Water masses in the subsurface and the intermediate layer are actively formed due to strong winter convection in the Japan
Sea. It is probable that some fraction of pollution is carried into the layer below the sea surface together with these water
masses, so it is important to estimate the formation rate and turnover time of water masses to study the fate of pollutants.
The present study estimates the annual formation rate and the turnover time of water masses using a three-dimensional ocean
circulation model and a particle chasing method. The total annual formation rate of water masses below the sea surface amounted
to about 3.53 ± 0.55 Sv in the Japan Sea. Regarding representative intermediate water masses, the annual formation rate of
the Upper portion of the Japan Sea Proper Water (UJSPW) and the Japan Sea Intermediate Water (JSIW) were estimated to be about
0.38 ± 0.11 and 1.43 ± 0.16 Sv, respectively, although there was little evidence of the formation of deeper water masses below
a depth of about 1500 m in a numerical experiment. An estimate of turnover time shows that the UJSPW and the JSIW circulate
in the intermediate layer of the Japan Sea with timescales of about 22.1 and 2.2 years, respectively. 相似文献

Water, Salt, Phosphorus and Nitrogen Budgets of the Japan Sea 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Tetsuo Yanagi 《Journal of Oceanography》2002,58(6):797-804
Water, salt, phosphorus and nitrogen budgets of the Japan Sea have been calculated by box model analysis using historical
data. Average residence time of the Tsushima Warm Current Water in the upper 200 m is 2.1 years and that of the Japan Sea
Proper Water is 90 years. The salt flux from the Tsushima Strait balances those through the Tsugaru and Soya Straits. Average
residence times of phosphorus and nitrogen from the Tsushima Strait are 2.2 years and 1.6 years, respectively, in the upper
200 m of the Japan Sea. Total nitrogen/total phosphorus ratios of riverine load, the Tsushima Warm Current water and the water
in the Japan Sea are 16.4, 16.6 and 11.3, respectively. This suggests that denitrification is dominant in the Japan Sea.

Characteristics of water mass under the surface mixed layer in Tsushima Straits and the southwestern Japan Sea in autumn 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Two different cold waters were found under the surface mixed layer in Tsushima Straits and the southwestern Japan Sea in autumn
2004. One is cold saline water with a low concentration of dissolved oxygen, and the other is cold less saline water with
a high concentration of dissolved oxygen. The older saline water originates from the bottom of the East China Sea, strongly
influenced by the Kuroshio water with high salinity. The bottom density in the eastern channel of the Tsushima Straits is
coincident with that of the East China Sea in autumn, corresponding to the season when the cold saline water was frequently
found in the Tsushima Straits. The newer less saline water originates from the front of Tsushima Warm Current between the
Tsushima Warm Current water and the surface cold water in the Japan Sea. This water is formed by subduction above the isopycnal
surface from the front of the Tsushima Warm Current. 相似文献

A Numerical Modeling of the Upper and the Intermediate Layer Circulation in the East Sea 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Circulation in the upper and the intermediate layer of the East Sea is investigated by using a fine resolution, ocean general
circulation model. Proper separation of the East Korean Warm Current from the coast is achieved by adopting the isopycnal
mixing, and using the observed heat flux (Hirose et al., 1996) and the realistic wind stress (Na et al., 1992). The simulated surface circulation exhibits a remarkable seasonal variation in the flow patterns of the Nearshore
Branch, the East Korean Warm Current and the Cold Currents. East of the Oki Bank, the Nearshore Branch follows the isobath
of shelf topography from late winter to spring, while in summer and autumn it meanders offshore. The Nearshore Branch is accompanied
by cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies in a fully developed meandering phase. The meandering and the eddy formation of the Nearshore
Branch control the interior circulation in the Tsushima Current area. A recirculation gyre is developed in the region of the
East Korean Warm Current in spring and grown up to an Ulleung Basin scale in summer. A subsurface water is mixed with the
fresh surface water by winter convection in the northeastern coastal region of Korea. The well-mixed low salinity water is
transported to the south by the Cold Currents, forming the salinity minimum layer (Intermediate Water) beneath the East Korean
Warm Current water. The recirculation gyre redistributes the core water of the salinity minimum layer in the Ulleung Basin.

In the southern Japan Sea there is a salinity minimum layer between the Tsushima Current Water and the Japan Sea Proper Water.
Since the salinity minimum corresponds to the North Pacific Intermediate Water, it is named the Japan Sea Intermediate Water
(JIW). To examine the source and circulation of JIW, the basin-wide salinity minimum distribution was investigated on the
basis of hydrographic data obtained in 1969. The young JIW, showing the highest oxygen concentration and the lowest salinity,
is seen in the southwestern Japan Sea west of 133°E, while another JIW with lower oxygen and higher salinity occupies the
southeastern Japan Sea south of the subpolar front. Since the young JIW shows high oxygen concentrations, high temperatures
and low densities, the source of the water is probably in the surface layer. It is inferred that the most probable region
of subduction is the subarctic front west of 132°E with the highest oxygen and the lowest salinity at shallow salinity minimum.
In addition, property distributions suggest that JIW takes two flow paths: a eastward flow along the subarctic front and an
southward flow toward the Ulleung Basin. On the other hand, a different salinity minimum from JIW occupies the northern Japan
Sea north of the subarctic front, which shows an apparently higher salinity and high oxygen concentration than JIW. However,
this salinity minimum is considered not to be a water mass but to be a boundary between overlying and underlying water masses.

东中国海环流及其季节变化的数值模拟 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
关于东中国海环流的研究,国内外学者已做了大量的工作。早期科学家们主要依赖于对温盐资料和少数测流资料的分析研究对渤、黄、东海的环流结构有了较系统和深入的认识。东中国海环流是由一个气旋式的“流涡”组成,东侧主要是北上的黑潮-对马暖流-黄海暖流及其延伸部分;西侧为南下的沿岸流系。黑潮对东中国海环流的影响是如此之大,以致于除了某些局部区域外,上述海域主要流系的冬、夏季分布形式比较相似而无本质上的差异(胡敦欣等,1993)。但本文所研究海域正处于世界上最显著的季风区,冬、夏季盛行风向基本相反,过渡季节(春、秋季)风向多变,风力减弱;海洋热盐结构季节变化明显(如冬季混合强,而夏季层化明显等),这些因素都使得东中国海环流存在着较明显的季节变化。
自20世纪80年代以来,东中国海环流的数值模拟工作逐步展开,并已成为研究环流结构及其形成机制的强有力工具。但由于数值模式本身以及计算方案的缺陷(如有些学者用固定的风场、温盐场对东中国海环流进行诊断模拟等)和观测资料的不足,数值模拟的结果难以得到验证,渤、黄、东海的环流研究中仍有大量的问题存在争议,以待澄清。例如,台湾暖流的来源、流径;对马暖流的来源;夏季黄海暖流的流径以及黄海冷水团环流等均有不同的论述。对黄、东海环流季节变化的数值模拟工作也较少,多用冬、夏典型月份的风场强迫积分至稳定态,给出冬、夏季环流,这种做法值得商榷。三维环流模式很难在1个月内达到稳定态,尤其是夏季层化明显、风力减弱的情况下,非常定风场的影响更应引起人们的重视。
本文采用比较符合实际的计算方案,用年循环风场和海面热通量场为外强迫,对渤、黄、东海的环流及其季节变化进行了模拟,并对一些争议问题进行了探讨。 相似文献

A review is made of circulation and currents in the southwestern East/Japan Sea (the Ulleung Basin), and the Korea/Tsushima Strait which is a unique conduit for surface inflow into the Ulleung Basin. The review particularly concentrates on describing some preliminary results from recent extensive measurements made after 1996. Mean flow patterns are different in the upstream and downstream regions of the Korea/Tsushima Strait. A high velocity core occurs in the mid-section in the upstream region, and splits into two cores hugging the coasts of Korea and Japan, the downstream region, after passing around Tsushima Island located in the middle of the strait. Four-year mean transport into the East/Japan Sea through the Korea/Tsushima Strait based on submarine cable data calibrated by direct observations is 2.4 Sv (1 Sv = 106 m3 s−1). A wide range of variability occurs for the subtidal transport variation from subinertial (2–10 days) to interannual scales. While the subinertial variability is shown to arise from the atmospheric pressure disturbances, the longer period variation has been poorly understood.Mean upper circulation of the Ulleung Basin is characterized by the northward flowing East Korean Warm Current along the east coast of Korea and its meander eastward after the separation from the coast, the Offshore Branch along the coast of Japan, and the anticyclonic Ulleung Warm Eddy that forms from a meander of the East Korean Warm Current. Continuous acoustic travel-time measurements between June 1999 and June 2001 suggest five quasi-stable upper circulation patterns that persist for about 3–5 months with transitions between successive patterns occurring in a few months or days. Disappearance of the East Korean Warm Current is triggered by merging the Dok Cold Eddy, originating from the pinching-off of the meander trough, with the coastal cold water carried Southward by the North Korean Cold Current. The Ulleung Warm Eddy persisted for about 20 months in the middle of the Ulleung Basin with changes in its position and spatial scale associated with strengthening and weakening of the transport through the Korea/Tsushima Strait. The variability of upper circulation is partly related to the transport variation through the Korea/Tsushima Strait. Movements of the coastal cold water and the instability of the polar front also appear to be important factors affecting the variability.Deep circulation in the Ulleung Basin is primarily cyclonic and commonly consists of one or more cyclonic cells, and an anticyclonic cell centered near Ulleung Island. The cyclonic circulation is conjectured to be driven by a net inflow through the Ulleung Interplain Gap, which serves as a conduit for the exchange of deep waters between the Japan Basin in the northern East Sea and the Ulleung Basin. Deep currents are characterized by a short correlation scale and the predominance of mesoscale variability with periods of 20–40 days. Seasonality of deep currents is indistinct, and the coupling of upper and deep circulation has not been clarified yet. 相似文献

The Current System in the Yellow and East China Seas 总被引:18,自引:1,他引:18
During the 1990s, our knowledge and understanding of the current system in the Yellow and East China Seas have grown significantly
due primarily to new technologies for measuring surface currents and making high-resolution three-dimensional numerical model
calculations. One of the most important new findings in this decade is direct evidence of the northward current west of Kyushu
provided by satellite-tracked surface drifters. In the East China Sea shelf region, these recent studies indicate that in
winter the Tsushima Warm Current has a single source, the Kuroshio Branch Current in the west of Kyushu, which transports
a mixture of Kuroshio Water and Changjiang River Diluted Water northward. In summer the surface Tsushima Warm Current has
multiple sources, i.e., the Taiwan Warm Current, the Kuroshio Branch Current to the north of Taiwan, and the Kuroshio Branch
Current west of Kyushu. The summer surface circulation pattern in the East China Sea shelf region changes year-to-year corresponding
to interannual variations in Changjiang River discharge. Questions concerning the Yellow Sea Warm Current, the Chinese Coastal
Current in the Yellow Sea, the current field southwest of Kyushu, and the deep circulation in the Okinawa Trough remain to
be addressed in the next decade.

简要介绍了黄海和东海的地理环境概况,着重分析调查海域的环流系统。有如下一些初步看法与结论。 台湾暖流的前缘混合水,可从长江冲淡水底层穿越而影响到苏北沿岸,直到32°N以北的浅水区域。对马暖流西侧的水体是东海混合水,而其东侧为黑潮分支。黄海暖流的流向在不同季节具有规律的摆动。黄海底层冷水团属于季节性水团,其强盛及消衰与温跃层的形成及消亡紧密相关。黄海底层冷水团与中部底层冷水并非每年彼此独立,它们的共同特征甚至比其差异更明显。夏季东海冷水不能借助爬升侵入黄海底层冷水团内部。在济州岛南部区域,中层的逆温、逆盐现象,是由黄海密度环流的扩散效应与东海冷水沿黄海底层冷水团边界的爬升这两个原因而形成的。 相似文献

The subsurface current of the Japan Sea was observed by two Autonomous Lagrangian Circulation Explorer (ALACE) floats. One
float, having a 20-day cycle, was deployed on 29 July 1995 in the eastern Japan Basin and drifted in the northeastern part
of the basin until 15 September 2000. The other float, with a 10-day cycle, was deployed on 4 August 1995 in the western Japan
Basin and drifted in the western Japan Basin, in the Yamato Basin and around the Yamato Rise until it reached its life limit
in mid-May 2000. An anticlockwise circulation in the eastern Japan Basin was observed and it was assumed to be in the upper
portion of the Japan Sea Proper Water (UJSPW) or in the intermediate water. The spatial scale of the circulation increased
as the depth decreased. A clockwise circulation was observed around the Yamato Rise in the UJSPW. Smaller clockwise and anticlockwise
rotations were observed in the western Japan Sea, where a seasonal variation was seen in drift speed with different phase
by depth. The correlation coefficient between drift speeds of two floats indicated little coherence among the subsurface circulation
between the east and the west of the Japan Basin, or between the north and the south of the subpolar front.

Variability of Sea Surface Circulation in the Japan Sea 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Composite sea surface dynamic heights (CSSDH) are calculated from both sea surface dynamic heights that are derived from altimetric data of ERS-2 and mean sea surface that is calculated by a numerical model. The CSSDH are consistent with sea surface temperature obtained by satellite and observed water temperature. Assuming the geostrophic balance, sea surface current velocities are calculated. It is found that temporal and spatial variations of sea surface circulation are considerably strong. In order to examine the characteristics of temporal and spatial variation of current pattern, EOF analysis is carried out with use of the CSSDH for 3.5 years. The spatial and temporal variations of mode 1 indicate the strength or weakness of sea surface circulation over the entire Japan Sea associated with seasonal variation of volume transport through the Tsushima Strait. The spatial and temporal variations of mode 2 mostly indicate the temporal variation of the second branch of the Tsushima Warm Current and the East Korean Warm Current. It is suggested that this variation is possibly associated with the seasonal variation of volume transport through the west channel of the Tsushima Strait. Variations of mode 3 indicate the interannual variability in the Yamato Basin. 相似文献

This study estimates a realistic change of the Japan Sea by assimilating satellite measurements into an eddy-resolving circulation
model. Suboptimal but feasible assimilation schemes of approximate filtering and nudging play essential roles in the system.
The sequential update of error covariance significantly outperforms the asymptotic covariance in the sequential assimilation
due to the irregular sampling patterns from multiple altimeter satellites. The best estimates show an average rms difference
of only 1.2°C from the radiometer data, and also explain about half of the sea level variance measured by the altimeter observation.
The subsurface conditions associated with the mesoscale variabilities are also improved, especially in the Tsushima Warm Current
region. It is demonstrated that the forecast limit strongly depends on variable, depth, and location. 相似文献

The Cheju Warm Current has been defined as a mean current that rounds Cheju-do clockwise, transporting warm and saline water to the western coastal area of Cheju-do and into the Cheju Strait in the northern East China Sea (Lie et al., 1998). Seasonal variation of the Cheju Warm Current and its relevant hydrographic structures were examined by analyzing CTD data and trajectories of satellite-tracked drifters. Analysis of a combined data set of CTD and drifters confirms the year-round existence of the Cheju Warm Current west of Cheju-do and in the Cheju Strait, with current speeds of 5 to 40 cm/s. Saline waters transported by the Cheju Warm Current are classified Cheju Warm Current water for water of salinity greater than 34.0 psu and modified Cheju Warm Current for water having salinity of 33.5–34.0 psu. In winter, Cheju Warm Current water appears in a relatively large area west of Cheju-do, bounded by a strong thermohaline front formed in a "" shape. In summer and autumn, the Cheju Warm Current water appears only in the lower layer, retreating to the western coastal area of Cheju-do in summer and to the eastern coastal area sometimes in autumn. The Cheju Warm Current is found to flow in the western channel of the Korea/Tsushima Strait after passing through the Cheju Strait, contributing significantly to the Tsushima Warm Current. 相似文献

By using Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measurements with the four round-trips method to remove diurnal/semidiurnal
tidal currents, the detailed current structure and volume transport of the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) along the northwestern
Japanese coast in the northeastern Japan Sea were examined in the period September–October 2000. The volume transport of the
First Branch of the TWC (FBTWC) east of the Noto Peninsula was estimated as approximately 1.0 Sv (106 m3/s), and the FBTWC continued to flow along the Honshu Island to the south of the Oga Peninsula. To the north of the Oga Peninsula,
the Second Branch of Tsushima Warm Current and the eastward current established by the subarctic front were recombined with
the FBTWC and the total volume transport increased to 1.9 Sv. The water properties at each ADCP line strongly suggested that
most of the upper portion of the TWC with high temperature and low salinity flowed out to the North Pacific as the Tsugaru
Warm Current. In the north of the Tsugaru Strait, the volume transport of the northward current was observed to be as almost
1 Sv. However, the component of the TWC water was small (approximately 0.3 Sv). 相似文献

Water masses in the East Sea are newly defined based upon vertical structure and analysis of CTD data collected in 1993–1999 during Circulation Research of the East Asian Marginal Seas (CREAMS). A distinct salinity minimum layer was found at 1500 m for the first time in the East Sea, which divides the East Sea Central Water (ESCW) above the minimum layer and the East Sea Deep Water (ESDW) below the minimum layer. ESCW is characterized by a tight temperature–salinity relationship in the temperature range of 0.6–0.12 °C, occupying 400–1500 m. It is also high in dissolved oxygen, which has been increasing since 1969, unlike the decrease in the ESDW and East Sea Bottom Water (ESBW). In the eastern Japan Basin a new water with high salinity in the temperature range of 1–5 °C was found in the upper layer and named the High Salinity Intermediate Water (HSIW). The origin of the East Sea Intermediate Water (ESIW), whose characteristics were found near the Korea Strait in the southwestern part of the East Sea in 1981 [Kim, K., & Chung, J. Y. (1984) On the salinity-minimum and dissolved oxygen-maximum layer in the East Sea (Sea of Japan), In T. Ichiye (Ed.), Ocean Hydrodynamics of the Japan and East China Seas (pp. 55–65). Amsterdam: Elsevier Science Publishers], is traced by its low salinity and high dissolved oxygen in the western Japan Basin. CTD data collected in winters of 1995–1999 confirmed that the HSIW and ESIW are formed locally in the Eastern and Western Japan Basin. CREAMS CTD data reveal that overall structure and characteristics of water masses in the East Sea are as complicated as those of the open oceans, where minute variations of salinity in deep waters are carefully magnified to the limit of CTD resolution. Since the 1960s water mass characteristics in the East Sea have changed, as bottom water formation has stopped or slowed down and production of the ESCW has increased recently. 相似文献
