基于2012年9月—2013年12月中南半岛外海累计16个月的长时间序列潜标观测数据,结合AVISO海表面高度异常（sea level anomaly,SLA）数据,首次详细分析了中南半岛外海典型中尺度涡的运动规律和垂向特征及其对环境水文特征的影响,揭示了该海域深层海流的时间变化特征。在观测期间共捕捉到3次中尺度涡过程,中尺度涡对站位所在海域主温跃层深度变化的最大影响振幅可达50 m。研究发现：1)观测站位所在海域各深度的温度异常时间变化与站位SLA时间变化的相关性随深度增加逐渐减弱。2)上层和中层的海水流动受中尺度涡影响显著。1 500 m和2 000 m的深层环流主要表现为季节变化;在强中尺度涡暖涡经过期间,中尺度涡能影响到1 500 m的环流场,同时出现30 d周期震荡。2 000 m流场则不受中尺度涡影响。3)中南半岛以东南海1 500 m处深层海流月平均流速夏季大于冬季,月平均可达3～5 cm·s-1;2 000 m处深层海流最大流速出现在冬季,月平均可达2～6 cm·s-1。深层海流受潮汐影响显著,潮汐作用主要影响深层海流东西向流速的变化。 相似文献

随着全球气候变暖,冰架崩解事件的发生愈益频繁.冰架崩解产生的冰山是南极冰盖-冰架-海洋系统中活跃的组成部分,冰山的运动特征和时空分布对南大洋洋流循环、海洋生态以及水文系统有着非常重要的影响.因此利用卫星遥感监测冰山运动与变化信息,探究冰山崩解和消融过程,研究南极冰山分布,以及冰山和周围海洋环境之间的相互作用机制,是理解南极冰山变化与全球气候变化之间关系的关键.本文利用覆盖全南极海岸线的ENVISAT ASAR影像,基于简译软件的面向对象的多尺度图像分割算法实现了全南极近岸海域冰山对象的提取.利用2006年8月63期ENVISAT ASAR影像提取了32 267座面积大于0.06 km2的冰山,统计了冰山空间分布特征,研究发现南极小型冰山在全南极淡水输入中扮演着重要的作用. 相似文献

人工地面观测转变为自动地面观测,其观测方法发生了较大的变化.通过平行观测,对鱼台县气象局(2006-2007年)及周边的金乡(2003-2004年)、微山(2004-2005年)的人工站与自动站的地面观测资料进行了对比分析,得出:无积雪状况下,人工站与自动站地面观测数据对比值较小;有积雪状况下,人工观测的雪面温度与自动观测的地面温度具有一定的对比关系.因自动观测的地面温度更能代表实际地面状况,所以,这种对比关系的出现,将为使用地表温度的水文及农业部门提供一个地表温度使用参数β,使这些部门能够更加准确地掌握地面温度的变化规律,从而为地能、地热、地表水的预测与判断提供准确数据. 相似文献

时间分辨率是风廓线雷达的一个重要指标。根据风廓线雷达工作原理和时间分辨率计算方法,提出一种利用波束轮转技术来提高风廓线雷达时间分辨率的新方法。风廓线雷达使用该方法进行探测时,采用波束优先顺序进行观测,当雷达完成一次完整的观测后,每完成一个波束的观测,将该波束的观测数据替代之前观测数据中该波束的数据,其它波束使用之前的观测数据,组合成一个新的数据后,再进行后续处理。2018年10月1—31日利用L波段风廓线雷达开展了相关观测试验,并将根据两种模式所得结果与探空数据结果进行对比。试验结果表明,使用波束轮转技术可以将风廓线雷达的时间分辨率由6 min提升至1 min,在反演得到的风廓线结果上能够看到明显的变化过程;从与探空数据的对比结果看,使用波束轮转技术得到的大气风场实际情况更加吻合。 相似文献

冰盖是大面积(超过50000 km^2)覆盖陆地表面的极厚冰体,在重力作用下的形变宏观上表现为由内陆向沿海流动[1],当前世界上仅存格陵兰和南极两大冰盖。广大的内陆区域冰雪终年不化,以极低的速率积累表面降雪继而密实化为冰川。受基岩性质和地热通量的影响,冰盖底部融化润滑在冰盖内部形成快速冰流通道。如果融水在下游积累到一定程度,则会进一步发育成为相互连通的冰下水文系统,并最终汇入海洋[2]。当固体冰川流向海洋时,受地形约束可能形成冰架,由冰水密度比值可知只有约1/10漂浮在海面以上,绝大部分冰架与海水直接接触。 相似文献

在正常情况下, 由于天线仰角和地球曲率原因, 雷达波束位置在远距离处要比近距离处高。当雷达电磁波能量被部分阻挡时, 回波强度观测值低估; 被完全挡住时, 探测不到地物后的目标。该文利用高分辨率地形高程数据计算波束阻挡率, 确定组网拼图有效数据区域以及波束部分阻挡时的回波强度订正方法。根据业务观测模式VCP11及VCP12的14个仰角值, 在标准大气假定下, 对湖南、江西、浙江、福建、广东、广西和海南已建多普勒天气雷达组网的数据有效区域进行计算, 绘制出海拔1500 m, 3000 m和6000 m高度上有效区域图。分析结果表明:CAPPI数据有效范围比等射束高度图更能反映出多普勒天气雷达业务观测范围; 若采用VCP12模式观测, 与采用VCP11或VCP21模式观测相比, 不仅增加低层探测密度, 而且可扩大雷达实际探测距离, 其回波数据更适合于组网拼图。 相似文献

Abstract Two sets of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images were collected, as part of the Labrador Ice Margin Experiment (LIMEX), over the Newfoundland Shelf on consecutive days in April 1990. Ice movement is detected from the displacement of ice floes between the two images sets and compared with ice drift data from six satellite‐tracked beacons and in situ CTD data. The ice velocity data derived from the SAR images and the beacons are used to generate a map of ice velocity vectors. A streamfunction map of ocean currents is produced by removing the direct wind‐driven component in the ice movement data, and by using an objective analysis method. The resulting flow pattern contains the offshore branch of the Labrador Current with a speed of 30 to 50 cm s?1. The current closely follows the shelf break topography from north to south through the study area (47–50.5°N) as a continuous flow. In comparison, if the wind effect was not removed from the ice velocity data, the calculated Labrador Current north of 50°N would stray from the shelf break. The position of the current axis and the current speed derived from the ice movement data are in good agreement with the geostrophic current computed from the CTD data. 相似文献

During the XXII Italian expedition in Antarctica, in the summer of 2007, severe weather conditions associated with deep convective
instability and heavy coastal precipitation occurred around the Terra Nova Bay area in the presence of an upper level trough
and energetic katabatic winds flowing from the Ross Ice Shelf over the open sea. In this case study we document an example
of boundary-layer frontal movement across the Ross Sea and mesocyclone development in conjunction with the frontal movement.
A westward fast moving boundary-layer front, generated by the leftward turning katabatic airstream to the east of Ross Island,
was observed propagating as a baroclinic wave disturbance in an easterly direction across the Ross Sea, merging later with
a mesocyclone approaching Terra Nova Bay from offshore. The observed inertial trajectory and an estimation of the radius of
curvature suggest that the vigorous katabatic airstream was sustained by the strengthening of a surface mesocyclonic circulation
settled over the north-eastern Ross Ice Shelf, triggered by a sub-synoptic upper level trough passing over the area. We hypothesise
that baroclinic instability in the low levels plays an important role in the development of a mesoscale vortex and for triggering
convective precipitation. 相似文献

This paper describes the development and application of a technique for using satellite altimeter measurements as boundary data to drive the nearshore spectral wave model, SWAN. The aim was to assess the impact in coastal areas of extreme events or changes in offshore climatology and to extend the usefulness of satellite altimetry further inshore.
For the purpose of verifying the technique, three test areas where both bathymetry and some in situ data were available were chosen. The technique could, potentially, be applied to any coastal location where there is bathymetric information although, as the results reported in this paper show, intelligence must be used in adapting the methodology for different sites. It is also necessary to have information on the local wind field from either models or measurements.
The experiments at the three test areas demonstrated that there is not a simple relationship between the offshore wave height climate and the inshore climate in a particular region. Important complicating factors are bathymetry, tidal range and incident wave angle. As was most clearly demonstrated in the Carmarthen Bay test area, bathymetric complexity leads to high spatial variation in the amount of wave energy dissipated close to the coast. In the study of extreme wave events described in this paper the exact value of the local wind field was not found to be critical.
This work was a first trial combining wave climatology derived from satellite altimetry with a third generation coastal wave model so was necessarily experimental. The general trends and patterns of spatial variation obtained are encouraging but there remains significant, unquantifiable uncertainty in the results. Better observations of nearshore waves, improved understanding of the joint probability distribution of water level and waves as well as more knowledge of future climate change would all improve accuracy. 相似文献

Surface energy balance,parameterizations of boundary-layer heights and the application of resistance laws near an Antarctic Ice Shelf front 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
A study of the surface energy balance with turbulent fluxes obtained by the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory and a comparison with results for resistance laws are presented for the strong baroclinic conditions in the vicinity of the Filchner/Ronne Ice Shelf front. The data are taken from a field experiment in the Antarctic summer season 1983/84. For the first time in the coastal Antarctic region, this data set comprises synchronous energy balance measurements over the polynya and the ice shelf together with soundings of the boundary layer, yielding vertical profiles of the wind velocity and temperature over the ice shelf, at the ice shelf front and over the polynya.Over the ice shelf, the radiation balance is the largest component of the energy fluxes and is mainly compensated by the subsurface energy flux and the turbulent heat flux in the daily mean. Over the polynya, turbulent fluxes of sensible and latent heat lead to large energy losses of the water surface in the night-time and in situations of very low air temperatures.Different parameterizations for boundary-layer height are compared using tethered sonde and energy balance measurements. With the height of the inversion base over the polynya and the height of the critical bulk Richardson number over the ice shelf, external parameters for the application of resistance laws were determined. The comparison of turbulent surface fluxes obtained by the energy balance measurements and by the resistance laws shows good agreement for the convective conditions over the polynya. For the stably stratified boundary layer over the ice shelf with small amounts of the turbulent heat flux, the deviation is large for the case of a cold air outflow with a superposed inertial oscillation. 相似文献

Impacts of remote forcing, model resolution and bathymetry on current predictions at two moorings located on the shelf of the Monterey Bay area are investigated. We consider three Monterey Bay model configurations which differ in resolution and bathymetry representation, and we specify open boundary conditions for these three configurations from two larger scale models, which have different accuracy in the representation of the remote forcing (in the form of poleward propagating along the coast coastally-trapped Kelvin type waves).Comparisons of correlations between observed and model currents as well as visual comparisons show that the most critical element in reproducing currents on the shelf is accurate representation of the remote forcing. Our results also show that accurate representation of bathymetry is the second most critical factor in reproducing observed currents. 相似文献

Abstract An examination of the temperature and current measurements from the NE Newfoundland Shelf indicates significant frontal variability at about a 7‐day period during the months of June‐September 1989. The oscillations recorded in 1989 appeared to have propagated into the region from the Labrador Shelf. Significant variability in the position of the shelf water/slope water front in the Bonavista area is also found between years and within the same year. Time series measurements also indicated that the transition from winter to summer conditions in the inshore region may be occurring during late July to early August. 相似文献

Abstract The present study examines sources of the interannual variability in salinity on the Newfoundland continental shelf observed in a 40‐year time series from an oceanographic station known as Station 27. Specifically, we investigate, through lag‐correlation analysis, the a priori hypotheses that the salinity anomalies at Station 27 are determined by freshwater runoff anomalies from Hudson and Ungava bays and by ice‐melt anomalies in Hudson Bay and on the Labrador Shelf. Interannual variations of summer runoff into Hudson Bay were significantly negatively correlated with salinity anomalies on the Newfoundland Shelf with a lag (9 months) that is consistent with expected travel times based on known current velocities in Hudson Bay and along the Labrador Shelf. Sea‐ice extent over the Labrador and northern Newfoundland shelves was significantly negatively correlated with salinity at a lag of 3 to 4 months, corresponding to the time of minimum salinity at Station 27. It appears that ice‐melt over the Labrador‐northern Newfoundland Shelf is primarily responsible for the seasonal salinity minimum over the Newfoundland Shelf. Interannual variability in runoff into Ungava Bay and ice‐melt in Hudson Bay were not correlated with interannual salinity variations on the Newfoundland Shelf. 相似文献

A two-layer theory is used to investigate (1) the steering of upper ocean current pathways by topographically constrained abyssal currents that do not impinge on the bottom topography and (2) its application to upper ocean – topographic coupling via flow instabilities where topographically constrained eddy-driven deep mean flows in turn steer the mean pathways of upper ocean currents and associated fronts. In earlier studies the two-layer theory was applied to ocean models with low vertical resolution (2–6 layers). Here we investigate its relevance to complex ocean general circulation models (OGCMs) with high vertical resolution that are designed to simulate a wide range of ocean processes. The theory can be easily applied to models ranging from idealized to complex OGCMs, provided it is valid for the application. It can also be used in understanding some persistent features seen in observed ocean frontal pathways (over deep water) derived from satellite imagery and other data. To facilitate its application, a more thorough explanation of the theory is presented that emphasizes its range of validity. Three regions of the world ocean are used to investigate its application to eddy-resolving ocean models with high vertical resolution, including one where an assumption of the two-layer theory is violated. Results from the OGCMs with high vertical resolution are compared to those from models with low vertical resolution and to observations. In the Kuroshio region upper ocean – topographic coupling via flow instabilities and a modest seamount complex are used to explain the observed northward mean meander east of Japan where the Kuroshio separates from the coast. The Japan/East Sea (JES) is used to demonstrate the impact of upper ocean – topographic coupling in a relatively weak flow regime. East of South Island, New Zealand, the Southland Current is an observed western boundary current that flows in a direction counter to the demands of Sverdrup flow and counter to the direction simulated in nonlinear global flat bottom and reduced gravity models. A model with high vertical resolution (and topography extending through any number of layers) and a model with low vertical resolution (and vertically compressed but otherwise realistic topography confined to the lowest layer) both simulate a Southland Current in the observed direction with dynamics depending on the configuration of the regional seafloor. However, the dynamics of these simulations are very different because the Campbell Plateau and Chatham Rise east and southeast of New Zealand are rare features of the world ocean where the topography intrudes into the stratified water column over a relatively broad area but lies deeper than the nominal 200 m depth of the continental shelf break, violating a limitation of the two-layer theory. Observations confirm the results from the high vertical resolution model. Overall, the model simulations show increasingly widespread upper ocean – topographic coupling via flow instabilities as the horizontal resolution of the ocean models is increased, but fine resolution of mesoscale variability and the associated flow instabilities are required to obtain sufficient coupling. As a result, this type of coupling is critical in distinguishing between eddy-resolving and eddy-permitting ocean models in regions where it occurs. 相似文献
