It is generally accepted that the flow is northward in the Taiwan Strait during summer and that the strongest current is detected in the Penghu Channel between the Penghu Islands and the Taiwan Island. This current, the eastern prong flow, is made up of waters from the South China Sea (SCS) and the Kuroshio. North of the Penghu Islands, the current veers to the west before turning northward again because of the shallow Chang-Yuen Ridge, and extends westward off the coast of Taiwan. There is a second prong of northward flow existing between the Taiwan Bank and the China mainland coast. Here, we show with observational data as well as results from a numerical model that this water receives little influence from the Kuroshio and is distinctively cooler, fresher, less oxygenated and more acidic, and contains more dissolved inorganic carbon than waters at the same density level of the eastern prong. Evidence is provided to show that the source water of the western prong should be the subsurface water from the strong upslope advection flowing northward from the SCS to the southern Taiwan Strait and upwelling along the coast during the favorable southwesterly wind. Subsequently, the upwelled water flows over the saddle west of the Taiwan Bank and joins the main flow northwest of the Penghu Islands.  相似文献

2006年夏季珠江冲淡水驱动的上升流   总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1  
根据珠江口及其附近海域2006年夏季(7-8月)航次水文调查资料,发现调查期间,除了西南季风驱动下的冲淡水东向扩散外,粤西珠江口外冲淡水主要呈西向扩散趋势,并且西向扩散的冲淡水下存在上升流。已有的模型研究中,西南季风下珠江口外没有出现上升流,说明西南季风不是珠江口外上升流产生的主导因素。观测的温盐分布、潜标流速时间序列与走航ADCP流态表明,上升流产生的原因是:(1)口门外冲淡水南向扩展驱动了垂向重力环流;(2)密度跃层以下东北向沿岸流的底边界层Ekman效应;(3)口门外冲淡水团之间的气旋型中尺度涡旋作用。  相似文献

2006年9月南海北部表层温盐场的走航观测   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
通过2006年9月南海北部开放航次的走航观测,得到了该海区多个断面的表层温度、盐度分布曲线.QuikScat海面风场资料显示观测期间处于西南季风向东北季风的转换阶段,走航观测所得的温、盐资料显示出在这一季风转换的特殊阶段该海区表层的水文特征.珠江口冲淡水的扩散范围在季风转向前后有显著的变化,低盐的冲淡水在西南季风阶段向珠江口外海区的东南方延伸较远,而在东北季风阶段则受珠江径流量、南海北部表层环流等因素的影响收缩至珠江口附近.闽南近岸和台湾浅滩南部表层具有低温高盐特征,但CTD资料表明台湾浅滩区域存在上升流,结合风场资料,可证实观测期间此处的上升流由海流-地形因素所造成.  相似文献

Here we examine the consequences of strong tidal mixing on spatial and temporal distributions of biota and sea ice above Kashevarov Bank, Sea of Okhotsk, using data from field surveys (hydrography, pressure gauge and current meter moorings, and bio-acoustic soundings) and remote sensing (NOAA AVHRR). Fortnightly variations in the amplitude of diurnal tidal currents, primarily resulting from the K1–O1 interaction, are shown to dominate water motion over the bank. These currents (with maximum velocities 2 m s−1) create a sharp tidally-mixed front that separates well-mixed water above the bank from stratified water along its flanks. Such mixing draws water upward from the cold dichothermal layer (100–150 m) into the surface layer, and thus serves to ventilate the intermediate layers of the Sea of Okhotsk. In summer, fortnightly modulation of the tidal mixing creates temporal variations in water column stratification, a critical factor in the joint supply of nutrients and light required to sustain phytoplankton growth. As such, chlorophyll-a and oxygen values vary in response to the fortnightly cycle, and zooplankton likewise form dense aggregations within the tidally-mixed front in response to the phytoplankton production. It is further noted that the brood cycle of dominant zooplankton species on the bank matches the fortnightly modulation of the tidal currents. In winter, tidal mixing draws relatively warm water upward from mid-depth to maintain a polynya that cyclically opens and closes in response to fortnightly variation in vertical heat flux.  相似文献

The seasonal variation in the larval fish community related to the hydrography in the East China Sea (ECS) off northern Taiwan was studied from February to November 2004. Hydrographic conditions in the southern ECS are strongly influenced by the different water masses due to the seasonal monsoon system. A total of 173 taxa of larval fish belonging to 68 families and 105 genera were identified during the study period. The highest abundance of larval fish was recorded in winter, a moderate abundance was seen in late spring and summer, and the lowest abundance in autumn. Significantly higher abundances were usually found in the mixing zone than in ECS and the Kuroshio Current, and the number of species of larval fish was greater during the warm period than during the cold period. The larval fish fauna in the southern ECS is a mixture of endemic and exotic species; the latter come from the coastal waters of mainland China when the northeasterly monsoon prevails, from the South China Sea during the southwesterly monsoon, and from the Kuroshio waters year-round. The succession of water masses induced by the monsoon systems and the high nutrient levels caused by frontal turbulence and topographic upwelling may determine the distributions of larval fish in terms of abundance and composition.  相似文献

夏季,黑潮在台湾东北向东海陆架的入侵表现为黑潮次表层水的强烈涌升,并在陆架上形成明显的冷穹。本研究利用ROMS(Regional Ocean Modeling System)模式,模拟了夏季黑潮入侵所形成的冷穹及上升流的三维结构,并讨论了上升流形成的动力机制。结果表明,冷穹中心在50 m以上的深度位于25.5°N,122.5°E附近,最大降温5 ℃以上;在50 m以下的深度,冷穹的中心位于台湾岛北缘。表层黑潮在台湾北缘不存在明显入侵,在陆坡东向转向附近则以气旋式环流入侵至陆架以上。此外,上升流主要位于陆坡坡度最大的区域,且黑潮次表层水的涌升存在两个较为明显的路径,分别位于台湾岛以北的100 m与200 m等深线之间以及东向转向的陆坡区域。在上层,平流作用是上升流产生的主要机制;而在近底层,平流作用与底摩擦都对上升流有贡献。  相似文献

Tidal mixing at the Kashevarov Bank, Sea of Okhotsk, has been investigated using observations of bottom pressure and currents. The tides are dominated by the diurnal constituents. The water motion over the Bank is predominantly controlled by strong diurnal tidal currents, which bring cold water on the bank from its source, a cold intermediate layer. The temperature fluctuations are about 1.2°C at the southern edge of the bank. The maximum observed velocity is about 164 cm/s at the top of the bank. A superposition of the original diurnal constituents K1 and O1 reveals a strong fortnightly (Mf) variability of the current speed. Tidal-induced mixing is responsible for ventilation of the cold intermediate layer of the Sea of Okhotsk. Strong tidal mixing creates a well-defined tidally mixed front around the bank. This front acts like a barrier separating well-mixed water on the bank from stratified water on its flanks. There is a residual current of the order of 10 cm/s.  相似文献

基于南沙群岛海域综合科学考察11个航次的实测资料,研究了南沙群岛海域的混合层深度季节变化特征。研究结果表明,南沙群岛海域混合层深度存在明显的季节变化,并且与季风和海表热通量的变化密切相关。春季,风速较小且风向不稳定,海面得到的净热通量全年最大,上层水体层结稳定,混合层深度较小;夏季,南海西南季风盛行,上层为反气旋式环流,海面得到的净热通量减少,混合层呈加深的趋势;秋季,海面净热通量继续减少,混合层深度达到最大值;冬季,东北季风驱动下形成的上层气旋式环流引起深层冷水的上升,限制了混合层的加深。  相似文献

台湾浅滩大型沙波、潮流结构和推移质输运特征   总被引:12,自引:5,他引:7

对2006年8月所获台湾浅滩的底质、水深、多层位流速、流向以及CTD观测数据进行了分析,探讨了台湾浅滩大型沙波区水流的时空分布特征、沉积物输运过程及影响因素,结果表明,台湾浅滩动力作用较强,底质为粗砂,其上发育的沙波波长为325~822 m,波高为14.4~20.3 m,较接近由前人总结的沙波波高、波长的关系式计算出的波高和波长。沙波波峰、波谷、迎水面和背水面流速以12.5 h为周期沿顺时针方向旋转;底部最大流速出现在半日潮周期的同一时段,对应的方向均为偏南方向,且沙波迎水面的流速大于背水面的。在两个半日潮过程中研究区域的沉积物输入量大于输出量,处于淤积状态。在潮流作用下沉积物输运量较少,沙波脊线移动较小,而台湾浅滩有较大规模的沙波运动,故认为改造沙波的主要作用力应该是风暴流。在观测的断面中涨潮推移质输运量大于落潮的,且第一个半日潮涨落潮的输运能力均较第二个半日潮的大,这可能与潮流的流速-时间不对称特征及潮能变化形式有关。  相似文献

春季东海不同水域的表层叶绿素含量   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
利用1994年春季在东海及台湾海峡首次获得的表层水中绿素含量大面走航连续观测资料,结合温盐分布及以往的有关东海及台湾海峡的海流和上升流的结论,分析了春季东海表层叶绿素含量在不同水域的分布特征。结果表明,叶绿素含量分布与水文结构关系密切。叶绿素含量值随不同海流流域而变,但在各海流流域内基本不变,黑潮表层水的叶绿素含量最低,其次是台湾暖流表层水,长江冲淡水与江浙沿岸流域的叶绿素含量较高;黑潮西侧弱流剧  相似文献

根据2011年6月27日至7月4日台湾海峡航次的调查资料,结合6月1日至8月31日海表温度和风场的卫星遥感数据,分析了平潭附近海域、澎湖北部海域、东山附近海域、台湾浅滩东南部海域上升流的变化特征及其与风场的关系.以海表温度差值(SSTd)来反映上升流强度,该值负值越大,上升流强度越强,分析可知:在2011年夏季,平潭附近海域上升流的强度除了7月中、下旬和8月底外,其余时段较为稳定.SSTd值与局地沿岸风速存在滞后3 d左右的相关关系,特别是稳定持续的西南风对其强度有较大的影响.澎湖北部海域上升流的SSTd值在-1℃左右,强度相对较小,且6、7月比8月时强盛,局地风场对澎湖北部海域上升流有一定的影响,但不是主要影响因素,而是由地形和风共同作用.东山附近海域上升流的强度并不稳定,在6、7月变化较剧烈,到8月SSTd值稳定在-3℃左右,SSTd值的变化对于局地沿岸风的响应同样存在一个3 d左右的滞后时间,除此之外还与上升流中心的水平变动有关.而台湾浅滩东南部海域上升流虽有波动,但持续存在,且6、7月比8月时强盛,其变化与局地风场的关系不大,主要受海流和地形等其他因素的影响.  相似文献

夏季黄海表面冷水对大气边界层及海雾的影响   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
海表面温度(SST)是海气界面上的1个物理量,受到海洋潮汐、海底地形等因素影响,并对海洋大气边界层有着重要的影响.夏季的黄海,由于黄海冷水团的存在和陆架锋的影响,或是潮汐混合的作用导致海水的垂直混合,使海表面温度的分布产生复杂的结构.通过对卫星观测的海表面温度数据分析,发现在夏季黄海有几个SST冷中心的存在:辽东半岛以及山东半岛的顶端、朝鲜半岛的西侧、山东半岛南侧、江苏外海和黄海南部等.本文利用一系列船舶观测资料、卫星遥感数据、再分析数据分析等,并运用数值模拟研究黄海的冷中心对其上大气的影响.在冷区之上,大气稳定度增加,抑制了近海面大气的垂直混合,使海表面风速减弱.通过对船测数据的分析,在冷区位置有海雾多发区的存在,黄海南部冷区上的海雾发生频率达到15%以上.Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF)模式的数值模拟表明,冷中心降低上空的温度,使海表面风速减弱,形成厚度达500m的逆温层,为海雾的形成创造了有利的条件.与船测数据结果所不同的是黄海南部冷中心之上的海雾发生频率可以达到30%,去掉冷区影响的试验表明冷区较冷的海表面温度最多可以使海雾的发生频率增加15%以上.  相似文献

台湾海峡西部海域是上升流多发区,近年来已引起众多海洋学家的重视。我国海洋学家通过对台湾海峡区水团、海流和营养盐等的分析研究,不仅得出了台湾海峡西部海域上升流的分布范围和特征,并对其成因也作了探讨,取得了一些有价值的研究结果。由于这些研究都是采用间接方法,因此对上升流的主要成因尚存在不同的看法。本文通过对引起台湾海峡西部海域上升流的各驱动力因子量级的分析,进而判断出上升流的主要成因。  相似文献

琼东上升流(EHU)是南海北部最强劲的上升流系统之一。它的水动力过程已经被很多研究所揭示,但是它的浮游植物群落依然不清楚。通过利用卫星遥感数据和2015年上升流季节的航次数据,我们首次阐明了琼东上升流区域(EHU)和其临近区域雷州半岛东部上升流区(ELPU)浮游植物生物量和群落的空间结构。在夏季季风的驱动下,我们在琼东沿岸发现了一个显著的低温高盐冷舌。由于雷州半岛东部大陆架宽广平缓,ELPU比EHU相对较弱。在EHU,由于受潮汐和风浪混合的影响,高溶解氧浓度 (>6.0 mg/l)几乎从表层延伸到30米深度。其次,低溶解氧的海水(<6.0 mg/l, 缺氧)被上升流从底层抽吸到上层。ELPU和EHU相比有更差的DO状况,在EHU,底层DO浓度由于大量的消耗,浓度甚至低于3.5 mg/l。在EHU,浮游植物生物量最大值出现在30米水层而不是在表层,约为1.5 mg/m3。这表明了上升流对于浮游植物生长和DO分布的影响范围。由于营养物质输入丰富, ELPU处的浮游植物生物量比EHU高很多。在EHU处,浮游植物生物量最大值可以达到4.0 mg/m3。浮游植物生物量在EHU和ELPU的沿岸区域则降低到了大约0.2~0.3 mg/m3,而这个值与远海接近。在EHU的近岸,浮游植物群落结构被硅藻所主宰,大约占了浮游植物生物量的50%。原核生物(大约40%)、绿藻(大约20%)、原绿球藻(大约20%)组成了EHU的近岸的主要群落。在ELPU,硅藻大约占了浮游植物生物量的80%,其次是绿藻,这表明与EHU相比,这个区域是一个相对不同的生态系统。  相似文献

2002年夏季粤东外海的海洋状况   总被引:3,自引:1,他引:3  
本文利用2002年7月22日至8月2日对粤东外海进行的水文观测资料,分析了调查海区的水温、盐度和跃层的分布状况,并对粤东沿岸的上升冷水、海洋锋等海洋现象进行了探讨.结果表明,整个粤东沿岸都存在着下层冷水的涌升现象,该现象在大亚湾外海附近和广东总来外海附近尤为明显,从而导致粤东沿岸水等温线非常密集,产生上升流锋.上升流锋随着深度的增加有向外海扩展的趋势.此外,在台湾浅潍的南部,陆架的坡析处和东沙群岛的东例以及西南部海战似乎也有下层冷水涌升的迹象.东沙群岛的北侧和西部海战有暖水中心存在,该暖水中心可能是离岸的表层水离异一定距离后发生下沉所致.珠江口的东例出现高温低盐水,其低盐水舌向东伸展,可达大亚湾口外海,等盐度线非常密集,是一个非常强的冲淡水羽状锋。  相似文献

文章利用2012年冬季南海西北部的航次探空资料, 研究了寒潮过程和海洋锋面对大气波导特征演变的共同影响。文中观测发现, 航次期间的大气波导以悬空波导为主, 平均波底高度约738.64m, 平均厚度约185.17m, 平均强度10.21M单位。观测前期, 天气形势稳定, 东北季风较弱, 在锋面暖水区一侧的悬空波导较为深厚, 且高度较低。其主要成因是大气边界层顶部925hPa至850hPa高度左右存在深厚的逆温层, 且具有显著的日变化特征。航次中期的寒潮过程导致东北季风大幅增强, 使得大气边界层顶部的逆温层被破坏, 从而导致悬空波导显著变薄变弱。而锋面冷水区一侧, 低水温抑制湍流发展导致大气修正折射率(M)的负梯度扰动较弱, 较难形成稳定且有一定强度的波导层, 且无显著日变化。但当东南暖湿气流覆盖锋面冷水区上空时, 容易形成较稳定的表面波导。  相似文献

The offshore branch of the China Coastal Current in the Taiwan Strait normally makes a U-turn north of the Zhangyun Ridge. In early 2008, the current continued straight and carried water as cold as 14 °C toward Penghu Island, causing damage to the local aquaculture and coral reef ecosystem. This study investigates the mechanism behind this intrusion of cold water using available data and a three-dimensional model.The model results show that the 2008 intrusion can be divided into three stages. At the beginning of February, the offshore branch of the China Coastal Current formed a U-shape in the Taiwan Strait; the branch moved cold water from the western strait to the central strait when the offshore geostrophic current, which is related to the southward sea level and density gradients, overcame the onshore Ekman transport caused by the northeasterly monsoon. In the second stage, in mid-February, strong northeasterly winds intensified the southwest current in the Taiwan Strait and resulted in abnormal transport of the cold water from the central strait to Penghu Island. Finally, at the end of February, the warm northeast current was re-established due to weakened wind, and the cold water gradually retreated to the north. The second processes occurred immediately after the first, resulting in the unique intrusion of cold water.  相似文献

A coastal upwelling event in the southern Taiwan Strait (STWS) was investigated using intensive cruise surveys (four repeated transects in a month) and satellite data in July and early August 2004.The extensive upwelling-associated surface cold water was first observed in early July (~2.0×10 4 km 2) along the STWS coast.Then,the cold surface water reduced in size by ~50% with decreased chlorophyll concentrations after 15 days,indicating the weakening of the upwelling event.At the end of July,the cold surface water disappeared.The temporal variations of the surface cold water and the 3-D hydrography around Dongshan Island are thought to be mainly attributed to the weakened upwelling-favorable southwestern wind,the asymmetric spatial structure of the wind field and the intrusion of warm water from the northern South China Sea.  相似文献
