Time-longitude diagrams of monthly anomalies of TOPEX/Poseidon sea surface height (SSH), Levitus steric height, COADS wind stress curl, as well as meridional surface wind averaged over the northern South China Sea (SCS) from 18° to 22°N, exhibit a coherent westward phase propagation, with a westward propagation speed of about 5 cm s−1. The consistency between oceanic and atmospheric variables indicates that there is a forced Rossby wave in the northern SCS. The horizontal patterns of monthly SSH anomalies from observations and model sensitivity experiments show that the forced Rossby wave, originating to the northwest off Luzon Island, actually propagates west-northwestward towards the Guangdong coast because of zonal migration of the meridional surface wind. The winter Luzon Cold Eddy (LCE), which has been found from field observations, can be identified as a forced Rossby wave with a negative SSH anomaly in winter. It corresponds to strong upwelling and a negative temperature anomaly. Sensitivity experiments show that the wind forcing controls the generation of the LCE, while the Kuroshio is of minor importance. 相似文献

The accurate surface wind in the equatorial Indian Ocean is crucial for modeling ocean circulation over this region. In this study, the surface wind analysis generated at the European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) are compared with NASA QuikSCAT satellite derived Level2B (swath level) and Level3 (gridded) surface winds for the year 2005. It is observed that the ECMWF winds exhibit speed bias of 1.5 m/s with respect to QuikSCAT Level3 in the southern equatorial Indian Ocean. The NCEP winds are found to exhibit speed bias (1.0–1.5 m/s) in the southern equatorial Indian Ocean specifically during January–February 2005. The biases are also observed in the analysis when compared with Level2B product as well; however, it is less in comparison to Level3 products. The amplitude of daily variations of both ECMWF and NCEP wind speed in Bay of Bengal and parts of the Arabian Sea is about 80% of that in QuikSCAT, while in the equatorial Indian Ocean it is about 60% of that of QuikSCAT. 相似文献

Upper-layer circulation in the South China Sea has been investigated using a three-dimensional primitive equation eddy-resolving
model. The model domain covers the region from 99° to 122°E and from 3° to 23°N. The model is forced by the monthly averaged
European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model winds and the climatological monthly sea surface temperature
data from National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). Inflow and outflow through the Taiwan Strait and the Sunda shelf are
prescribed monthly from the Wyrtki estimates. Inflow of the Kuroshio branch current in the Luzon Strait is assumed to have
a constant volume transport of 12 Sv (1 Sv = 106 m3/s), and the outflow from the open boundary to the east of Taiwan is adjusted to ensure the net volume transport through all
open boundaries is zero at any instant. The model reveals that a cyclonic circulation exists all year round in the northern
South China Sea. During the winter time this cyclonic eddy is located off the northwest of Luzon, coinciding with the region
of positive wind stress curl in this season. This cyclonic eddy moves northward in spring due to the weakening of the northeast
winds. The cyclonic circulation becomes weak and stays in the continental slope region in the northern South China Sea in
the summer period. The southwest wind can raise the water level along the west coast of Luzon, but there is no anticyclonic
circulation in the northern South China Sea. After the onset of the northeast monsoon winds in fall, the cyclonic eddy moves
back to the region off the west coast of Luzon. In the southern South China Sea and off the Vietnam coast, the model predicts
a similar flow structure as in the previous related studies.

Seasonal and spatial distributions of phytoplankton biomass associated with monsoon and oceanic environments in the South China Sea 总被引：5，自引：3，他引：2
Seasonal variations of phytoplankton/chlorophyll-a （Chl-a） distribution, sea surface wind, sea height anomaly, sea surface temperature and other oceanic environments for long periods are analyzed in the South China Sea （SCS）, especially in the two typical regions off the east coast of Vietnam and off the northwest coast of Luzon, using remote sensing data and other oceanographic data. The results show that seasonal and spatial distributions of phytoplankton biomass in the SCS are primarily influenced by the monsoon winds and oceanic environments. Off the east coast of Vietnam, Chl-a concentration is a peak in August, a jet shape extending into the interior SCS, which is associated with strong southwesterly monsoon winds, the coastal upwetling induced by offshore Ekman transport and the strong offshore current in the western SCS. In December, high Chl-a concentration appears in the upwelling region off the northwest coast of Luzon and spreads southwestward. Strong mixing by the strong northeasterly monsoon winds, the cyclonic circulation, southwestward coastal currents and river discharge have impacts on distribution of phytoplankton, so that the high phytoplankton biomass extends from the coastal areas over the northern SCS to the entire SCS in winter. These research activities could be important for revealing spatial and temporal patterns of phytoplankton and their interactions with physical environments in the SCS. 相似文献

Recent progress in studies of the South China Sea circulation 总被引：13，自引：1，他引：12
The South China Sea (SCS) is a semi-enclosed marginal sea with deep a basin. The SCS is located at low latitudes, where the
ocean circulations are driven principally by the Asia-Australia monsoon. Ocean circulation in the SCS is very complex and
plays an important role in both the marine environment and climate variability. Due to the monsoon-mountain interactions the
seasonal spatial pattern of the sea surface wind stress curl is very specific. These distinct patterns induce different basin-scale
circulation and gyre in summer and winter, respectively. The intensified western boundary currents associated with the cyclonic
and anticyclonic gyres in the SCS play important roles in the sea surface temperature variability of the basin. The mesoscale
eddies in the SCS are rather active and their formation mechanisms have been described in recent studies. The water exchange
through the Luzon Strait and other straits could give rise to the relation between the Pacific and the SCS. This paper reviews
the research results mentioned above. 相似文献

The surface circulation of northern South China Sea (hereafter SCS) for the period 1987–2005 was studied using the data of
more than 500 satellite-tracked drifters and wind data from QuikSCAT. The mean flow directions in the northern SCS except
the Luzon Strait (hereafter LS) during the periods October~March was southwestward, and April~September northeastward. A strong
northwestward intrusion of the Kuroshio through the LS appears during the October~March period of northeasterly wind, but
the intrusion became weak between April and September. When the strong intrusion occurred, the eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in
the LS was 388 cm2/s2 which was almost 2 times higher than that during the weak-intrusion season. The volume transport of the Kuroshio in the east
of the Philippines shows an inverse relationship to that of the LS. There is a six-month phase shift between the two seasonal
phenomena. The volume transport in the east of the Philippines shows its peak sis-month earlier faster than that of the LS.
The strong Kuroshio intrusion is found to be also related to the seasonal variation of the wind stress curl generated by the
northeasterly wind. The negative wind stress curl in the northern part of LS induces an anticyclonic flow, while the positive
wind stress curl in the southern part of LS induces a cyclonic flow. The northwestward Kuroshio intrusion in the northern
part of LS happened with larger negative wind stress curl, while the westward intrusion along 20.5°N in the center of the
LS occurred with weaker negative wind stress curl. 相似文献

Interannual variability of the Kuroshio intrusion in the South China Sea 总被引：13，自引：1，他引：13

The interannual variability of intrusions of the Kuroshio into the South China Sea (SCS) is investigated using satellite remote
sensing data supported by in-situ measurements. The mesoscale circulation of the SCS is predominantly wind-forced by the northeast
winter and southwest summer monsoons. Although the region has been studied extensively, considerable uncertainty remains about
the annual and interannual mesoscale nature of the circulation. The frequency and characteristics of Kuroshio intrusions and
their effect on circulation patterns in the northeast SCS are also not well understood. Satellite observations of Sea Surface
Temperature (SST) from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR)
and Sea Surface Height Anomalies (SSHA) from TOPEX/ Poseidon for the period 1997–2005 are used here to analyze the annual
and interannual variability in Kuroshio intrusions and their effects on the region. Analysis of SST and SSHA shows the formation
and characteristics of intrusions vary considerably each year. Typically, the intrusion occurs in the central region of Luzon
Strait and results in an anticyclonic circulation in the northeastern SCS. However, in some years, the intrusion is located
in the northern portion of Luzon Strait and a cyclonic intrusion results. Wind stress and wind stress curl derived from the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) QuikSCAT satellite scatterometer are used to evaluate the relationship
between wind stress or wind stress curl and the presence of winter Kuroshio intrusions into the SCS. 相似文献

The dynamic importance of the Southern Indian Ocean (SIO) lies in the fact that it connects the three major world oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Modeling study has been used to understand the circulation pattern of this very important region. Simulation of SIO (10°N–60°S and 30°E–120°E) is performed with z-coordinate Ocean General Circulation Model (OGCM) viz; MOM3.0 and the results have been compared with observed ship drift data. It is found that except near coastal boundaries and in equatorial region, the simulated current reproduce most well known current pattern such as Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), South Equatorial Current (SEC) etc. and bears a resemblance to that of the observed data; however the magnitude of the surface current is weaker in model than the observed data, which may be due to deficiency in the forcing field and boundary condition and problem with observed data. The annual mean wind stress curl computed over the oceanic domain reveals about ACC and its similar importance. The way in which the ocean responds to the windstress and vertically integrated transport using model output is fascinating and rather good. 相似文献

The seasonal variability of sonic layer depth (SLD) in the central Arabian Sea (CAS) (0 to 25°N and 62-66°E) was studied using
the temperature and salinity (T/S) profiles from Argo floats for the years 2002–2006. The atmospheric forcing responsible
for the observed changes was explored using the meteorological data from NCEP/NCAR and Quickscat winds. SLD was obtained from
sound velocity profiles computed from T/S data. Net heat flux and wind forcing regulated SLD in the CAS. Up-welling and down-welling
(Ekman dynamics) associated with the Findlater Jet controlled SLD during the summer monsoon. While in winter monsoon, cooling
and convective mixing regulated SLD in the study region. Weak winds, high insolation and positive net heat flux lead to the
formation of thin, warm and stratified sonic layer during pre and post summer monsoon periods, respectively. 相似文献

On the basis of hydrographic data obtained from 28 November to 27 December, 1998, the three-dimensional structure of circulation
in the South China Sea (SCS) is computed using a three-dimensional diagnostic model. The combination of sea surface height
anomaly from altimeter data and numerical results provides a consistent circulation pattern for the SCS, and main circulation
features can be summarized as follows: in the northern SCS there are a cold and cyclonic circulation C1 with two cores C1-1
and C1-2 northwest of Luzon and an anticyclonic eddy (W1) near Dongsha Islands. In the central SCS there is a stronger cyclonic
circulation C2 with two cores C2-1 and C2-2 east of Vietnam and a weaker anticyclonic eddy W2 northwest of Palawan Island.
A stronger coastal southward jet presents west of the eddy C2 and turns to the southeast in the region southwest of eddy C2-2,
and it then turns to flow eastward in the region south of eddy C2-2. In the southern SCS there are a weak cyclonic eddy C3
northwest of Borneo and an anti-cyclonic circulation W3 in the subsurface layer. The net westward volume transport through
section CD at 119.125°E from 18.975° to 21.725°N is about 10.3 × 106 m3s−1 in the layer above 400 m level. The most important dynamic mechanism generating the circulation in the SCS is a joint effect
of the baroclinicity and relief (JEBAR), and the second dynamical mechanism is an interaction between the wind stress and
relief (IBWSR). The strong upwelling occurs off northwest Luzon. 相似文献

A regional ocean model was used to simulate the annual cycle of the upper-ocean dynamics and its influence on ocean properties in the tropical western Indian Ocean. Surface winds and heat fluxes from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) reanalysis forced the model (Model_NCEP) with initial and lateral boundary conditions derived from the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA). The model findings were in good agreement with previous research, satellite and observational data as well as another model configuration forced by Comprehensive Ocean and Atmosphere Data Sets (COADS). The initial and lateral boundary conditions for Model_COADS were extracted from World Ocean Atlas 2001. Anticyclonic wind stress curl occurred to the north of Madagascar, and extended towards the Tanzanian coast throughout the year, leading to Ekman convergence and downwelling in that region. The lowest sea-surface height values during the year occurred between 5° and 12° S with an elongated and contracted shape. The East African Coastal Current (EACC) was in phase with the westward North-East Madagascar Current (NEMC) throughout the year with volume transports peaking in June through July in the model forced by NCEP reanalysis. The variability of the volume transport, ocean currents, temperature and salinity to the north of Madagascar on the path of the NEMC mirrored those in the middle Tanzanian shelf on the path of the EACC throughout the year. The NEMC seemed to influence the water masses on the Tanzanian shelf, with cooler and lower-salinity water in the South-West Monsoon, and warmer and saltier water during the North-East Monsoon. 相似文献

Atmospheric forcing of the eastern tropical Pacific: A review 总被引：1，自引：8，他引：1

The increase in marine, land surface, atmospheric and satellite data during recent decades has led to an improved understanding of the air–sea interaction processes in the eastern tropical Pacific. This is also thanks to extensive diagnoses from conceptual and coupled ocean–atmosphere numerical models. In this paper, mean fields of atmospheric variables, such as incoming solar radiation, sea level pressure, winds, wind stress curl, precipitation, evaporation, and surface energy fluxes, are derived from global atmospheric data sets in order to examine the dominant features of the low level atmospheric circulations of the region. The seasonal march of the atmospheric circulations is presented to depict the role of radiative forcing on atmospheric perturbations, especially those dominating the atmosphere at low levels.In the tropics, the trade winds constitute an important north–south energy and moisture exchange mechanism (as part of the low level branch of the Hadley circulation), that determines to a large extent the precipitation distribution in the region, i.e., that associated with the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Monsoonal circulations also play an important role in determining the warm season precipitation distribution over the eastern tropical Pacific through a large variety of air–sea–land interaction mechanisms. Westward traveling waves, tropical cyclones, low latitude cold air intrusions, and other synoptic and mesoscale perturbations associated with the ITCZ are also important elements that modulate the annual rainfall cycle. The low-level jets of the Gulf of California, the Intra-Americas Sea (Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea) and Chocó, Colombia are prominent features of the eastern tropical Pacific low-level circulations related to sub-regional and regional scale precipitation patterns. Observations show that the Intra-Americas Low-Level Jet intensity varies with El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phases, however its origin and role in the westward propagation and development of disturbances that may hit the eastern tropical Pacific, such as easterly waves and tropical cyclones, are still unclear. Changes in the intensity of the trade winds in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico (associated with eastern tropical Pacific wind jets) exert an important control on precipitation by means of wind–topography interactions. Gaps in the mountains of southern Mexico and Central America allow strong wind jets to pass over the continent imprinting a unique signal in sea surface temperatures and ocean dynamics of the eastern tropical Pacific.The warm pools of the Americas constitute an important source of moisture for the North American Monsoon System. The northeastern tropical Pacific is a region of intense cyclogenetic activity, just west of the coast of Mesoamerica. Over the oceanic regions, large-scale properties of key variables such as precipitation, moisture, surface energy fluxes and wind stress curl are still uncertain, which inhibits a more comprehensive view of the region and stresses the importance of regional field experiments. Progress has been substantial in the understanding of the ocean and atmospheric dynamics of the eastern tropical Pacific, however, recent observational evidence such as that of a shallow meridional circulation cell in that region, in contrast to the classic concept of the Hadley-type deep meridional circulation, suggests that more in situ observations to validate theories are still necessary.This paper is part of a comprehensive review of the oceanography of the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. 相似文献

On the basis of hydrographic data obtained from 12 June to 6 July, 1998, the three-dimensional structure of circulation in
the South China Sea (SCS) is computed using a three-dimensional diagnostic model. The combination of sea surface height anomaly
from altimeter data and numerical results provides a consistent circulation pattern for the SCS, and the main circulation
features can be summarized as follows: In the northern SCS there are a cyclonic eddy C1 near Dongsha Islands and an anti-cyclonic
eddy W1 west of Luzon Island. In the central SCS a strong anti-cyclonic eddy W3 and a cyclonic eddy C3 compose a quasi-dipole
southeast of Vietnam. A coastal northward jet is present at the western boundary near the Vietnam coast above 300 m level.
This northward coastal jet flows northward and turns eastward at about 14°N, and then flows southeastward into the area between
eddies W3 and C3. In the southern SCS the current is weaker. The most important dynamic mechanism underlying the circulation
in the SCS is the joint effect of the baroclinicity and relief (JEBAR), and the second dynamical mechanism is the interaction
between the wind stress and relief (IBWSR). Comparison of the characters of circulation in the SCS during summer 2000 with
that during summer 1998 reveals no obvious variability of the main characteristics. 相似文献

Based on the satellite altimetry dataset of sea level anomalies, the climatic hydrological database World Ocean Atlas-2009, ocean reanalysis ECMWF ORA-S3, and wind velocity components from NCEP/NCAR reanalysis, the interannual variability of Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) transport in the ocean upper layer is investigated for the period 1959–2008, and estimations of correlative connections between ACC transport and wind velocity components are performed. It has been revealed that the maximum (by absolute value) linear trends of ACC transport over the last 50 years are observed in the date-line region, in the Western and Eastern Atlantic and the western part of the Indian Ocean. The greatest increase in wind velocity for this period for the zonal component is observed in Drake Passage, at Greenwich meridian, in the Indian Ocean near 90° E, and in the date-line region; for the meridional component, it is in the Western and Eastern Pacific, in Drake Passage, and to the south of Africa. It has been shown that the basic energy-carrying frequencies of interannual variability of ACC transport and wind velocity components, as well as their correlative connections, correspond to the periods of basic large-scale modes of atmospheric circulation: multidecadal and interdecadal oscillations, Antarctic Circumpolar Wave, Southern Annual Mode, and Southern Oscillation. A significant influence of the wind field on the interannual variability of ACC transport is observed in the Western Pacific (140° E–160° W) and Eastern Pacific; Drake Passage and Western Atlantic (90°–30° W); in the Eastern Atlantic and Western Indian Ocean (10°–70° E). It has been shown in the Pacific Ocean that the ACC transport responds to changes of the meridional wind more promptly than to changes of the zonal wind. 相似文献

We have constructed ocean surface data sets using mainly satellite data and called them Japanese Ocean Flux data sets with
Use of Remote sensing Observations (J-OFURO). The data sets include shortwave radiation, longwave radiation, latent heat flux,
sensible heat flux, and momentum flux etc. This article introduces J-OFURO and compares it with other global flux data sets
such as European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) and National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)
reanalysis data and da Silva et al. (1994). The usual ECMWF data are used for comparison of zonal wind. The comparison is carried out for a meridional profile
along the dateline for January and July 1993. Although the overall spatial variation is common for all the products, there
is a large difference between them in places. J-OFURO shortwave radiation in July shows larger meridional contrast than other
data sets. On the other hand, J-OFURO underestimates longwave radiation flux at low- and mid-latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere.
J-OFURO latent heat flux in January overestimates at 10°N–20°N and underestimates at 25°N–40°N. Finally, J-OFURO shows a larger
oceanic net heat loss at 10°N–20°N and a smaller loss north of 20°N in January. The data of da Silva et al. in July show small net heat loss around 20°S and large gain around 20°N, while the NCEP reanalysis (NRA) data show the opposite.
The da Silva et al. zonal wind speed overestimates at low-latitudes in January, while ECMWF wind data seem to underestimate the easterlies.

The responses to tropical cyclones of ocean wave characteristics in deep water of the western Atlantic Ocean have been investigated
extensively, but not the regional seas in the western Pacific such as the South China Sea (SCS), due to a lack of observational
and modeling studies there. Since monsoon winds prevail in the SCS but not in the western Atlantic Ocean, the SCS is unique
for investigating wave characteristics during a typhoon’s passage in conjunction with steady monsoon wind forcing. To do so,
the Wavewatch-III (WW3) is used to study the response of the SCS to Typhoon Muifa (2004), which passed over not only deep
water but also the shallow shelf of the SCS. The WW3 model is forced by the NASA QuikSCAT winds and tropical cyclone wind
profile model during Typhoon Muifa’s passage from 0000UTC 16 on November to 1200UTC on 25 November 2004. The results reveal
the unique features of the SCS wave characteristics in response to Muifa, such as non-decaying, monsoon-generated swell throughout
the typhoon period and strong topographic effects on the directional wave spectrum. 相似文献
