北太平洋副热带模态水形成区混合层热动力过程诊断分析 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
利用NCEP海洋数据和COADS海气通量资料,通过诊断分析,揭示了海表热力强迫、垂直夹卷、埃克曼平流和地转平流效应在北太平洋副热带模态水形成过程中的贡献。研究表明,在北太平洋副热带3个模态水形成海域冬季混合层降温过程中,海表热力强迫和垂直夹卷效应是主导因素,二者的相对贡献分别约为67%和19%(西部模态水)、53%和21%(中部模态水)、65%和30%(东部模态水);并且在东部模态水形成海域,埃克曼平流和地转平流皆是暖平流效应,而在西部和中部模态水形成海域,仅有地转平流是暖平流效应。进一步的分析表明,海洋平流(地转平流、埃克曼平流)对北太平洋副热带模态水形成海域秋、冬季混合层温度的年际、年代际异常有显著影响,在西部模态水形成海域,海表热力强迫(62%)和地转平流(32%)是导致混合层温度年际、年代际变化的主要因子;在中部模态水形成海域,混合层温度的年际、年代际变化是埃克曼平流(32%)、地转平流(30%)和海表热力强迫(25%)共同作用的结果;相对而言,东部模态水形成海域混合层温度的年际、年代际异常主要受海表热力强迫(67%)控制。 相似文献

副热带模态水(Subtropical Mode Water;STMW)在气候变化中起着重要作用。本文利用全球高分辨率数值模拟结果,研究了北太平洋STMW核心层盐度(Core Layer Salinity;CLS)的年代际变化及其物理机制。结果表明,CLS存在显著的年代际变化,其空间分布则与背景流场分布特征有关。侵蚀区CLS滞后生成区CLS约1~2年,这主要是海流平流输运引起的。生成区内,STMW的季节循环一般可分为生成期(12-4月)、隔离期(5-6月)和侵蚀期(7-11月),生成期混合层盐度(Mixed Layer Salinity;MLS)决定着隔离期和侵蚀期的CLS,而MLS年代际变化则主要由同太平洋年代际涛动存在负相关性的海表面淡水通量的变化引起。 相似文献

本研究依据2004—2011年Argo观测资料的数据,对西北太平洋副热带逆流(STCC)和副热带西部模态水(STMW)的季节和年际变化进行了分析,探索了不同时间尺度上STCC强度和STMW体积变化的对应关系。研究结果再一次表明:北太平洋副热带环流中存在南、北两支向东的副热带逆流(STCC),这2支逆流分别位于18°~20°N和23°~25°N纬带,月平均流速在5~20cm·s-1。而位于西北太平洋温跃层内的低位势涡度(PV小于2.0×10-10 m-1·s-1)的STMW主要出现在140°~170°E,25°~31°N的海域,介于25.0~25.6σθ等位势密度面之间,核心位势密度为25.3σθ。日界线以西的2支STCC强度和STMW体积都存在较显著的季节变化和年际变化。2支STCC强度的季节变化相类似,在5—7月中都较强,在11月较弱,这与前人提出的STCC在春季最强略有差异。STMW的体积在4—8月较大,9月后开始减小,该现象证实了在季节变化中STMW体积的增加和减少可以影响STCC的增强和减弱。2支STCC强度的年际变化几乎没有一致性,但STMW体积和局地风应力旋度的年际变化与STCC北支强度年际变化关系更密切。 相似文献

太平洋是海表温度年际变化和年代际变化发生的主要区域,但对太平洋海洋热含量变化的研究相对较少。为此, 本文分析了1980—2020年太平洋上层(0~300 m)热含量的时空变化特征。基于IAP数据,本文首先利用集合经验模态分解法(EEMD)提取不同时间尺度的海洋热含量信号,并利用正交经验分解法(EOF)对不同时间尺度的海洋热含量进行时空特征分析,得到了太平洋0~300 m海洋热含量的年际变化、年代际变化以及长期变暖的时空特征。结果表明,除了年际变化之外,热带西北太平洋上层热含量还存在明显的年代际变化和长期变暖趋势。在东太平洋和高纬度西太平洋,热含量的年代际变化特征并不突出。热带西北太平洋热含量的年代际变化在1980—1988年和1999—2013年较高,而在1989—1998年和2014—2020年期间较低。此外,针对热带西北太平洋热含量的经向、纬向和垂向特征分析,发现这种年代际变化主要发生在5°N—20°N,120°E—180°E,次表层50~200 m范围内。热带西北太平洋热含量的年代际变化对全球海表温度的年代际变化有着重要作用。 相似文献

西北太平洋副热带模态水形成区声传播特性分析 总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3
利用Argo剖面数据和水声学数值模型,分析了西北太平洋副热带模态水(STMW)形成区因季节性环境差异所引起的水声传播变化特征。声场计算结果表明,STMW形成区域的声传播为近表层波导与会聚区的复合形式,其中会聚区终年存在,表面波导在秋、冬两季混合层加深的环境条件下出现,次表层波导在夏季STMW潜沉的环境条件下出现。上层海洋中两类不同形式的波导使表层和次表层的声能分布呈反相变化,波导内与波导外的声能差异可达10~15dB(声波频率为1 000Hz)。STMW的季节性变化还会引起会聚区的位置差异,具体情况与声源深度有关。声源在20m时,夏季会聚区距离最远,秋季、春季次之,冬季最近,夏季和冬季相差6.6km;声源在150m时,夏季会聚区距离缩短了3.1km,其他季节变化不大。 相似文献

根据2004—2014年的全球海洋Argo网格数据集(BOA_Argo)和ECMWF ERA-Interim再分析资料,计算了冬季太平洋副热带东部海区的水团变性率及水团形成率,对南北太平洋副热带东部新生成模态水的年际变化及其形成机制进行了研究。结果表明:北太平洋副热带东部模态水(NPESTMW)和南太平洋副热带东部模态水(SPESTMW)的新生成体积及核心密度在2004—2014年具有明显的年际变化:NPESTMW主要经历了2005—2009年和2010—2013年2次持续4～5a的体积和密度增加过程,其中体积最大值出现在2009年,最小值则出现在2005和2014年。南半球SPESTMW则经历了2007—2009年和2010—2013年共两次持续3～4a的体积和密度减小过程,其中体积的最小值出现在2009、2013年,最大值出现在2010年。合成分析发现,由冬季海面热通量异常引起的深混合层内与模态水密度相当的水团表层形成率异常,可能是导致NPESTMW和SPESTMW新生成水体积年际变化的重要因素;同时,SPESTMW新生成水的年际变化受局地风应力旋度的年际变化影响明显。 相似文献

西北太平洋热带气旋与上层海洋热含量的关系 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
利用SODA(Simple Ocean Data Assimilation)的海温资料和Unisys Weather的热带气旋资料,研究了1960-2008年期间北太平洋上层150 m的热含量分布特征及其与西北太平洋热带气旋发生频次的关系。考虑了纬度的变化对热含量的影响后,北太平洋热含量的高值中心位于10°N左右,与上层海温结构相符,计算结果更加符合物理意义。北太平洋热含量与西北太平洋热带气旋频数年际相关性研究表明在北太平洋中高纬度大洋内区和赤道东太平洋热带不稳定波发生区呈现出前期冬季正相关性。此相关性存在显著年代际的变化,在1970-1975年和1984-2008年期间最强,1976-1983年期间较弱。在北太平洋中高纬度大洋内区,同期春夏秋季同样存在强正相关。在西太平洋暖池区,同期秋季负相关最为显著。赤道中太平洋区域在夏季呈显著的正相关,秋季减弱。赤道东太平洋海域的相关性前期冬季负相关最为显著,春季负相关性减弱,夏季和秋季无显著相关。 相似文献

冬季北太平洋流场异常主要模态与PDO及NPGO的关系 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
采用复经验正交函数(EOF)分解和小波分析,对冬季北太平洋上层海流异常进行了统计动力诊断,并讨论了主要模态与北太平洋年代际振荡(PDO)模态和北太平洋环流振荡(NPGO)模态的关系。结果显示,冬季北太平洋上层洋流异常复EOF分解的第一模态是PDO在流场异常上的反映,第二模态则包含了NPGO的明显信息。主要依据有:(1)第一和第二模态的实时间系数序列分别有准20a和准13a的年代际变化周期,与PDO和NPGO模态的年代际变化周期相同;(2)第一和第二模态实时间系数与北太平洋海表面温度异常(SSTA)的回归系数场的空间分布分别与PDO和NPGO模态的空间结构相近。根据第一和第二模态上层洋流异常计算得到的垂直运动异常的分布,与SSTA的PDO和NPGO模态的空间分布类似,表明海盆尺度流场异常造成的垂直运动是形成PDO和NPGO模态的重要原因。 相似文献

利用EN4(the UK Met Office EN4.2.1 analyses)盐度数据发现北太平洋副热带高盐中心——北太平洋热带水(NPTW)的海表面积与体积在2000—2008年、2014—2017年存在下降趋势,2008—2014年期间存在上升趋势,进一步的研究表明,这些变化与太平洋年代际震荡(PDO)的位相转换紧密相关。利用淡水通量数据以及ECCO2(Circulation and Climate of the Ocean, Phase II)流场数据计算分析后表明,淡水通量对NPTW的变化贡献较小,而水平输运对NPTW的表面积以及体积变化贡献较大,这与PDO正(负)位相期间北赤道流(NEC)的向北(南)摆动有关。 相似文献

Temperature and salinity data from 2003 through 2006 from Argo profiling floats have been analyzed to examine the formation
and circulation of the North Pacific Subtropical Mode Water (STMW) and the interannual variation of its properties over the
entire distribution region. STMW is formed in late winter in the zonally-elongated recirculation gyre south of the Kuroshio
and its extension, which extends north of ∼28°N, from 135°E to near the date line. The recirculation gyre consists of several
anticyclonic circulations, in each of which thick STMW with a characteristic temperature is formed. After spring, the thick
STMW tends to be continually trapped in the respective circulations, remaining in the formation region. From this stagnant
pool of thick STMW, some portion seeps little by little into the southern region, where southwestward subsurface currents
advect relatively thin STMW as far as 20°N to the south and just east of Taiwan to the west. The STMW formed in the recirculation
gyre becomes colder, less saline, and denser to the east, with an abrupt change of properties across 140°E and a gradual change
east of 140°E. The STMW formed east of 140°E exhibits coherent interannual variations, increasing its temperature by ∼1°C
from 2003 through 2006 and also increasing its salinity by ∼0.05 from 2003 through 2005. These property changes are clearly
detected in the southern region as far downstream as just east of Taiwan, with reasonable time lags. 相似文献

A pycnostad on the bottom of the ventilated portion in the central subtropical North Pacific: Its distribution and formation 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Hirohiko Nakamura 《Journal of Oceanography》1996,52(2):171-188
A water mass characterized by the pycnostad on the bottom of the ventilated portion in the central subtropical North Pacific is described through the comparison with the Subtropical Mode Wate (STMW). In this paper, this water mass is called the North Pacific Central Mode Water (CMW), because of its vertical homogeneity. The distribution of CMW is examined based on the climatological maps of annual mean potential vorticity. On the other hand, its formation area is examined based on the climatological winter temperature data set and the STD sections across the Kuroshio Extension in early spring of individual years. The main results are summarized as follows: 1) STMW is formed in the deep winter mixed layer south of the main path of the Kuroshio Extension (termed 12°C Front in this paper). On the other hand, CMW is formed in the deep winter mixed layer in the east-west band surrounded by a branch of the Kuroshio Extension (termed 9°C Front in this paper) and the boundary of two water masses representing the subtropical and subpolar gyres. 2) The winter mixed layer between the 12°C Front and the 9°C Front is shallower than that in the CMW and STMW formation areas. 3) These geographical features of the winter mixed layer depths near the subarcticsubtropical transition zone result in two pycnostads (STMW and CMW) in the main thermocline of the subtropical North Pacific through the advection caused by the subtropical gyre. 相似文献

Southwest Pacific subtropical mode water: A climatology 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The large-scale distribution and changes in Southwest Pacific subtropical mode water (STMW) are investigated and discussed. The paper presents for the first time geographic maps showing the spatial distribution of STMW thicknesses, with a vertical temperature gradient <2.0 °C/100 m occupying the 14–20 °C range below the mixed layer depth, across the entire Southwest Pacific region. STMW changes in areal thickness extent, vertical cross-sectional area along selected transects, and total volume, are examined on seasonal and interannual time scales between 1973 and 1988.We find that STMW extends across the entire width of the Tasman Sea in a very broad swath between the Tropical Convergence in the north (just to the south of New Caledonia), the southeast Australian coast in the west to as far south as 39°S (likely due to the southward extension of the EAC), and eastwards along the Southern STMW boundary in a meandering pathway that broadly follows the Tasman Front. The total STMW volume across the region (i.e., west of 180°) varies seasonally by a factor of more than three between the estimated maximum of 6.6 (±0.5) × 1014 m3 in October and minimum of 1.9 (±0.4) × 1014 m3 in May. Interannual variations O (±0.5 × 1014 m3) are also observed in the spatial extent of the thick mode water and its total volume. El Niño composite maps show an anomalous thickening of the STMW during the El Niño year with October positive thickness anomalies in excess of +20 m (total volume anomaly of +0.6 × 1014 m3) manifested throughout the subtropical gyre interior as far north as New Caledonia. Total volume anomalies tend to be positive from January of the El Niño year through to the July following (18 months). The maximum correlation coefficient r = −0.3 between 3-monthly STMW volume anomalies and the Southern Oscillation index is statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. We conclude that during the anomalous cooling of the upper Southwest Pacific Ocean in the El Niño year, winter-time convection and STMW formation is enhanced across the region resulting in an El Niño – Southern Oscillation climate signal that is identifiable below the mixed layer by the increased STMW volume which persists through to the following winter. Finally, some evidence for the possible decadal modulation of the STMW variability is also discussed. 相似文献

基于Argo浮标和历史资料的热带西太平洋次表层与中层水年代变化分析 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
利用20世纪80年代和90年代WOD01(World Ocean Database2001)中的CTD温盐剖面资料和2000年以后Argo资料,对比分析了热带西太平洋次表层和中层水团分布的年代变化特征。分析结果表明,在这两个时期,起源于南北太平洋中高纬度海域的各次表层水和中层水,在热带西太平洋分布特征和交织在一起的总体态势基本一致,水团性质的年代变化不大。这与上述两个时段全球海洋-大气耦合系统趋于正常状态相吻合。通过辨识和跟踪表征次表层水性质的盐度极大值,发现南太平洋热带水沿西边界向北扩散程度有所加大,由前一时期的5°N,进一步扩散到6°~7°N;北太平洋热带水在西边界附近的向南扩散程度有所削弱,在2002-2005年间只向南扩散到4°N,而前一个时期则可向南扩散到2°N。通过辨识表征中层水性质的盐度极小值,南极中层水在西边界附近向北扩散程度有所加大,在2002-2005年到达13°N附近,而前一个时期只到达11°N;同期,北太平洋中层水在西边界附近的向南扩散程度有所削弱。上述年代变化与全球水循环强度的变化之间有何关系有待进一步研究。 相似文献

The 137°E repeat hydrographic section for 50 winters during 1967–2016 has been analyzed to examine interannual to interdecadal variations and long-term changes of salinity and temperature in the surface and intermediate layers of the western North Pacific, with a particular focus on freshening in the subtropical gyre. Rapid freshening on both isobars and isopycnals began in the mid-1990s and persisted for the last 20 years in the upper main thermocline/halocline in the western subtropical gyre. In addition, significant decadal variability of salinity existed in the subtropical mode water (STMW), as previously reported for the shallower layers. An analysis of the 144°E repeat hydrographic section during 1984–2013 supplemented by Argo profiling float data in 2014 and 2015 revealed that the freshening trend and decadal variability observed at 137°E originated in the winter mixed layer in the Kuroshio Extension (KE) region and was transmitted southwestward to 137°E 1–2 years later in association with the subduction and advection of STMW. The mechanism of these changes and variations in the source region was further investigated. In addition to the surface freshwater flux in the KE region pointed out by previous studies, the decadal KE variability in association with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation likely contributes to the decadal salinity variability through water exchange between the subtropics and the subarctic across the KE. Interdecadal change in both the surface freshwater flux and the KE state, however, failed to explain the rapid freshening for the last 20 years. 相似文献

The interdecadal climate variability affects marine ecosystems in both the subtropical and subarctic gyres, consequently the
position of the Transition Zone Chlorophyll Front (TZCF). A three-dimensional physical-biological model has been used to study
interdecadal variation of the TZCF using a retrospective analysis of a 30-year (1960–1990) model simulation. The physical-biological
model is forced with the monthly mean heat flux and surface wind stress from the COADS. The modeled winter mixed layer depth
(MLD) shows the largest increase between 30°N and 40°N in the central North Pacific, with a value of 40–60% higher during
1979–90 relative to 1964–75 values. The winter Ekman pumping velocity difference between 1979–90 and 1964–75 shows the largest
increase located between 30°N and 45°N in the central and eastern North Pacific. The modeled winter surface nitrate difference
between 1979–90 and 1964–75 shows increase in the latitudinal band between 30°N and 45°N from the west to the east (135°E–135°W),
the modeled nitrate concentration is about 10 to 50% higher during the period of 1979–90 relative to 1964–75 values depending
upon locations. The increase in the winter surface nitrate concentration during 1979-90 is caused by a combination of the
winter MLD increase and the winter Ekman pumping enhancement. The modeled nitrate concentration increase after 1976–77 enhances
primary productivity in the central North Pacific. Enhanced primary productivity after the 1976–77 climatic shift contributes
higher phytoplankton biomass and therefore elevates chlorophyll level in the central North Pacific. Increase in the modeled
chlorophyll expand the chlorophyll transitional zone and push the TZCF equatorward.

This study describes the three-dimensional distributions of the Turner angle (Tu) and the potential vorticity (PV) of the
main pycnocline water in the subtropical North Pacific (10–50°N, 120°E–120°W) using a large in situ CTD data set taken by
the Argo profiling floats during June to October of 2001–2009 to clarify the detailed distribution of the central water and
the mode waters as well as the relationship between these water masses. The ventilated part of the main pycnocline water (σ
θ < 26.7 kg m−3) in the subtropical gyre generally displays a sharp peak in Tu value of 59° in the histogram. The Tu histograms for 10° × 10°
geographical boxes mostly show that the mode for the Tu value is 59° too, but they also show some regional differences, suggesting
some types of relations with the North Pacific mode waters. To further investigate this relationship, the appearance probability
density function of the central water (defined as the main pycnocline water with Tu = 56°–63°) and those of the mode waters
with PVs lower than the critical value on each isopycnal surface were analyzed. The distribution area of the central mode
water (CMW) corresponds so well with that of the central water that a direct contribution of the CMW to the formation and
maintenance of the central water is suggested. On the other hand, the distribution areas of subtropical mode water (STMW),
Eastern STMW, and transition region mode water do not correspond to that of the central water. Nevertheless, indirect contributions
of these mode waters to the formation and maintenance of the central water through salt finger type convection or diapycnal
mixing are suggested. 相似文献

Understanding of the temporal variation of oceanic heat content(OHC) is of fundamental importance to the prediction of climate change and associated global meteorological phenomena. However, OHC characteristics in the Pacific and Indian oceans are not well understood. Based on in situ ocean temperature and salinity profiles mainly from the Argo program, we estimated the upper layer(0–750 m) OHC in the Indo-Pacific Ocean(40°S–40°N, 30°E–80°W). Spatial and temporal variability of OHC and its likely physical mechanisms are also analyzed. Climatic distributions of upper-layer OHC in the Indian and Pacific oceans have a similar saddle pattern in the subtropics, and the highest OHC value was in the northern Arabian Sea. However, OHC variabilities in the two oceans were different. OHC in the Pacific has an east-west see-saw pattern, which does not appear in the Indian Ocean. In the Indian Ocean, the largest change was around 10°S. The most interesting phenomenon is that, there was a long-term shift of OHC in the Indo-Pacific Ocean during 2001–2012. Such variation coincided with modulation of subsurface temperature/salinity. During 2001–2007, there was subsurface cooling(freshening)nearly the entire upper 400 m layer in the western Pacific and warming(salting) in the eastern Pacific. During2008–2012, the thermocline deepened in the western Pacific but shoaled in the east. In the Indian Ocean, there was only cooling(upper 150 m only) and freshening(almost the entire upper 400 m) during 2001–2007. The thermocline deepened during 2008–2012 in the Indian Ocean. Such change appeared from the equator to off the equator and even to the subtropics(about 20°N/S) in the two oceans. This long-term change of subsurface temperature/salinity may have been caused by change of the wind field over the two oceans during 2001–2012, in turn modifying OHC. 相似文献

南海冬季海浪的时空变率特征 总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3
The spatial and temporal variation characteristics of the waves in the South China Sea(SCS) in the boreal winter during the period of 1979/1980–2011/2012 have been investigated based on the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts interim(ERA-Interim) reanalysis dataset. The results show that the leading mode of significant wave height anomalies(SWHA) in the SCS exhibits significant interannual variation and a decadal shift around the mid-1990 s, and features a basin-wide pattern in the entire SCS with a center located in the west of the Luzon Strait. The decadal change from a weak regime to a strong regime is mainly associated with the enhancement of winter monsoon modulated by the Pacific decadal oscillation(PDO). The interannual variation of the SWHA has a significant negative correlation with the El Ni?o Southern Oscillation(ENSO) in the same season and the preceding autumn. For a better understanding of the physical mechanism between the SCS ocean waves and ENSO, further investigation is made by analyzing atmospheric circulation. The impact of the ENSO on the SWHA over the SCS is bridged by the East Asian winter monsoon and Pacific-East Asian teleconnection in the lower troposphere. During the El Ni?o(La Ni?a), the anomalous Philippine Sea anticyclone(cyclone) dominates over the Western North Pacific, helps to weaken(enhance) East Asian winter monsoon and then emerges the negative(positive) SWHA in the SCS. 相似文献
