Since 1996, global, near-real-time maps of mesoscale anomalies derived from tandem sampling provided by altimeters aboard the TOPEX/Poseidon and ERS-2 satellites have been posted on web pages hosted at the Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research. The original, near-real-time processing system was based on a quick-look analysis that referenced the data to a high-resolution gridded mean sea surface available at the time. Recently, state-of-the-art mean sea surfaces have been derived that are based on a more complete record of altimeter observations. An updated mesoscale monitoring system based on a new mean surface is described and shown to provide improved mesoscale monitoring to the successful system implemented in 1996. 相似文献

This study compares two regional eddy resolving ocean reanalysis systems, based on the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) and ensemble optimal interpolation (EnOI), focusing on data assimilation aspects. Both systems are configured for the Tasman Sea using the same ocean model with 0.1° resolution and commonly available observations of satellite altimetry, sea surface temperature and subsurface temperature and salinity. The primary goals are to quantify the difference in performance of the EnKF and EnOI and investigate how important this difference might be from an oceanographic perspective. We find that both systems generally constrain mesoscale circulation in the region, with some exceptions for the East Australian Current separation region, the most energetic and chaotic part of the domain. Overall, the EnKF is found to consistently outperform the EnOI, producing on average 9–21% smaller innovations. The EnKF also has better forecast skill relative to the persisted analysis than the EnOI. For SST the EnKF forecast outperforms persisted analysis by about 17%, which indicates that the surface circulation is mainly constrained. The EnKF and EnOI are shown to produce qualitatively different increments of unobserved or sparsely observed variables; however, we find only moderate improvements of the EnKF over EnOI in subsurface temperature fields when compared against withheld XBT observations. We attribute this lack of a major improvement in subsurface reconstruction to the inability of the EnKF to linearly constrain the system due to initialisation shock, model error caused by open boundaries, and possibly insufficient observations. 相似文献

Zenith Total Delay (ZTD) observations and model calculations are used to analyze a mesoscale convective system which yielded a large amount of precipitation over a short period of time in the north-western Mediterranean. ZTD observations are derived from the GPS signal delay whereas the ZTD model results are calculated by means of the MM5 mesoscale model.
Large values of the root-mean-square (rms) differences between the ZTD derived from the observations and the modeling are found for the maximum activity of the mesoscale convective system. It appears that the average bias between observations and modeling results is slightly affected (20%) by the passage of the storm system which is associated to the water vapor variability of the atmosphere.
We have analyzed the ZTD differences in terms of the two components: the Zenith Hydrostatic Delay (ZHD) and the Zenith Wet Delay (ZWD). The hydrostatic error is mainly caused by the differences between the elevation of the GPS stations and the model topography and is reduced when using a more accurate topography data set. We propose a correction for this error assuming hydrostatic equilibrium. The remaining average ZTD difference is associated to the ZWD and is mainly generated by inaccuracies of the mesoscale model to predict the water vapor content during the rainfall event. 相似文献

MPAS-Ocean is used to simulate an idealized, density-driven overflow using the dynamics of overflow mixing and entrainment (DOME) setup. Numerical simulations are carried out using three of the vertical coordinate types available in MPAS-Ocean, including z-star with partial bottom cells, z-star with full cells, and sigma coordinates. The results are first benchmarked against other models, including the MITgcm’s z-coordinate model and HIM’s isopycnal coordinate model, which are used to set the base case used for this work. A full parameter study is presented that looks at how sensitive overflow simulations are to vertical grid type, resolution, and viscosity. Horizontal resolutions with 50 km grid cells are under-resolved and produce poor results, regardless of other parameter settings. Vertical grids ranging in thickness from 15 m to 120 m were tested. A horizontal resolution of 10 km and a vertical resolution of 60 m are sufficient to resolve the mesoscale dynamics of the DOME configuration, which mimics real-world overflow parameters. Mixing and final buoyancy are least sensitive to horizontal viscosity, but strongly sensitive to vertical viscosity. This suggests that vertical viscosity could be adjusted in overflow water formation regions to influence mixing and product water characteristics. Lastly, the study shows that sigma coordinates produce much less mixing than z-type coordinates, resulting in heavier plumes that go further down slope. Sigma coordinates are less sensitive to changes in resolution but as sensitive to vertical viscosity compared to z-coordinates. 相似文献

The technique of water mass analysis based on temperature-salinity curves is extended to more than three water masses (or water masses defined by temperature-salinity curves rather than points) by including one or more additional parameters and solving the equations of linear mixing without additional assumptions. The oceanographical significance of the result is studied by means of examples. It is shown that the method is particularly useful for investigations of mesoscale mixing as observed in frontal zones where interleaving and intrusions are commonly observed, and that it can be used for obtaining bulk estimates of the impact of non-isopycnal, small-scale mixing events on the mesoscale fields. Possible parameters are discussed and sources of errors reviewed. Examples are used to show that major nutrients can be used as parameters to detect non-isopycnal mixing although limitations in the historical data and low data accuracy lead to considerable error bounds at present. It is argued that introduction of continuous flow analysis techniques and continuous vertical profiling in marine chemistry will greatly improve the potential of the method. 相似文献

The design of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) involves complex tradeoffs among various design variables and mission requirements. Particularly important are the selection of a suitable energy source and the sensitivity of vehicle dimensional characteristics to mission requirements. A method of comparison based on an approximate but comprehensive approach which refers to specific parameters derivable from known designs or literature is suggested. Specific energy and energy density of candidate systems are derived with due consideration to depth-resistant vessels. The impact of the energy system choice is highlighted, going beyond simply comparing the former parameters. A design model has been developed, allowing quick sensitivity and mass-volume breakdown of alternative configurations under varying mission requirements; these are exemplified with reference to a design case. The procedure allows the correct specification of power, energy, and surface-handling systems for more detailed comparative analyses, given a common project goal and a basis for realistic cost comparison. The results show wide differences in the energy capacity of AUVs complying with identical mission data, but using with different energy systems. It is concluded that rechargeable electric batteries, even of high energy density, result in unacceptably heavy vehicles for ranges around 1000 km unless very low drag characteristics are achieved. Closed-cycle diesel and fuel cell systems allow the AUV mass to be kept below 10 t 相似文献

近年来的现场观测和理论研究发现, 次中尺度现象广泛存在于上层海洋, 其产生与锋生作用及混合层斜压不稳定存在密切联系。本文利用高分辨率的数值模拟结果并结合动力学及能量诊断分析, 对黑潮延伸体海域次中尺度过程的季节变化进行了探讨。探讨结果表明, 黑潮延伸体海域次中尺度过程具有冬季最强, 春季和秋季次之, 夏季最弱的显著季节变化特征。基于冬、夏季次中尺度能量源的诊断可以看到, 这些季节变化特征主要与上层海洋的斜压不稳定和锋生作用有关。冬季, 黑潮延伸体海域的中尺度能量较弱, 但次中尺度过程在季节尺度上表现最为活跃, 这主要与混合层斜压不稳定的作用有关; 夏季, 黑潮延伸体海域的混合层较浅, 次中尺度过程较弱, 但中尺度涡旋活跃, 中尺度流场变形引起的锋生作用对夏季次中尺度现象的产生具有重要影响。在次中尺度能量的季节变化方面, 冬季次中尺度过程从中尺度过程汲取能量的速率远高于夏季, 这是冬季次中尺度过程比夏季更为活跃的主要原因。本文研究结果有助于加深对黑潮延伸体海域次中尺度过程季节性变化及其动力机制的理解。 相似文献

Satellite ocean-color imagery and field spectroradiometer observations are used to assess the bio-optical signatures of two mesoscale features, a cyclone C1 and an 18°-water anticyclone A4, in the Sargasso Sea. Field determinations of upper layer bio-optical properties, such as the diffuse attenuation coefficient and remote-sensing reflectance spectra, show little statistically significant variations with distance to the eddy center for either eddy. This contrasts field observations showing many-fold higher phytoplankton pigment biomass at depth (and for A4 higher primary production rates at depth) than is typical for this region. The cyclone C1 does show a significant decrease in the depth of the 1% photosynthetically available radiation (PAR) isolume with increasing distance from eddy center while the anticyclone A4 shows no coherent signal vs. distance. Vertical profiles of bio-optical properties show consistent patterns where subsurface maxima are displaced higher inside the core of the cyclone C1 than in the surrounding waters while the highest values of the diffuse attenuation coefficient at 443 nm are observed within the core of anticyclone A4. Satellite observations of near-surface bio-optical properties show signals consistent with eddy physical characteristics, although the magnitude of these variations is very small, barely detectable by typical field measurement protocols. Mean values of bio-optical properties are higher within the cyclone compared with its periphery but not for the anticyclone. For both eddies, significant inverse correlations are observed between time series of bio-optical properties and eddy center sea-level anomaly. Consistent response to wind speed is also noted: following strong wind events, bio-optical parameters are elevated inside the anticyclone and are reduced inside the cyclone. These observations demonstrate that a combination of physical processes, including vertical eddy uplift, eddy horizontal advection, and eddy-scale Ekman pumping, contribute to the bio-optical imprint of mesoscale eddies. The contributions of these forcing mechanisms change over the period of observation, illustrating the limitations of inferring eddy bio-optical dynamics from short-term, field observations. The present analyses provide insights into the potential as well as the drawbacks of bio-optical techniques for probing the biological and biogeochemical impacts of open-ocean eddies. 相似文献

有效重力势能作为重力势能中活跃的部分，能够参与海洋能量循环。本文计算和评估了CMIP5中9个模式的全球大洋2 000 m以上积分的有效重力势能和200～500 m深度范围内的中尺度有效重力势能，并与由BOA_Argo观测数据计算的结果进行比较。分析表明，就全球大洋2 000 m以上积分的有效重力势能而言，多数模式的计算结果均大于由Argo观测数据计算的结果。通过比较有效重力势能的空间分布特征，发现在强动力活跃区（特别是黑潮、湾流、南极绕极流区），模式与观测相差较大，其差别主要来源于观测与模式中扰动密度的差异。此外，在黑潮和南大洋区域，涡动能和有效重力势能具有较高的时间相关性，而在北大西洋湾流区域，两者的相关性较低；功率谱分析显示中尺度有效重力势能与涡动能都存在显著的半年和年变化周期。 相似文献

中尺度涡旋是海洋中典型的中尺度现象，是海洋中能量传递的运输者，中尺度涡识别与提取是物理海洋学研究的重要内容之一，而中尺度涡自动发现算法是最基础的用于寻找与分析中尺度涡的工具。中尺度涡旋探测工作的数据来源主要为卫星高度计数据融合出的SLA数据，该数据可以客观的描述海洋表层高度状态。中尺度涡表示为SLA闭合等值线所包围的局部等值区域，涡旋识别需要从SLA数据中提取出稳定的闭合等值线结构。针对基于SLA数据中的中尺度涡探测的特点，本文提出了一种新的基于聚类方法的中尺度涡自动识别算法，通过对SLA数据集的分割与筛选将中尺度涡区域与背景区域分离，后建立区域内联系并将其映射到SLA地图上来提取中尺度涡结构。本文算法解决了传统探测算法中参数设定的敏感性问题，不需要进行稳定性测试，算法适应性增强。算法中加入了涡旋筛选机制，保证了结果的涡旋结构的稳定性，提高了识别准确率。在此基础上，本文选取了西北太平洋及中国南海地区进行了中尺度涡探测实验，实验结果展示出了本文算法在较传统算法提高算法效率的同时，也保持着较高的算法稳定性，可以在稳定识别各个单涡结构的同时识别稳定的多涡结构。 相似文献

In this article, we describe a simple yet effective method for insertion of observational datasets in a mesoscale atmospheric
model used in one-dimensional configuration through Nudging. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique, vertical
profiles of meteorological parameters obtained from GLASS Sonde launches from a tiny island of Kaashidhoo in the Republic
of Maldives are injected in a mesoscale atmospheric model — Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS), and model simulated
parameters are compared with the available observational datasets. Analysis of one-time nudging in the model simulations over
Kaashidhoo show that incorporation of this technique reasonably improves the model simulations within a time domain of +6
to +12 Hrs, while its impact on +18 Hrs simulations and beyond becomes literally null. 相似文献

本文以2006年超强台风"桑美"为个例,考察了同化雷达径向风观测资料对台风初始场和预报场的改进作用。首先对沿海新一代多普勒天气雷达的径向风观测资料进行了去噪音、退模糊等一系列的质量控制,进一步利用美国国家大气研究中心开发的中尺度数值模式WRFV3.5及其三维变分同化系统WRF-3DVAR,每30min循环同化雷达径向风观测资料。结果表明:同化多普勒雷达径向风观测资料后,对台风在模式中的初始位置进行了很好的修正,同时对台风区的动力和热力结构均有较好的调整。两组同化试验对于台风的路径、强度、降水等预报要优于控制试验,并且对背景误差协方差尺度化因子优化调整可以更有效地吸收雷达观测资料并提供更多的中小尺度信息。 相似文献

Whitings (patches of suspended fine-grained calcium carbonate) on the Great Bahama Bank (GBB) have been studied since the 1940s. The source and cause of these whitings have been hotly debated for a number of years. Recent studies have shown that resuspension of underlying sediments act as seed crystals for the slow precipitation of CaCO3. Similar studies have not been conducted on the nearby more northerly Little Bahama Bank (LBB) where satellite photographs indicate the presence of extensive whitings north of the Grand Bahama Island. Research cruises were made to the LBB in July 2003 and May 2005. On board measurements were used to examine the distribution of the components of the carbonic acid system in LBB waters. The distribution of suspended calcium carbonate was also determined and samples of the suspended material and underlying sediments were collected for analyses, including 14C age determinations.The maximum residence time for waters on the LBB is a little over half (～ 144 d) that on the GBB. A ～ 20% decrease was found in the salinity-normalized titration alkalinity for inner bank waters. This yields a carbonate precipitation rate similar to waters on the GBB. However, unlike the waters in the whitings on the GBB where no changes in carbonic acid system parameters have been detected, large changes in the carbonic acid system parameters were found in the whiting waters of the LBB. These results clearly indicate that active precipitation was occurring in these waters. These observations are interpreted as indicating that there is a much slower mixing of waters associated with whitings and surrounding bank waters on the LBB than on the GBB. The more closed nature of whitings on the LBB makes them better targets for study of the processes taking place in whitings.Suspended carbonate mineralogy and geochemistry closely matched those of the fine-grained portion of the underlying sediments. These results support a close relationship between carbonates found in whitings and those in underlying sediments. This is further evidenced by a similar age for whiting carbonates (～ 700 y) and easily resuspended sediment carbonates (～ 1000 y) and is what was previously observed on the GBB.These observations indicate that the processes leading to whiting formation and associated calcium carbonate precipitation along with changes in water chemistry are quite similar in these two shallow carbonate bank environments in the Bahamas. 相似文献

在前人的工作中，拉格朗日分析法被用来演示大尺度环流，同时拉格朗日拟序结构可以较好的演示中尺度涡两维结构的发展过程。然而，很少研究关注怎么利用拉格朗日分析法针对中尺度涡三维结构进行演示。与以往利用欧拉方法研究中尺度涡三维结构的工作不同，我们利用拉格朗日分析法，从另一个视角来研究涡旋结构。我们在海山上方模拟出一个理想的气旋涡，涡旋内的下沉流和涡旋旁的上升流形成一个闭合的环流。这种结构很难从欧拉角度来演示。然而，粒子的运动轨迹很好地展示了整个循环:流体在涡旋中旋转下沉，汇聚到底层的上升流区，并通过上升流返回到海表面。我们也将拉格朗日分析法应用于真实的模拟结果中。作为中国南海的一个重要现象，靠近越南中部的海域中的偶极子（反气旋涡/气旋涡），关于其结构的研究已经比较成熟了，但这些研究主要关注的是海面过程。通过拉格朗日分析，我们很好的演示了偶极子的三维结构:流体在反气旋涡(气旋涡)内部旋转上升(下沉)。更重要的是，粒子的轨迹表明，这两个涡旋之间不存在水团交换，因为强边界急流将它们彼此分开。以上结论均得到了计算误差估计的可信度支持。尽管在强辐散流和强垂直扩散流中，计算误差逐渐增大，但是在一定的时间步长和积分周期内，计算误差始终保持在一个较小的值。 相似文献

A long-living mesoscale cyclone observed over the Black Sea in September 2005 was characterized by a high wind velocity (25
m/sec) and induced an abnormal lowering of the sea-surface temperature (by more than 10°C). We performed the numerical simulation
of this cyclone by using the MM5 model and the data of global operative analysis. The evolution of the cyclone and its structure
similar to the structure of a tropical cyclone are reproduced. The primary azimuthal and secondary radial circulations, the
clear-sky eye with warm core at medium levels, and the eyewall with strong air updraft and intense convection and precipitation
are well visible. The fluxes of sensible and latent heat on the sea surface played the key role in the initiation and development
of this cyclone.

We investigate the performance of an eddy resolving regional ocean forecasting system of the East Australian Current (EAC) for both ensemble optimal interpolation (EnOI) and ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) with a focus on open boundary model nesting solutions. The performance of nesting into a global re-analysis; nesting into the system’s own analysis; and nesting into a free model is quantified in terms of forecast innovation error. Nesting in the global reanalysis is found to yield the best results. This is closely followed by the system that nests inside its own analysis, which seems to represent a viable practical option in the absence of a suitable analysis to nest within. Nesting into a global reanalysis without data assimilation and nesting into an unconstrained model were both found to be unable to constrain the mesoscale circulation at all times. We also find that for a specific interior area of the domain where the EAC separation takes place, there is a mixture of results for all the systems investigated here and that, whilst the application of EnKF generates the best results overall, there are still times when not even this method is able to constrain the circulation in this region with the available observations. 相似文献
