We present the results of numerical experiments aimed at the simulation of the circulation of waters and transport of impurities
in the Balaklava Bay for typical wind conditions established on the basis of the analysis of the data of in-situ measurements. The currents are computed by using the nonlinear σ-coordinate model. The specific features of the integral
circulation and three-dimensional structure of the current field are investigated. The statistical characteristics of currents
are estimated on the basis of the in-situ data on winds and model calculations. Possible scenarios of propagation of impurities from the coastal sources are analyzed
for various hydrodynamic conditions. It is shown that the localized eddy structures in the current fields (in combination
with the zones of intense vertical motion) can result in a complex character of the transport of substances in the bay and
lead to the formation of local regions of maximum concentrations of impurities on the boundary of the north and central parts
of the bay.

The prognostic fields of the surface winds and atmospheric pressure obtained according to the data of the Skiron prognostic system are used to study the surge phenomena in the Azov Sea by using a three-dimensional nonlinear model. The
accumulated numerical results are compared with the data of direct measurements of the sea level at the coastal stations.
The degree of sensitivity of the computed levels of surges to the value of the coefficient of surface friction is evaluated.

On the basis of the results obtained by using the PRECIS regional climate model with high space resolution (25 km), we study
the mesoscale specific features of the atmospheric circulation in the Black-Sea region for a period of 30 yr. To separate
and trace the subsynoptic eddies, we use a method based on the Okubo–Weiss criterion. Several types of cyclonic eddies are
selected and described: winter Caucasian coastal eddies, summer Caucasian separated eddies, cyclonic eddies of the open sea,
and seldom quasitropical cyclones. For various types of eddies, we present the statistics of their lifetime and intensity
and the histograms of diurnal and seasonal cycles. 相似文献

Eddy activity in the lee of the Hawaiian Islands 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Persistent northeasterly trade winds have a substantial impact on the oceanic circulation around the Hawaiian Islands. A regional ocean model is applied to understand the effect of different temporal and spatial resolutions of surface momentum forcing on the formation of strong mesoscale vortices and on the simulation of realistic levels of eddy kinetic energy. The higher spatial and temporal resolutions of wind forcing is shown to substantially affect the vorticity and deformation field in the immediate lee of the Hawaiian Islands and produce patterns of eddy kinetic energy similar to observations. This suggests that the surface eddy field in the region is mostly dominated by the local surface momentum forcing. Mesoscale cyclones and anticyclones formed in the lee of the Island of Hawaii are shown to have different propagation patterns. Mesoscale cyclones are more confined to the lee and are hence subject to interactions with the strong wind forcing and deformation field as well as smaller vortices formed in the wake of the other islands. Mesoscale anticyclones show not only a tendency to propagate further westward, but also to persist as coherent features as they propagate, even at relatively lower values of relative vorticity. The large strain rates that affect the propagation of the cyclones cause them to break down into filaments of positive vorticity. Rossby numbers of O(1) within vortices and filaments indicate that nonlinear interactions between the wind stress and the vertical component of the relative vorticity field is potentially important in producing large vertical velocities. Modeled cyclonic eddies show a good resemblance to observations both in terms of vertical structure and propagation patterns. 相似文献

Surface patterns of the low-frequency current in a 20 × 30 km region in front of the Venice Lagoon were analysed from a 13-month-long HF radar data set. Surface circulation was related to prevalent wind regimes in the area and to the tidal flow through the lagoon inlet. Three different categories of wind-forcing were defined: bora (NE wind), sirocco (SE wind), and finally the category containing all other wind directions and calms (winds lower than 3 m/sec). Mean flow and vorticity spatial distributions were discussed for different wind conditions. The coastal area about 5 km wide is characterized by a flow field with maximum vorticity. Outside the coastal boundary layer the interior flow is part of the Adriatic basin-wide cyclonic circulation. Two counter-rotating vortices of the dimension of about 4–5 km were evidenced in the average flow field in front of the lagoon inlet (Malamocco inlet) in all situations except for the bora. The vortex-pair is probably associated with the tidal flow through the inlet. The bora wind induces a strong southward coastal jet detached from the coast by about 5 km homogenizing the flow and eliminating the dipole. The average coastal flow pattern in calm wind conditions was also analysed as a function of the strong inflow/outflow (currents in the inlet > 0.7 m s−1) from the lagoon inlet. In both cases the vorticity pattern is similar, with the negative vorticity to the left of the inlet and positive to the right looking seaward. 相似文献

For the Black-Sea region, we perform the dynamic reanalysis of the data on atmospheric circulation for the period 1958–2001
by using the HadRM3P model with a space resolution of 25 km. We estimate the mean climatic atmospheric fields of vorticity and divergence of the
wind velocity and study their space structure and seasonal variability. The climatic estimates of the annual course of vorticity
of the wind velocity over the sea are presented. The obtained large annual average values of vorticity of the velocity reveal
the predominant role played by the wind action in the generation not only of the seasonal variability but also of the mean
cyclonic circulation of waters in the Black Sea. 相似文献

The WRF-ARW regional atmosphere circulation model has been used to reproduce a few episodes of cold intrusion and the Novorossiysk bora accompanied by the formation of the mesoscale cyclonic vortex over the Black sea, which can be clearly observed from satellite images of cloudiness. It has been shown that the vortex development is associated with the specific features of air flow around the northwestern edge of the Caucasus Mountains. We have estimated the vertical vorticity associated with the alongshore horizontal gradient of temperature. We have considered the field structure of wind velocity and temperature of the axisymmetric quasi-two-dimensional vortex generated in the coastal zone and displaced seaward after separating from the coast. With the background northerly wind, the coastal cyclonic circulation is not accompanied by the vortex separation from the coast. The specific feature of the development of the cyclonic vortex is the southeastern wind with velocities of up to 10 m/s in the Caucasus coastal area from Sochi to Sukhum. 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.

The response of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) circulation to large-scale North Pacific climate variability is explored using three high resolution (15 km) regional ocean model ensembles over the period 1950-2004. On interannual and decadal timescales the mean circulation is strongly modulated by changes in the large scale climate forcing associated with PDO and ENSO. Intensification of the model gyre scale circulation occurs after the 1976-1977 climate shift, as well as during 1965-1970 and 1993-1995. From the model dynamical budgets we find that when the GOA experiences stronger southeasterly winds, typical during the positive phase of the PDO and ENSO, there is net large-scale Ekman convergence in the central and eastern coastal boundary. The geostrophic adjustment to higher sea surface height (SSH) and lower isopycnals lead to stronger cyclonic gyre scale circulation. The opposite situation occurs during stronger northwesterly winds (negative phase of the PDO).Along the eastern side of the GOA basin, interannual changes in the surface winds also modulate the seasonal development of high amplitude anticyclonic eddies (e.g. Haïda and Sitka eddies). Large interannual eddy events during winter-spring, are phase-locked with the seasonal cycle. The initial eddy dynamics are consistent with a quasi-linear Rossby wave response to positive SSH anomalies forced by stronger downwelling favorable winds (e.g. southwesterly during El Niño). However, because of the fast growth rate of baroclinic instability and the geographical focusing associated with the coastal geometry, most of the perturbation energy in the Rossby wave is locally trapped until converted into large scale nonlinear coherent eddies. Coastally trapped waves of tropical origin may also contribute to positive SSH anomalies that lead to higher amplitude eddies. However, their presence does not appear essential. The model ensembles, which do not include the effects of equatorial coastally trapped waves, capture the large Haïda and Sitka eddy events observed during 1982 and 1997 and explain between 40% and 70% of the tidal gauges variance along the GOA coast.In the western side of the GOA basin, interannual eddy variability located south of the Alaskan Stream is not correlated with large scale forcing and appears to be intrinsic. A comparison of the three model ensembles forced by NCEP winds and a multi-century-long integration forced only with the seasonal cycle, shows that the internal variability alone explains most of the eddy variance. The asymmetry between the eddy forced regime in the eastern basin, and the intrinsic regime in the western basin, has important implications for predicting the GOA response to climate change. If future climate change results in stronger wintertime winds and increased downwelling in the eastern basin, then increased mesoscale activity (perhaps more or larger eddies) might occur in this region. Conversely, the changes in the western basin are not predictable based on environmental forcing. Eastern eddies transport important biogeochemical quantities such as iron, oxygen and chlorophyll-a into the gyre interior, therefore having potential upscale effects on the GOA high-nutrient-low-chlorophyll region. 相似文献

We study model climatic temperature and salinity fields and the fields of currents in the 350–1000-m layer. The following
specific features are revealed: Colder waters are observed in the regions with anticyclonic vorticity. At the same time, warmer
waters are detected in the regions with cyclonic vorticity. This temperature effect can be explained by the elevation of temperature
with depth below the main pycnocline. In the region of the Sevastopol anticyclone, at depths greater than 500 m, we observe
a zone of cyclonic rotation of waters. Near the Caucasian coast, in the region of Gelendzhik, we reveal a narrow jet current
existing at a depth of 350 m from March till July.

A review of the shelf-slope circulation along Australia’s southern shelves: Cape Leeuwin to Portland
A review is presented of the ocean circulation along Australia’s southern shelves and slope. Uniquely, the long, zonal shelf is subject to an equatorward Sverdrup transport that gives rise to the Flinders Current - a small sister to the world’s major Western Boundary Currents. The Flinders Current is strongest near the 600 m isobath where the current speeds can reach 20 cm/s and the bottom boundary layer is upwelling favourable. It is larger in the west but likely intermittent in both space and time due to possibly opposing winds, thermohaline circulation and mesoscale eddies. The Flinders Current may be important to deep upwelling within the ubiquitous canyons of the region.During winter, the Leeuwin Current and local winds act to drive eastward currents that average up to 20-30 cm/s. The currents associated with the intense coastal-trapped wave-field (6-12 day band) are of order 25-30 cm/s and can peak at 80-90 cm/s. Wintertime winds and cooling also lead to downwelling to depths of 200 m or more and the formation of dense coastal water within the Great Australian Bight and the South Australian Sea. Within the Great Australian Bight, the thermohaline circulation associated with this dense water is unknown, but may enhance the eastward shelf-edge, South Australian Current. The dense salty water formed within Spencer Gulf is known to cascade as a gravity current to depths of 200 m off Kangaroo Island. This dense water outflow and meanders in the shelf circulation also fix the locations of a sequence of quasi-permanent mesoscale eddies between the Eyre Peninsula and Portland.During summer, the average coastal winds reverse and surface heating leads to the formation of warm water in the western Great Australian Bight and the South Australian Sea. No significant exchange of shelf water and gulf water appears to occur due to the presence of a dense, nutrient-rich (sub-surface) pool that is upwelled off Kangaroo Island. The winds lead to weak average coastal currents (<10 cm/s) that flow to the north-west. In the Great Australian Bight, the wind stress curl can lead to an anticyclonic circulation gyre that can result in shelf-break downwelling in the western Great Australian Bight and the formation of the eastward, South Australian Current. In the east, upwelling favourable winds and coastal-trapped waves can lead to deep upwelling events off Kangaroo Island and the Bonney Coast that occur over 3-10 days and some 2-4 times a season. The alongshore currents here can be large (∼40 cm/s) and the vertical scales of upwelling are of order 150 m (off Kangaroo Island) and 250 m (off the Bonney Coast).Increasing evidence suggests that El Nino events (4-7 year period) can have a major impact on the winter and summer circulation. These events propagate from the Pacific Ocean and around the shelf-slope wave-guide of West Australia and into the Great Australian Bight. During winter El Nino events, the average shelf currents may be largely shut-down. During summer, the thermocline may be raised by up to 150 m. The nature and role of tides and surface waves is also discussed along with uncertainties in the general circulation and future research. 相似文献

The problem of the numerical analysis of currents in the Kerch Strait is studied within the framework of a linear nonstationary
two-dimensional model in the nondivergent approximation. We describe the actual situation when the motion is induced by a
breeze against the background of the daily average northeast wind. The breeze is specified as acting in a narrow coastal strip
and can be classified as a zonal wind. The variations of circulation near the Tuzla Island are studied in detail. It is shown
that the contribution of the breeze circulation to the total circulation can be significant for the explanation of the processes
running in the Kerch Strait.

Using a three-dimensional nonlinear mathematical model, we study the processes of transfer and diffusion of contaminants in
the Sea of Azov in the presence of stationary currents. Changes in the sea level, surge phenomena, and the direction and velocity
of stationary currents caused by winds with different maximum velocities are analyzed. We estimate the region of applicability
of the linear approximation and the choice of the value of integration steps over space and time coordinates. It is shown
that the growth of the maximum wind velocity increases the contaminated domains and the time of complete dispersion of the
admixture. Solutions obtained in the linear approximation differ slightly from those obtained by using the nonlinear model
for wind velocities up to 5 m/sec.

The formation of the fields of surface winds over the Black Sea occurs under the action of numerous physical factors. One
of the most important factors is the monsoon mechanism connected with the seasonal variations of buoyancy contrasts over the
sea and surrounding land. To separate the effects caused by this mechanism, we performed and described the numerical experiments
aimed at the evaluation of the sensitivity of the regional model of atmospheric circulation to the variations of land–sea
temperature contrasts. It is shown that the influence of these effects is restricted to the lower part of the atmosphere.
The presented estimates of the climatic fields of disturbances enable us to describe the monsoon mechanism specifying the
seasonal variability of the field of vorticity of the wind velocities and, as a consequence, the seasonal variability of the
large-scale circulation of waters in the Black Sea. 相似文献

We study the characteristic features of the breeze circulation in the Black-Sea region according to the data of the regional
reanalysis of atmospheric circulation carried out on the basis of the MM5 mesoscale model for August 2007 by the method of difference composites. The application of high space resolution of the model
(the step of the grid is equal to 9 km) allows us to reproduce the principal features of the sea and land breezes on c the
composite maps. It is shown that the space structure of breeze circulation is determined by the configuration of the coastline
and coastal orography. 相似文献

We perform the experimental verification of the applicability of the theory of similarity to the wave boundary layer and the
assessment of wave-induced perturbations of the air flow depending on various conditions of stratification of the atmosphere
and the state of the sea. The measurements were carried out from a stationary platform located in the coastal part of the
Black Sea. The experimental procedure is based on the simultaneous measurements of the profile and fluctuations of the wind
speed at 5–6 levels in the 1.3–21-m layer, the elevations of the sea surface, the directions of waves and winds, and the mean
gradients of temperature and humidity of air. The structure of the boundary layer in the region of measurements depends on
the direction of the wind. For weak and moderate onshore winds (< 9 m/sec), the approximate balance is preserved between the
production and dissipation of turbulent energy in the cases of unstable and neutral stratification. On the average, the estimates
of friction velocity according to the profiles are higher than the dissipative estimates by 10% mainly due to the deficiency
of dissipation near the surface. For the offshore wind, the structure of the boundary layer abruptly changes and is determined
not by the local parameters but by strong turbulent eddies formed over the dry land. The intensity of low-frequency turbulent
fluctuations and the gradient of wind velocity near the surface in the coastal zone are 1.5–2 times higher than for the open
sea.

Since mesoscale features like meanders have great importance in nourishing the coastal fisheries, satellite data analyses
and a numerical modeling study were carried out for the east coast of India during spring inter-monsoon time (March-May),
when biological productivity is high. During this time, the East India Coastal Current (EICC) system appears as a northward
flowing western boundary current of a seasonal subtropical gyre in the Bay of Bengal prior to the summer monsoon with a more
intense upwelling in the coastal region. A relatively clear sky permits satellite remote sensing of Sea Surface Temperature
(SST) and Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), whose patterns were verified against geostrophic velocity in altimeter data: i.e., phytoplankton
grows in colder and nutrient richer water bounded by the seaward meanders. Progression of meanders in the coastal current
was revealed and compared with an eddy-resolving Ocean General Circulation Model (OGCM), which is capable of modeling wind-driven
general circulation and each stage of the meander growth. The numerical solutions provided the following results, in reasonable
agreement with the linear stability theory using a two-and-a-half layer quasi-geostrophic model. Baroclinic instability plays
a key role for the meander growth and eddy generation, while meanders in the coastal current are initiated by isolated mesoscale
rotations propagating westward. The baroclinically unstable meanders have a wavelength of 500∼700 km, grow in one month and
propagate downstream of the coastal current at several kilometers per day. The instability is not strong enough for the meanders
to detach an eddy from the western boundary current. 相似文献

The steady state surface circulation in the Gulf of St. Lawrence due to wind field forcing was calculated taking the topography
into account using numerical techniques for each month of two ten year periods, 1940–49 and 1951–60. This model did not take
into consideration the ice layer on the water surface and hence is not valid for the winter months. Most of the observed circulation
features except the Gaspe current were reproduced satisfactorily. 相似文献
