High primary productivity on the Pacific coast of the Baja California Peninsula is usually related to coastal upwelling activity
that injects nutrients into the euphotic zone in response to prevailing longshore winds (from the northwest to north). The
upwelling process has maximum intensity from April to June, with the coastal upwelling index varying from 50 to 300 m3/s per 100 m of coastline. Along the entire coast of the peninsula, the upwelling intensity changes in accordance with local
wind conditions and bottom topography. Spatial variability can also be modulated by the influence of mesoscale meanders of
the California Current. We have identified the seasonal and synoptic variability of upwelling signatures on the Baja California
shelf, using averaged monthly and weekly sea surface temperature (SST) distributions obtained from remote sensing imagery
from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer in the period from 1996 to 2001. Analysis of SST distribution and direct
experimental data on temperature and nutrient concentration shows that the areas with the coldest SST anomalies were closely
related to the bottom slope, shelf width, and coastline orientation relating to wind direction. We also assume that the nutrient
transport into the coastal lagoons may be forced by the coupling of coastal upwelling and tidal pumping of surface waters
into the lagoon system.

In this paper, the authors study the influence of the wind on the dynamics of the continental shelf and margin, in particular the formation of a secondary upwelling (or downwelling) front along the shelf break.Observations during the MOUTON2007 campaign at sea along the Portuguese coast in summer 2007 reveal the presence of several upwelling fronts, one being located near the shelf break. All upwellings are characterized by deep cold waters close to or reaching the surface and with high chlorophyll concentrations. Simplified numerical models are built in order to study a possible physical mechanism behind this observation. First, a simple shallow water model with three distinct layers is used to study the formation of secondary upwelling fronts. We show that the physical mechanism behind this process is associated with onshore transport of high potential vorticity anomalies of the shelf for upwelling favorable conditions. Sensitivity studies to bottom friction, shelf width, continental slope steepness, shelf “length” are analysed in terms of potential vorticity dynamics. In particular bottom friction is analyzed in detail and we find that, even though bottom friction limits the barotropic velocity field, it enhances the cross-shore circulation, so that no steady state is possible when stratification is taken into account. Bottom friction accelerates the onshore advection of high potential vorticity, but also drastically reduces its amplitude because of diabatic effects. The net effect of bottom friction is to reduce the secondary upwelling development. Based on similar mechanisms, previous results are then extended to downwelling favorable conditions. Finally a more realistic configuration, with bottom topography, wind forcing and stratification set up from observations, is then developed and the results confronted to the observations. Simulations overestimate the velocity amplitude but exhibit good agreement in terms of density ranges brought over the shelf and general isopycnal patterns.The application and extension of the results to more general oceanic regions is discussed and we conclude on the influence of such process on the dynamics of wind driven circulation over a shelf. 相似文献

This study addresses the composition of biogenic matter and the metabolic activity of coastal waters of the eastern Brazilian
shelf, bordered by small river–mangrove systems. Oceanic Brazil Current waters induce oligotrophic and near to homogeneous
conditions of chemical constituents along the inner shelf. The impact of small river–mangrove systems upon coastal waters
is minor and of local nature. Bottom topography, coral reef habitats, and local upwelling also induce minor local spatial
variability of dissolved inorganic and organic nutrients and O2 and CO2 saturation levels in the coastal waters. Metabolic activity during the daylight period, inferred from O2 and CO2 saturation levels, varied from slightly autotrophic to heterotrophic. 相似文献

By the method of mathematical simulation, we study the evolution of local discharges of pollutants on the northwest shelf
of the Black Sea induced by the motion of a cyclone. We use the nonlinear equations of motion of a homogeneous viscous fluid
in the hydrostatic approximation and the equation of turbulent diffusion. A cyclonic formation is represented by a moving
axisymmetric area of low pressures. The discharges of pollutants are caused by the action of instantaneous sources located
on the sea surface. We perform the analysis of dependences of the paths of motion of polluted regions, the periods of their
dissipation, and the depths of penetration of pollutants on the bottom topography and the intensity of diffusion processes.

Effects of the longshore variation of the coastline geometry and the bottom topography on coastal upwelling are discussed. Longshore variations of the topography cause local enhancing or weakening of upwelling in the process of the generation and propagation of internal Kelvin and the shelf waves. 相似文献

A 3D eco-hydrodynamical model of high resolution (0.25° × 0.25°, 27 σ-levels) is used to simulate the seasonal variability of the ocean circulation and marine ecosystem in the Central-Eastern Basin of the North Atlantic including the Canary upwelling system. According to the model results, in the winter period, the “patches” of maximal phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass are often located in upwelling zones in the open ocean on the periphery of cyclonic eddies rather than in the coastal upwelling zones. In the summer period, when the phytoplankton biomass reaches maximal (in the annual cycle) values, the maxima of the phytoplankton are located in the coastal upwelling zones. As shown, there is no simple relationship between the nitrate distributions, on the one hand, and the phytoplankton and zooplankton ones, on the other hand. 相似文献

Air-Sea Interaction, Coastal Circulation and Primary Production in the Eastern Arabian Sea: A Review
Air-sea interaction, coastal circulation and primary production exhibit an annual cycle in the eastern Arabian Sea (AS). During
June to September, strong southwesterly winds (4∼9 m s−1) promote sea surface cooling through surface heat loss and vertical mixing in the central AS and force the West India Coastal
Current equatorward. Positive wind stress curl induced by the Findlater jet facilitates Ekman pumping in the northern AS,
and equatorward-directed alongshore wind stress induces upwelling which lowers sea surface temperature by about 2.5°C (compared
to the offshore value) along the southwestern shelf of India and enhances phytoplankton concentration by more than 70% as
compared to that in the central AS. During winter monsoon, from November to March, dry and weak northeasterly winds (2–6 m
s−1) from the Indo-China continent enhance convective cooling of the upper ocean and deepen the mixed layer by more than 80 m,
thereby increasing the vertical flux of nutrients in the photic layer which promotes wintertime phytoplankton blooms in the
northern AS. The primary production rate integrated for photic layer and surface chlorophyll-a estimated from the Coastal
Zone Color Scanner, both averaged for the entire western India shelf, increases from winter to summer monsoon from 24 to 70
g C m−2month and from 9 to 24 mg m−2, respectively. Remotely-forced coastal Kelvin waves from the Bay of Bengal propagate into the coastal AS, which modulate
circulation pattern along the western India shelf; these Kelvin waves in turn radiate Rossby waves which reverse the circulation
in the Lakshadweep Sea semiannually. This review leads us to the conclusion that seasonal monsoon forcing and remotely forced
waves modulate the circulation and primary production in the eastern AS.

We study the space and time variations of the concentration of chlorophyll in the Black-Sea coastal zone (near Katsiveli)
in summer 2001–2002. Typical vertical profiles of the pigments are presented. The relations between the concentration of chlorophyll
and the optical parameters of seawater (including the Secchi depth, sea reflectance, effective wavelength of the upwelling
radiation, and the vertical attenuation coefficient of light) are analyzed. The equations for the biological parameters of
seawater and its optical characteristics are presented.

We conducted a research cruise in late summer (July–August) 2000 to study the effect of mesoscale circulation features on zooplankton distributions in the coastal upwelling ecosystem of the northern California Current. Our study area was in a region of complex coastline and bottom topography between Newport, Oregon (44.7°N), and Crescent City, California (41.9°N). Winds were generally strong and equatorward for >6 weeks prior to the cruise, resulting in the upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water along the coast and an alongshore upwelling jet. In the northern part of the study area, the jet followed the bottom topography, creating a broad, retentive area nearshore over a submarine shelf bank (Heceta Bank, 44–44.4°N). In the south, a meander of the jet extended seaward off of Cape Blanco (42.8°N), resulting in the displacement of coastal water and the associated coastal taxa to >100 km off the continental shelf. Zooplankton biomass was high both over the submarine bank and offshore in the meander of the upwelling jet. We used velocities and standing stocks of plankton in the upper 100 m to estimate that 1×106 m3 of water, containing an average zooplankton biomass of ～20 mg carbon m?3, was transported seaward across the 2000-m isobath in the meandering jet each second. That flux equated to offshore transport of >900 metric tons of carbon each day, and 4–5×104 tons over the 6–8 week lifetime of the circulation feature. Thus, mesoscale circulation can create disparate regions in which zooplankton populations are retained over the shelf and biomass can accumulate or, alternatively, in which high biomass is advected offshore to the oligotrophic deep sea. 相似文献

Within the framework of the nonlinear theory of long waves, we perform the numerical analysis of the one-dimensional run-up
of solitary tsunami waves upon a plane sloping coast. We study the dependences of the run-up heights on the parameters of
waves at the entrance of the shelf zone and on the slope of the coast. The run-up heights of tsunami waves are estimated for
the bottom topography typical of the south coast of the Crimean Peninsula.

On the basis of the generalized data of multiannual observations (1985–1994), we analyze the seasonal variability of the vertical
and spatial distributions and composition (Csos, Nsos, Csos/cha, and C/N) of suspended organic substances (SOS) in the shelf zone and in the upper active layer of the abyssal part of the
Black Sea. The results of our analysis enable us to conclude that only a narrow coastal band of the shelf in the northwest
and west parts of the sea suffers to an extremely pronounced anthropogenic impact, which manifests itself in a significant
increase in the mass of suspended organic substances. The formation of new organic substances and, hence, the mass of suspended
organic substances in these regions attain the level of eutrophic waters in the late-spring and summer periods. In the open-sea
region, the anthropogenic impact is less pronounced and the spatial distribution of suspended organic substances is determined
by the general dynamics of waters and the intensity of phytoplankton production.

We perform the numerical analysis of the propagation of tsunamis in the Black Sea from the zones of seismic generation located
to the south of the Crimea and in the northwest part of the sea. It is shown that the tsunamis induced by earthquakes in the
Crimean seismic zone are entrapped by the nearest part of the shelf and do not result in noticeable oscillations of level
in the northwest part of the sea. This enables us to explain the absence of manifestations of tsunamis in 1927, 1939, and
1966 near Odessa. The tsunami waves generated by earthquakes in the northwest part of the sea are characterized by the directivity
of their propagation. The wave height is maximum in the areas corresponding to the north and east directions of propagation.
Hence, the north coast of the sea and the Kalamit Bay (Crimean Peninsula) are characterized by elevated tsunami hazard for
earthquakes occurring in the northwest part of the Black Sea.

It is generally accepted that the stationary wind circulation in the lower layer of a two-layer sea is negligibly weak even
if the bottom topography is taken into account. This opinion is true for the oceanic scales where the bottom topography has
no global slope along the meridian. However, in the case of circulation in closed and semiclosed seas, the trenchlike structure
of the bottom topography together with the beta-effect can significantly affect the intensity of currents in the bottom layer
of the sea. In the present work, we use a simple model to consider an example of intensification of deep-water wind-induced
circulation under the influence of the meridional slope of the bottom. The discovered effect enables us, in particular, to
make an assumption that the deep-water circulation in the Black Sea is much more intense than it was supposed earlier.

利用普林斯顿海洋环流模式(POM)，通过一系列的理想试验，探讨了夏季长江冲淡水的扩展机制。结果表明：(1)倾斜底形是夏季长江冲淡水向东北偏转的一个必要条件；夏季冲淡水向东北偏转是南风、斜压效应和底形的共同作用的结果，其中风应力和底形的相互作用占主导地位；单纯的底形东倾不能使冲淡水向北偏转。平底时，南风和淡水浮力强迫都不能使冲淡水向北偏转。(2)无风时，人海淡水可以在河口附近强迫出一个反气旋涡旋和贴岸南下的狭窄的沿岸流，反气旋涡旋与淡水浮力强迫(斜压效应)有关，南下沿岸流则与质量输入有关；平底时，反气旋涡旋位于河口正东，倾斜底形时，反气旋涡旋向北拉伸，冲淡水的一部分沿岸向北扩展；人海淡水在河口附近强迫出一个闭合的垂直环流圈：上层为离岸流，淡水向外海扩展，约在离岸30—45km处有下降流；低层有高盐水沿海底流向河口，约在离河口。lOkm处与向海的径流相遇，引起上升流。 相似文献

The paper discusses the data on distribution and composition of suspended matter in Guinea’s coastal zone (Tonkima and Tabunsu
river estuaries) during November–December 1990. Tidal events, bottom topography and coast-line configuration are shown to
influence sediments’ biochemical composition and distribution. The content of the organic carbon, nitrogen, total phosphate
and chlorophyll in the particulate organic matter has been determined.

Vertical variability in the bio-optical properties of seawater in the northern South China Sea(NSCS) including inherent optical properties(IOPs) and chlorophyll a concentration(Chl) were studied on the basis of in situ data collected in summer 2008 using an absorption/attenuation spectrophotometer. An empirical model was developed to estimate Chl profiles based on the absorption line height at long wavelengths, with a relative root mean square error of 37.03%. Bio-optical properties exhibited large horizontal and vertical spatial variability. As influenced by coastal upwelling and the Zhujiang River(Pearl River) discharge, both IOPs and Chl exhibited high values in the surface waters of the inner shelf, which tended to decrease with distance offshore. Subsurface maximum layers of IOPs and Chl were observed in the middle and outer shelf regions, along with significantly higher values of attenuation coefficients beneath this layer that rapidly increased towards the bottom. In the open ocean, both IOPs and Chl exhibited consistent variability, with the subsurface maximum layer typically located at34–84 m. Phytoplankton were found to be one of the major components in determining the vertical variability of bio-optical properties, with their vertical dynamics influenced by both physical forcing and light attenuation effects. The depth of the subsurface maximum layer was found to be closely related to the fluctuation of the oceanic thermocline and the depth of the euphotic zone, which also affected the total integrated biomass of the upper ocean. Typically high values of attenuation coefficients observed in the bottom waters of the continental shelf reflected the transport of particulate matter over the bottom boundary layer. Our results reveal large spatial differences in bio-optical profiles in response to complex marine ecodynamics in the NSCS. From the perspective of marine research, high-resolution optical measurements are clearly advantageous over conventional bottle sampling. 相似文献

New in situ time-series data were acquired by two ADCP moorings placed on the shelf off Richards Bay on the east coast of South Africa at depths of 25 m and 582 m between October 2009 and August 2010. The 11-month inshore bottom-temperature record revealed five substantial upwelling events lasting 5–10 days each where temperatures decreased by about 7 °C to 17–18 °C. Satellite sea surface temperature data showed these events to coincide with cold-water plumes occupying the northern wedge of the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Bight. Numerous shorter duration (1–2 days) upwelling events with less vivid surface expressions were also observed throughout the entire record where bottom temperature dropped by 2–3 °C. The last four months of the record were characterised by a protracted cool period lacking a seasonal trend but punctuated with oscillations of warm and cooler bottom water. In contrast to earlier studies that suggested upwelling was topographically and dynamically driven by the juxtaposition of the Cape St Lucia offset and the Agulhas Current (a solitary mechanism), our analysis showed almost all major and minor cold-water intrusions to coincide with upwelling-favourable north-easterly winds that simultaneously force a south-westerly coastal current. Ekman veering in the bottom boundary layer of the Agulhas Current, and the concomitant movement of cold water up the slope, was found to coexist at times with coastal upwelling, but its absence did not impede inshore cold-water intrusions, calling into question its role as a primary driver of upwelling. Both major and minor upwelling events were observed to promote phytoplankton blooms in the northern KZN Bight which commonly extended to the Thukela River. Wind-driven upwelling was also observed in the inner bight between Richards Bay and Port Durnford, explaining the ribbon of coastal chlorophyll continuously observed on ocean colour images between Cape St Lucia and the Thukela River. Similarities in upwelling character and mechanisms are observed between the northern KZN Bight and the Florida Current shelf systems. 相似文献

Faulting, mass-wasting and deposition in an active dextral shear zone, the Gulf of Saros and the NE Aegean Sea, NW Turkey 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

Structural, mass-wasting and sedimentation processes along an active dextral shear zone beneath the Gulf of Saros and the
NE Aegean Sea were investigated on the basis of new high-resolution swath bathymetric data and multi-channel seismics. A long
history of dextral shearing operating since the Pliocene culminated in the formation of a NE-SW-trending, ca. 800-m-deep basin
(the so-called inner basin) in this region, which is bordered by a broad shelf along its northern and eastern sides and a
narrow shelf at the southern side. The western extension of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (the Ganos Fault) cuts the eastern
shelf along a narrow deformation zone, and ends sharply at the toe of the slope, where the strain is taken up by two NE-SW-oriented
fault zones. These two fault zones cut the basin floor along its central axis and generate a new, Riedel-type pull-apart basin
(the so-called inner depression). According to the bathymetric and seismic data, these basin boundary fault zones are very
recent features. The northern boundary of the inner depression is a through-going fault comprising several NE-SW- and E-W-oriented,
overlapping fault segments. The southern boundary fault zone, on the other hand, consists of spectacular en-echelon fault
systems aligned in NE–SW and WNW–ESE directions. These en-echelon faults accommodate both dextral and vertical motions, thereby
generating block rotations along their horizontal axis. As the basin margins retreat, the basin widens continuously by mass-wasting
of the slopes of the inner basin. The mass-wasting, triggered by active tectonics, occurs by intense landsliding and channel
erosion. The eroded material is transported into the deep basin, where it is deposited in a series of deep-sea fans and slumps.
The high sedimentation rate is reflected in an over 1,500-m-thick basin fill which has accumulated in Pliocene–Quaternary
times. 相似文献
