本文使用基于热成风速度的涡旋识别拓展方法,通过海表面温度数据对黑潮延伸体区域50~100 km涡旋进行研究,发现50~100 km涡旋主要分布在黑潮延伸体流轴两侧,气旋涡和反气旋涡的寿命、半径分布具有一致性。气旋涡多出现在35°N以北,反气旋涡在35°N以南比较集中,与尺度较小的中尺度涡旋分布特征较为相似。冬夏两季涡旋地理分布存在一定差异,主要与不同季节该区域海表温度梯度及风应力旋度的变化有关。35°N以南50~100 km涡旋数量的季节性变化与风速大小的季节性变化存在明显的正相关性。35°N以南50~100 km涡旋三倍半径内风速异常和风应力旋度归一化表明,气旋涡对应风速负异常而反气旋涡对应风速正异常,反气旋涡的产生依赖于风应力负旋度,气旋涡的生成与风应力正旋度有关。 相似文献

Chaotic Advection of the Shallow Kuroshio Coastal Waters 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The shallow coastal water of the Enshu-Nada Sea (ENSW) recirculates regardless of whether the Kuroshio path is straight or
has meanders. The recirculation is formed as a result of flow separation at the sharp coastline. The outputs of a recent numerical
simulation of the Kuroshio current, including case of a short-term meander caused by an anticyclonic eddy, were analysed to
track the motion of the ENSW. In contrast to the steady-flow cases, the unsteady cases showed that the ENSW discharges into
the Kuroshio Extension region and intrudes further north into the Kuroshio-Oyashio confluence region due to chaotic advection.
Two hyperbolic stagnation points of the velocity field characterise the transport paths; one south of the Izu peninsula and
the other at the Kuroshio Extension. This mechanism exists even without the Ekman drift and may play an important role in
the transportation of the fish eggs and larvae from the southern Japan spawning ground to the food abundant Kuroshio-Oyashio
transition zone.

西北太平洋柔鱼渔场分布与涡动能变化的相关关系 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
本研究利用卫星高度计数据计算海洋涡动能(Eddy Kinetic Energy,EKE),根据2010–2016年中国远洋渔业协会鱿钓组提供的西北太平洋柔鱼(Ommastrephes bartramii)渔业生产数据,分析柔鱼渔场的EKE分布特征以及黑潮延伸体EKE的时空变化对柔鱼渔场分布的影响。结果显示,柔鱼渔场的EKE与单位捕捞努力量渔获量(Catch Per Unit Effort,CPUE)呈显著负相关(P <0.01),EKE对CPUE的有效影响范围为0~1 500 cm^2/s^2,最适宜EKE范围为25~150 cm^2/s^2。黑潮延伸体EKE强度由西向东递减,与CPUE年平均呈负相关,相关系数为0.81(P <0.05)。按黑潮延伸体经度范围分为4个子区域,CPUE月平均纬度重心响应该月EKE强度最高的子区域。盛渔期8–10月渔场距离黑潮延伸体在800~1 000 km范围内时,CPUE随距离增加而增大,其中最适宜的距离范围为850~950 km。研究表明,当黑潮延伸体路径弯曲多变时,EKE增大,而柔鱼CPUE变低,渔场位置越偏北。 相似文献

The meridional distribution of autotrophic picoplankton groups in the central north Pacific was studied during the late northern summer of 1990. Sampling was along a section at 175°N which extended from 45°N to 8°S. The section is far from coastal regions and included subarctic, central gyre, and equatorial areas. Five autotrophic picoplankton groups, autotrophic microflagellate, red-fluorescing picoplankton,Synechococcus, prochlorophyte, and orange-fluorescing picoplankton, were identified from samples taken at stations distributed along this section. These five groups showed distinctive differences in their meridional and vertical distributions. The autotrophic microflagellates and red-fluorescing picoplankton showed distributions that were similar to that of chlorophyll a, which was dominated by the <3 μm size fraction. However, the vertical distribution of these groups was different.Synechococcus was found mostly in surface waters (PAR<10%) and was particularly abundant in the Kuroshio Extension and south of the equatorial region where the nitracline was shallow (50–75 m). Prochlorophytes were abundant in the deep euphotic layer (PAR 1-0.1%) from the south of the Kuroshio Extension to the south of the equatorial area. Orange-fluorescing picoplankton, which may be one kind of cyanobacteria but is larger than typical Synechococcus, were mostly distributed in the oligotrophic surface waters of the central gyre. The carbon biomass estimates for these organisms showed that these five groups dominated in different areas. The vertical distribution of carbon biomass did not correspond to that of chlorophyll a in the central gyre and south of the equator because of the larger carbon/ chlorophyll a ratio of Synechococcus and orange-fluorescing picoplankton relative to that of the other picoplankton. 相似文献

We describe the oceanographic condition as observed by hydrographic data and phytoplankton spring bloom detected by OCTS images
off Sanriku, northwestern Pacific, during the spring bloom period in 1997. The relationship between the two is discussed.
OCTS images detected the bloom in early April in the coastal area around the Izu ridge north of the Kuroshio and the eastern
coastal area of Hokkaido to the Oyashio front. The bloom areas were seen along the offshore Kuroshio Extension from the end
of April, in the upstream region of the Oyashio south of the Kurile Islands, except for a part of coastal area from the end
of May, and in the Kuroshio warm-core ring 93A (KWCR 93A) from early June. The temperature difference between the surface
and subsurface layer is used as a stratification index. This was large in the upstream region of the Oyashio south of the
Kurile Islands and KWCR 93A from early June. Previous research has pointed out that the spring bloom usually corresponds to
the development of stratification in the water column due to seasonal warming. In addition to that, we suggest that the transportation
of water containing a high chlorophylla concentration by advection due to strong currents, like the Kuroshio and the Oyashio, is important for the formation of an
area of high chlorophylla concentration. These results indicate that the OCTS images are useful for a knowledge of the distribution and the change
of chlorophylla concentration in the northwestern Pacific region. 相似文献

近惯性内波广泛存在于全球海洋,是维持深层海洋跨等密度面湍流混合及海洋层结的重要能量来源。基于黑潮-亲潮混合区的多年深海潜标数据,分析了:(1)该海域近惯性内波及其能量的季节变化特征与影响因素,(2)上层和深层近惯性运动的频率、波数谱及垂向分布等特征。结果表明,该海域存在丰富的近惯性动能,无论海洋上层还是深层均呈现显著的冬季强、夏季弱的季节变化特征,冬季(12～2月)上层的近惯性能量可占全年能量的41%,深层近惯性信号同样显著,同潮汐信号相当。平板模型分析表明,该区域近惯性动能的季节循环特征主要受风场的季节变化所主导,同时受到黑潮延伸体流轴的摆动调制。 相似文献

This paper reports on the strength and structure of the Kuroshio Extension and its recirculation gyres. In the time average, quasi-permanent recirculation gyres are found to the north and south of the Kuroshio Extension jet. The characteristics of these recirculations gyres are determined from the combined observations from the Kuroshio Extension System Study (KESS) field program (June 2004–June 2006) and include current meters, pressure and current recording inverted echo sounders, and subsurface floats. The position and strength of the recirculation gyres simulated by a high-resolution numerical model are found to be consistent with the observations. The circulation pattern that is revealed is of a complex system of multiple recirculation gyres that are embedded in the crests and troughs of the quasi-permanent meanders of the Kuroshio Extension. At the location of the KESS array, the Kuroshio Extension jet and its recirculation gyres transport of about 114 Sv. This represents a 2.7-fold increase in the transport of the current compared to the Kuroshio's transport at Cape Ashizuri before it separates from the coast and flows eastward into the open ocean. This enhancement in the current's transport comes from the development of the flanking recirculation gyres. Estimates from an array of inverted echo sounders and a high-resolution ocean general circulation model are of similar magnitude. 相似文献

In order to examine the formation, distribution and transport of North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW), repeated hydrographic
observations along several lines in the western North Pacific were carried out in the period from 1996 to 2001. NPIW formation
can be described as follows: (1) Oyashio water extends south of the Subarctic Boundary and meets Kuroshio water in intermediate
layers; (2) active mixing between Oyashio and Kuroshio waters occurs in intermediate layers; (3) the mixing of Oyashio and
Kuroshio waters and salinity minimum formation around the potential density of 26.8σθ proceed to the east. It is found that Kuroshio water flows eastward even in the region north of 40°N across the 165°E line,
showing that Kuroshio water extends north of the Subarctic Boundary. Volume transports of Oyashio and Kuroshio components
(relative to 2000 dbar) integrated in the potential density range of 26.6–27.4σθ along the Kuroshio Extension across 152°E–165°E
are estimated to be 7–8 Sv (106 m3s−1) and 9–10 Sv, respectively, which is consistent with recent work.

北太平洋黑潮延伸体区域和副热带逆流区域中尺度涡能量特征研究 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
不同科研工作者对黑潮延伸体区域和北太平洋副热带逆流区域的中尺度现象进行过不同的研究，但对两区域中尺度涡进行统一比较分析的工作较少。因此，本文利用11年的卫星高度计海表面高度异常资料分别对这两个区域的中尺度现象特征及其能量变化过程进行系统的分析和对比。研究发现，两区域的气旋涡与反气旋涡在分布、振幅、能量和寿命上均存在差异；进一步的动能谱分析和能量串级讨论发现:两区域的动能谱密度虽均集中在2×10–3～4×10–3 周/km的波数域上，但黑潮延伸体区域大部分涡旋信号分布在经向上，而北太平洋副热带逆流区域主要分布在纬向上，这可能与两区域中尺度涡能量来源的不同有关。由于两区域在2×10–3～3×10–3 周/km的波数域上动能转移项以负值为主，这说明两区域在此波数域上均存在能量源，并且发生能量逆向串级。 相似文献

Volume transports proceeding to the Kuroshio Extension region and recirculating in the Shikoku Basin 总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3

The volume transport of the Kuroshio, the western boundary current of the North Pacific subtropical gyre, varies vigorously due to merging of disturbances propagating from the entire North Pacific. Taking into account the recirculation in the Shikoku Basin by the zonal observation line at 30°N to the west of the Izu–Ogasawara Ridge, we estimated the volume transport in the top 1,000 m layer toward the Kuroshio Extension region. The volume transport of the local recirculation gyre in the Shikoku Basin increases associated with the westward extension of the gyre, particularly in the period of the large meandering path of the Kuroshio south of Japan. Meanwhile, most of the transport variations toward the Kuroshio Extension region correspond to those of the Kuroshio transport on the continental slope south of Japan, which vary independently of those of the recirculation gyre. 相似文献

In a previous paper (Oguma and Nagata, 2002), it was shown that frequency distributions of temperature and salinity in the
sea off Sanriku Coast, Japan are skewed, and sometimes observed values exceed m + 5σ (m = mean, σ = standard deviation). This means that, if we apply a 3σ criterion for a range check, many real data would be lost.
We have expanded our analysis to the subarctic North Pacific, the subarctic North Atlantic and their surrounding areas, by
computing the distributions of skewness and kurtosis. It is found that the region of high positive skewness extends in an
east-north-east direction in the Mixed Water Region from off Sanriku, and reaches to about 155°E. A high negative skewness
zone is recognized along the southern margin of the Kuroshio Extension. These are thought to be generated by the breaking
of the meander of the Kuroshio Extension and subsequent ejection of warm and cold eddies to the north and south, respectively.
Other high positive skewness areas are found to the south of Kuril Islands and in the Japan Sea. These are generated due to
very sharp vertical gradients of temperature and salinity. The situation in the North Atlantic is very similar to the North
Pacific, though the detailed nature is changed due to differences of oceanographic condition. The effect of grid size on the
skewed nature of the distribution is also discussed.

The influences of mesoscale eddies on variations of the Kuroshio path south of Japan have been investigated using time series
of the Kuroshio axis location and altimeter-derived sea surface height maps for a period of seven years from 1993 to 1999,
when the Kuroshio followed its non-large meander path. It was found that both the cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies may interact
with the Kuroshio and trigger short-term meanders of the Kuroshio path, although not all eddies that approached or collided
with the Kuroshio formed meanders. An anticyclonic eddy that revolves clockwise in a region south of Shikoku and Cape Shionomisaki
with a period of about 5–6 months was found to propagate westward along about 30°N and collide with the Kuroshio in the east
of Kyushu or south of Shikoku. This collision sometimes triggers meanders which propagate over the whole region south of Japan.
The eddy was advected downstream, generating a meander on the downstream side to the east of Cape Shionomisaki. After the
eddy passed Cape Shionomisaki, it detached from the Kuroshio and started to move westward again. Sometimes the eddy merges
with other anticyclonic eddies traveling from the east. Coalescence of cyclonic eddies, which are also generated in the Kuroshio
Extension region and propagate westward in the Kuroshio recirculation region south of Japan, into the Kuroshio in the east
of Kyushu, also triggers meanders which mainly propagate only in a region west of Cape Shionomisaki.

The statistical properties of shallow temperature inversions in the Pacific Ocean near Japan were investigated using data obtained from. BT observations. In the sea east of Honshu, the Kuroshio front forms the southern boundary of the area where temperature inversions are abundant. Though the occurrence frequency of the temperature inversion layers is very low in the sea south of Honshu, the path of the Kuroshio influences its regional distribution in this region also, and the high occurrence area shifts offshore when the large cold water mass is present off Enshu-nada. The magnitude of the inversion temperature differences in the sea south of Honshu is considerably smaller than that in the sea east of Honshu. The magnitude of inversion thickness has a clear tendency to increase from south to north in the sea east of Honshu, reflecting the higher occurrence frequency of large-scale thick inversion layers in the northern part under the influence of the sub-arctic water mass. The frequency distribution of the inversion thickness in each sub-region (1° square area) in the sea south of Honshu is very similar to that in the region just south of the Kuroshio front in the sea east of Honshu, suggesting that the inversion layers may be generated by similar mechanisms in the sea south of the Kuroshio front. 相似文献

Trajectories of mesoscale eddies in the Kuroshio recirculation region were investigated by using sea surface height (SSH)
anomaly observed by the TOPEX/POSEIDON and ERS altimeters. Cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies have been traced on maps of the
filtered SSH anomaly fields composed from the altimeter observations every ten days. Both the cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies
propagate westward in the Kuroshio recirculation region from a region south of the Kuroshio Extension. The propagation speed
of these eddies has been estimated as about 7 cm s−1, which is much faster than the phase speed theoretically estimated for the baroclinic first-mode Rossby wave in the study
area. It was also found that in the Izu-Ogasawara Ridge region, most of eddies pass through the gap between the Hachijojima
Island and Ogasawara (Bonin) Islands, and some of the eddies decay around the Izu-Ogasawara Ridge. It seems that the trajectory
of the eddies is crucially affected by the bottom topography. In the region south of Shikoku and east of Kyushu, some of the
eddies coalesce with the Kuroshio. It is also suggested that this coalescence may trigger the path variation of the Kuroshio
in the sea south of Japan.

Mesoscale Eddies Observed by TOLEX-ADCP and TOPEX/POSEIDON Altimeter in the Kuroshio Recirculation Region South of Japan 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Mesoscale eddies in the Kuroshio recirculation region south of Japan have been investigated by using surface current data measured by an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) installed on a regular ferry shuttling between Tokyo and Chichijima, Bonin Islands, and sea surface height anomaly derived from the TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter. Many cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies were observed in the region. Spatial and temporal scales of the eddies were determined by lag-correlation analyses in space and time. The eddies are circular in shape with a diameter of 500 km and a temporal scale of 80 days. Typical maximum surface velocity and sea surface height anomaly associated with the eddies are 15–20 cm s–1 and 15 cm, respectively. The frequency of occurrence, temporal and spatial scales, and intensity are all nearly the same for the cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies, which are considered to be successive wave-like disturbances rather than solitary eddies. Phase speed of westward propagation of the eddies is estimated as 6.8 cm s–1, which is faster than a theoretical estimate based on the baroclinic first-mode Rossby wave with or without a mean current. The spatial distribution of sea surface height variations suggests that these eddies may be generated in the Kuroshio Extension region and propagate westward in the Kuroshio recirculation region, though further studies are needed to clarify the generation processes. 相似文献

The interannual variability of the temperature structure of the Kuroshio Extension is studied by establishing time series for the period 1950 to 1970 and then comparing it with the time series of sea level differences across the North Equatorial Current obtained by Wyrtki (1975). First, the present analysis shows a significant correlation between the interannual fluctuation of the Kuroshio Extension and the eddy activity south of the Kuroshio axis, suggesting the importance of the eddy-driven mechanism. Secondly, spectral analysis shows close connections between the Kuroshio Extension and the North Equatorial Current with a reasonable time lag of about 1.5 years. This time lag of the mid-latitude variability is also supported by other independent data. In particular, the present preliminary study strongly suggests that the bimodal behavior of the Kuroshio path south of Japan and the intensity of the Kuroshio Countercurrent are closely connected with the Southern Oscillation/El Niño. 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

INTRODUCTIONBeing a current of high temperature and high salinity, the Kuroshio carries a large amount ofheat from low latitude tropical ocean to high latitude ocean, and plays an imPOrtant role in theheat balance in East Asia. The variability of the Kurosl,io can affect the climate of East Asia, aswell as the ocean environment and the fishery resources. A lot of studies showed that the variabilitiies of the Kuroshio were related to the global changes especially to the onset of ENSO.… 相似文献

A monthly mean climatology of the mixed layer depth (MLD) in the North Pacific has been produced by using Argo observations.
The optimum method and parameter for evaluating the MLD from the Argo data are statistically determined. The MLD and its properties
from each density profile were calculated with the method and parameter. The monthly mean climatology of the MLD is computed
on a 2° × 2° grid with more than 30 profiles for each grid. Two bands of deep mixed layer with more than 200 m depth are found
to the north and south of the Kuroshio Extension in the winter climatology, which cannot be reproduced in some previous climatologies.
Early shoaling of the winter mixed layer between 20–30°N, which has been pointed out by previous studies, is also well recognized.
A notable feature suggested by our climatology is that the deepest mixed layer tends to occur about one month before the mixed
layer density peaks in the middle latitudes, especially in the western region, while they tend to coincide with each other
in higher latitudes. 相似文献
