Hydrographic conditions in the Tsushima Strait revisited 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Long-term averaged temperature and salinity distributions in the Tsushima Strait are investigated on the basis of a concurrent
dataset of the eastern and western channels during 1971–2000. Both temperature and salinity show a clear seasonal variation
with weak and strong stratifications in December–April and June–October, respectively. The largest standard deviations occur
in summer around the thermocline for temperature and in the surface layer for salinity. This indicates large interannual variability
in the development of a thermocline and low salinity water advection from the East China Sea. The water masses in both channels
are distinctly different from each other; the water in the western channel is generally colder and fresher than that in the
eastern channel throughout the year. Baroclinic transport based on the density distributions shows a seasonal variation with
a single peak in August for the eastern channel and double peaks in April and August for the western channel. However, this
cannot explain the seasonal variation in the total volume transport estimated from the sea level differences across the channels.
The spatial distribution of baroclinic transport shows a year-round negative transport towards the East China Sea behind the
Iki Island in the eastern part of the eastern channel. This negative transport reflects the baroclinic structure between the
offshore Tsushima Current Water and cold coastal water. The corresponding southwestward currents are found in both Acoustic
Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and high frequency (HF) radars observations. 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

Recent investigation suggests that volume transport through the Tsushima/Korea Strait often has double peaks during the summer
to autumn period with decreasing transport in September. The satellite-observed wind changes from weak northwestward (across-strait)
in summer to strong southwestward (along-strait) in early autumn (September) in the strait. Such a strong along-strait wind
is related to tropical cyclones, which frequently pass through the East China Sea in September. The effect of the along-strait
wind component on the transport variation is examined using a three-dimensional numerical model. The simulated volume transport
through the Tsushima/Korea Strait shows realistic seasonal and intra-seasonal variations. According to sensitivity experiments
on local winds, the transport variations in September are mainly generated by strong along-strait (southwestward) wind rather
than weak across-strait wind. The strait transport responds to the along-strait wind (southeastward), which produces a sea
level increase along the Korean coast, resulting in the geostrophic balance across the strait. The transport minimum through
the Tsushima/Korea Strait in September can be determined by the combination of the across-strait geostrophic and along-strait
ageostrophic balances.

Northern and southern latitudinal transects were conducted west of Tsugaru Strait to estimate the volume transport in this
area. It was found that the Tsushima Warm Current is the northward volume transport across the southern transect and the Northward
Current is the northward volume transport across the northern transect. The current in Tsugaru Strait,viz. the Tsugaru Warm Current, is the flow remaining when the Northward Current is subtracted from the Tsushima Warm Current.
Both CTD transects covered from near-shore to west of the subarctic front, and observed depths were from the surface to the
bottom or to 1000-1500 m depth. Our estimations indicate that large interannual variations of volume transport occur, relative
to the seasonal ones, with interannual variations sometimes exceeding seasonal variations in the Tsushima Warm Current and
the Northward Current. The Tsugaru Warm Current has near-steady transport. Fluctuations in the Tsushima Warm Current are thus
transmitted to the Northward Current. Further, our results revealed seasonal variations in the flow: the baloclinic structure
became deeper in April and the current axis tended to shift in a near-shore direction in October. Therefore, previous studies,
which had shallow reference levels and lacked nearshore stations, may have underestimated the transport and excessive seasonal
variations. 相似文献

A significant surface net heat loss appears around the Kuroshio and the Tsushima Warm Current regions. The area where the
surface heat loss occurs should require heat to be supplied by the current to maintain the long-term annual heat balance.
Oceanic heat advection in these regions plays an important role in the heat budget. The spatial distribution of the heat supply
by the Tsushima Warm Current near the surface was examined by calculating the horizontal heat supply in the surface layer
of the East Sea (the Japan Sea) (ESJS), directly from historical sea surface temperature and current data. We have also found
a simple estimation of the effective vertical scale of heat supply by the current to compensate net heat loss using the heat
supplied by the current in the surface 10 m layer. The heat supplied by the current for the annual heat balance was large
in the Korea/Tsushima Strait and along the Japanese Coast, and was small in the northwestern part of the ESJS. The amount
of heat supplied by the current was large in the northwestern part and small in the south-eastern part of the ESJS. These
features suggest that the heat supplied by the Tsushima Warm Current is restricted to near the surface around the northeastern
part and extends to a deeper layer around the southeastern part of the ESJS.

The relations between the volume transport and the sea level difference across the Tsushima Straits have been investigated using current data provided by ADCP mounted on the ferry Camellia, plying between Hakata and Pusan. Empirical formulas to deduce the volume transports using the sea level differences across the eastern and western channels are proposed, considering the seasonal variation of the vertical current structure. The interannual variation of volume transport through the Tsushima Straits for 37 years from 1965 to 2001 is estimated using the empirical formulas. The total volume transport through the Tsushima Straits, averaged for 37 years, is 2.60 Sv and those of the eastern and western channels are 1.13 Sv and 1.47 Sv, respectively. The total volume transport through the Tsushima Straits tends to decrease with a roughly 15 year variation until 1992, then begins to increase. 相似文献

Tomogashima Strait, which is an entrance of Osaka Bay, is a very important area for material transport because a large volume of pollutant-rich water in Osaka Bay is transported through this strait. We have investigated the cross sectional structures of current and material fluxes at Tomogashima Strait, Osaka Bay. Tidal current and residual flow patterns in cross section at Tomogashima Strait during summer and winter are almost the same, and residual flow in summer is stronger than that in winter. However, the net water exchange through the strait in summer was almost the same volume as that in winter. At Tomogashima Strait, total suspended matter (TSM) and particulate organic carbon (POC), and individual nitrogen and phosphorus compartments in Osaka Bay always flowed out except particulate organic nitrogen (PON). The average outflows of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) at Tomogashima Strait over a year were calculated to be 145 ton/d and 30 ton/d, respectively. The average outflow of DIN and DIP at Tomogashima Strait over a year were 95 ton/d and 13 ton/d (DIN/DIP = 16), respectively. Residence times of both DIN and DIP in Osaka Bay were estimated to be about two months. 相似文献

The branching of the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) along the Japanese coast is studied based upon intensive ADCP and CTD measurements
conducted off the Wakasa Bay in every early summer of 1995–1998, the analysis of the temperature distribution at 100 m depth
and the tracks of the surface drifters (Ishii and Michida, 1996; Lee et al., 1997). The first branch of TWC (FBTWC) exists throughout the year. It starts from the eastern channel of the Tsushima Straits,
flows along the isobath shallower than 200 m along the Japanese coast and flows out through the Tsugaru Strait. The current
flowing through the western channel of the Tsushima Straits feeds the second branch of TWC (SBTWC) which develops from spring
to fall. The development of SBTWC propagates from the Tsushima Straits to Noto Peninsula at a speed of about 7 cm sec−1 following the continental shelf break with a strong baroclinicity. However, SBTWC cannot be always found around the shelf
break because its path is influenced by the development of eddies. It is concluded that SBTWC is a topographically steered
current; a current steered by the continental shelf break. Salient features at intermediate depth are the southwestward subsurface
counter current (SWSCC) between 150 m and 300 m depths over the shelf region in 1995–1998 with the velocity exceeding about
5 cm sec−1, although discrepancies of the velocity and its location are observed between the ADCP data and the geostrophic currents.

An analytical model of the branching of an inertial current partly afloat incident upon a step fall in bottom topography is considered to account for the branching of the Tsushima Current induced by an abrupt increase of the bottom depth near the northern end of the Korea-Tsushima Strait. The grounded portion of the incident current is constraint by bottom topography and eventually runs along the depth discontinuity over the shallow region. Due to the inertia of the incident current, however, the ungrounded portion crosses the depth discontinuity and forms a free inertial jet, giving rise to the branching. The deflection angle of this free inertial jet is determined through an integrated momentum balance. The branching is more restricted as the grounded portion of the incident current becomes relatively more important, in terms of the momentum transport, than the ungrounded portion. For typical values of the bottom depth, the transport of the Tsushima Current through the Korea-Tsushima Strait, and for acceptable values of other physical parameters, it appears that branching is possible. Hence, the abrupt increase of the bottom depth near the northern end of the Korea-Tsushima Strait, combined with the inertia of current, may indeed be an important factor in the branching of the Tsushima Current. 相似文献

We examined the contribution of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) to nutrient budgets in Hwasun Bay, Jeju Island, Korea in August 2009, October 2014, and May 2015. The concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) in fresh groundwater were in the range of 285?716 μM and 2.3?3.2 μM, respectively, which were each 1?2 orders of magnitude higher than those in the bay seawater. The outer-bay seawater flowing into the bay was oligotrophic (2.9 ± 1.9 μM for DIN and 0.2 ± 0.3 μM for DIP). Nutrient budget calculations were performed for each season by accounting for submarine fresh groundwater discharge (SFGD) and water residence times. In August 2009 (DIN = 1.8 μM and DIN:DIP ratio = 4.6 for the outerbay water), DIN inputs from SFGD accounted for approximately 40% of the DIN inventory in the bay seawater. In October 2014 (DIN = 1.1 μM and DIP < 0.05 μM for the outer-bay water), DIP from SFGD accounted for approximately 100% of the DIP inventory in the bay seawater. In May 2015, mean concentrations of DIN and DIP in the bay seawater were 8.6 ± 12 μM and 0.11 ± 0.04 μM, respectively, with conservative behaviors in the bay seawater in association with excessive groundwater inputs. These results imply that SGD plays a critical but different role in nutrient budgets and stoichiometry in coastal waters off a volcanic island depending on open-ocean nutrient conditions. 相似文献

The most plausible scenarios for seasonal to interannual variabilities and their possible causes are investigated for the Tsushima Current system passing through the Japan Sea. The study is based on the north and south two-box model across the polar front in an idealized upper ocean of the Japan Sea. The boxes are connected by lateral diffusive heat transport and cooled by atmospheric forcing at the annual mean state. The south box, i.e. the Tsushima Current region, only interacts with the outside warmer box in the East China Sea and has an eastward thermal-driven current originating in the outside box. The magnitude of this current depends on the strength of the thermal gradient between the north and south boxes; the inflow of warm waters can therefore be maintained by net heat loss through the sea-surface. I call such a thermal-driven inflow process a "Cooling-Induced Current" system in the present study. Under periodical heat forcing, the perturbation response of the model to water temperature fields and inflow transport were examined. It is shown that the lateral diffusion time across the polar front (over a period of 10 years) is crucial to the interannual modeled response. An analysis of the seasonal heat budget suggests that the heat transported into the Japan Sea from the East China Sea in summer is stored mainly within the Tsushima Current region and contributes to heat loss by the sea-surface cooling in winter. 相似文献

Interannual salinity variations in the Tsushima Strait and its relation to the Changjiang discharge 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Interannual salinity variations in the Tsushima Strait are investigated on the basis of historical hydrographic data. The
EOF analysis revealed that the most dominant mode is the in-phase salinity variation between the eastern and western channels.
The time coefficients of the EOF first mode in summer show a negative correlation with the Changjiang discharge, which indicates
that salinity in the Tsushima Strait tends to decrease over summer, related to a large discharge of the Changjiang. The eigenvectors
of the first mode are larger in the eastern channel than those in the western channel, though the low salinity water mainly
flows through the western channel. This is because the low salinity water spreads into the eastern channel as well as the
western channel over summers with a large discharge of the Changjiang. The out-of-phase salinity variation between the channels
is extracted as the EOF second mode; this is the predominant variation in the western channel. The time coefficients of the
second mode in summer show no significant correlations to the volume transports through the western channel and the transport
differences between channels. A relationship between the EOF second mode and variations in the wind stress over the East China
Sea is suggested. 相似文献

Transports of water and nutrients (N and P) through the Taiwan Strait were calculated using chemical hydrography and currents observed in May and August 1999. The surveys were conducted along a transect across the strait in the middle section. The velocity fields were determined by phase-averaging currents measured using shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) on two repeats, which were separated by 1.5 cycles of the dominant M2 tide. Nutrient distributions were also derived from phase-averaged data. The volume transports determined from the two surveys were similar (2.0 Sv and 2.2 Sv, respectively). By contrast, the nutrient fluxes obtained in August (1.82 kmol N/s and 0.34 kmol P/s) were significantly higher than those in May (0.96 kmol N/s and 0.16 kmol P/s), apparently due to coastal upwelling under southwest monsoon in summer. The rather low N/P ratios (6.0 and 5.4 by atoms) of the nutrient fluxes were attributed to the widespread N-deficiency in the upper water column of the North Pacific. The nutrient fluxes were fed mainly through a meridional deep channel off southwest Taiwan. The nutrient contributions from the Taiwan Strait to the East China Sea in spring and summer are comparable to the total riverine contributions from the Changjiang (also know as the Yangtze River) and other smaller rivers for nitrogen, but 8–17 times larger than the latter for phosphate. Therefore, the Taiwan Strait inflow may serve as an important supplement for the P-limiting condition in the huge coastal plume in the East China Sea. 相似文献

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

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 branches of the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) are realistically reproduced using a three-dimensional ocean general circulation
model (OGCM). Simulated structures of the First Branch and the Second Branch of the TWC (FBTWC and SBTWC) in the eastern Japan
Sea are mainly addressed in this study, being compared with measurement in the period September–October 2000. This is the
first numerical experiment so far in which the OGCM is laterally exerted by real volume transports measured by acoustic Doppler
current profiler (ADCP) through the Tsushima Straits and the Tsugaru Strait. In addition, sea level variation measured by
tide-stations along the Japanese coast as well as satellite altimeters is assimilated into the OGCM through a sequential data
assimilation method. It is demonstrated that the assimilation of sea level variation at the coastal tide-stations is useful
in reproducing oceanic conditions in the nearshore region. We also examine the seasonal variation of the branches of the TWC
in the eastern Japan Sea in 2000. It is suggested as a consequence that the FBTWC is continuous along northwestern Honshu
Island in summertime, while it degenerates along the coast between the Sado Strait and the Oga Peninsula in other seasons.
On the other hand, a mainstream of the SBTWC exists with meanders and eddies in the offshore region deeper than 1000 m to
the north of the Sado Island throughout the year. 相似文献

Seasonal variations in freshwater, salt, dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) and dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in the
Bangpakong estuary, Thailand were investigated by employing the database obtained in the National Research Council of Thailand
(NRCT)-Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) cooperative project from 1994 to 1997. The results showed that variation
in interaction between coastal sea and river discharge played an important role in controlling the characteristics of the
water in the estuary. Residence time of fresh water was short in wet season and dry season, but it was long in the transition
period from season to season. DIP and DIN load depended on river discharge, while high peak concentrations were related to
loading and the long residence time in the transition period between dry and wet seasons. A strong eutrophic condition could
possibly occur when the concentration of DIP and DIN were high during the onset of the wet season from April to July. The
annual average of inorganic nutrient budgets indicated that the Bangpakong estuary is the internal source of 38.2 tons/month
DIP and the internal sink of 4.9 tons/month DIN.
