the coast where they are associated with vertically propagating energy. The residual variability, which is the energy at all timescales other than annual and semi-annual periods peaks offshore between 20°S and 30°S for all baroclinic modes. The third baroclinic mode also exhibits a relative maximum variability off the coast of Peru south of the critical latitude of the annual cycle (13°S), where the Peru–Chile Undercurrent is the most intense. Sensitivity experiments to the atmospheric and boundary forcing suggest that the residual variability results from the non-linear interaction between annual Rossby waves and the mean flow, while the annual ETRWs in the model result from the summed-contribution from both the local wind stress and remote equatorial forcing. Overall the study extends the classical analysis of sea level variability in the SEP based on linear theory, and suggests that the peculiarities of the baroclinic modes need to be taken into account for interpreting the sea level variability and understanding its connection with the equatorial variability. 相似文献

The annual variabilities of the sea surface height in the Pacific Ocean were investigated by analyzing the TOPEX/POSEIDON
satellite data and by solving a reduced gravity model. We discuss how adequately the simple model can capture the variabilities
of the sea surface height, and what the cause of the variabilities is. Three large amplitude peaks in the satellite data are
found along the 12°N longitude line. Two elongated zones with a large amplitude are also found: one extends east-west along
6°N and the other extends northwestward from South America around 25°S. These features are adequately reproduced in the numerical
simulation of the reduced gravity model. The propagation of the Rossby wave is analyzed by the use of the extended Eliassen-Palm
flux to investigate the mechanism of these annual variabilities. The two east peaks around 12°N can be explained in terms
of the interference between the local Ekman pumping and the free wave emitted near the western coast of North America, and
the most western peak is affected by the Rossby wave formed by the local wind stress. The elongated zonal area around 6°N
is mainly due to the local Ekman pumping. Another area around 25°S results from the convergence of the free Rossby wave emitted
from the eastern boundary and the area with the strong wind stress curl off South America. A discrepancy between the satellite
data and the model results suggests that the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean is relatively calm in the model but not in the
satellite data.
