由于卫星高度计数据分辨率高、观测范围广的特点，我们使用该数据开展了黑潮流的研究。在之前的研究中，卫星绝对地转流都被用于对黑潮流域的表层流场的时空变化特征进行研究，并采用了一些探测方法提取了黑潮流轴和流路。然而，海面绝对地转流是由绝对动力地形估计得到，应该被当做实际流场的地转分量，在实际应用中并不能代表真实流场。在本研究中，建立了气候态绝对地转流与网格平均的漂流浮标流场间的数学校验关系，以此对卫星绝对地转流场进行修正，即便这两种数据的性质存在些许偏差。因此，基于主成分探测法，修正后的卫星绝对地转流被用于探测黑潮流轴和流路。对比结果表明，由修正后的卫星地转流场探测得到的黑潮流轴和流路均要好于地转流和表层流估计结果。修正后的地转流有助于开展更加准确的黑潮流轴和流路的逐日探测。 相似文献

A method has been developed to monitor the surface velocity field by combining repeated acoustic Doppler current profiler
(ADCP) observations and satellite altimetry data. The geostrophic velocity anomaly is calculated from the sea surface height
anomaly field estimated from the altimetry data by an optimal interpolation. It has been confirmed that this accurately observes
the smoothed velocity anomaly field when the interpolation scales are set according to the spatio-temporal sampling pattern
of the altimeter used. The velocity anomaly obtained from the altimetry data is subtracted from the repeated ADCP observations
to estimate temporal mean velocity along the ship tracks. Regularly sampled, nine-year time series of surface velocity can
then be obtained by adding the computed mean velocity and the altimetry anomaly components. This clearly illustrates surface
velocity fluctuations such as the movement of the Kuroshio axis due to its meandering and an increase of the interannual variability
of the Subtropical Countercurrent toward its downstream region.

Sea surface dynamic topography (SSDT) can be divided into temporal mean SSDT and fluctuation SSDT. The former is approximated with a climatological mean SSDT and the latter is derived from satellite altimetry data, to give an approximated total SSDT (called a composite SSDT). The method is applied to detecting fluctuations of the Kuroshio axis south of Japan using TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter data from the first year mission in 1992–1993. The fluctuation SSDT averaged over a wide area south of Japan clearly shows an annual cycle with an amplitude of about 15 cm. Temporal changes of SSDT along a subsatellite track crossing the Kuroshio compare moderately well with those estimated from repeated hydrographic observations, although there is a discrepancy of unknown origin. The composite SSDT also compares well with SSDT estimated from the same hydrographic data. Horizontal distribution of the surface geostrophic velocity component normal to subsatellite tracks is derived every ten days from the composite SSDT. Most locations of estimated strong eastward geostrophic velocities coincide well with locations of the Kuroshio axis determined every 15 days fromin situ surface velocity measurements on various vessels; for example, a fairly large meander of the Kuroshio south of Honshu is clearly detected. It is concluded that the composite SSDT can be used reliably to detect fluctuations of the Kuroshio axis south of Japan. 相似文献

Schemes of surface flows near northwestern Kamchatka are shown, compiled from in situ observation data, numerical-model-derived data, satellite altimetry measurement data, and results calculated by the dynamic method. The flow characteristics obtained by various methods are compared. No statistically significant linear dependence of the velocities of absolute and geostrophic currents were detected. A linear dependence was observed between the directions of geostrophic flows calculated by the standard dynamic method and from satellite altimetry data, as well as between directions measured by the Argonaut MD and the calculated model. We have estimated the fraction of the ageostrophic component in currents. According to geostrophic current calculations by different methods, it ranged from 86 to 93%. A significant limitation of this data is the difficulty of their interpretation. They may not always give a perfect representation of stable water circulation in the studied area under. 相似文献

A time series of surface geostrophic velocity is developed using satellite altimetry data during 1992–2010 for a track across
the Kuroshio southeast of Kyushu, Japan. The temporal mean geostrophic velocity is estimated by combining the along-track
sea level anomaly and shipboard ADCP data. This approximately 6-km resolution dataset is successful in representing the Kuroshio
cross-current structure and temporal variation of the Kuroshio current-axis position during 2000–2010. The authors use this
dataset to examine the winter Kuroshio path destabilization phenomenon. Its seasonal features are characterized as follows:
the velocity shear on the inshore side of the Kuroshio becomes stronger and the Kuroshio path state becomes unstable from
the summer to winter. This evidence is consistent with the hypothetical mechanism governing the destabilization phenomenon
discussed in a previous study. Furthermore, the interannual amplitude modulation of the seasonality is examined in relation
to interannual variations in the winter northerly wind over the northern Okinawa Trough and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation
(PDO) index. The destabilization phenomenon appears 15 times in the period 2000–2010. Ten cases are related to local wind
effects, and 7 of these are also connected with the PDO index. This is probably because the winter northerly wind over the
northern Okinawa Trough is regulated by the PDO signal in interannual time-scales. Only 4 cases are related to the PDO index,
but their driving mechanism remains uncertain. 相似文献

Comparison of Kuroshio surface velocities derived from satellite altimeter and drifting buoy data 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Sea-surface geostrophic velocities for the Kuroshio region calculated from TOPEX/POSEIDON altimetry data together within situ oceanographic data are compared with surface velocities derived from drifting buoy trajectories. The geostrophic velocities
agree well with the observed velocities, suggesting that the Kuroshio surface layer is essentially in geostrophic balance,
within measurement error. The comparison is improved a little when the centrifugal acceleration is taken into account. The
observed velocities are divided into the temporal mean and fluctuation components, and the partitioning of velocities between
these two components is examined. For the Kuroshio region, most of the fluctuation components of the velocities derived from
drifting buoys are found to be positive. This result suggests that Eulerian mean velocities for the Kuroshio region estimated
from drifting buoy data tend to be larger than actual means, due to the buoy’s tendency to sample preferentially in the high-velocity
Kuroshio. 相似文献

We investigated the movement of the Kuroshio axis on the northeast shelf of Taiwan associated with the passage of typhoons, using sea surface current data observed by the ocean radar system on Yonaguni and Ishigaki islands. First, we examined daily Kuroshio axis variation on the northeast shelf of Taiwan during typhoon events. The ocean radar data showed that the Kuroshio axis moved onto the shelf after passages of typhoons. The Kuroshio moved onto the shelf and stayed there after the passage of Typhoon Hai-Tang; while the Kuroshio maintained this pattern, southerly wind blew continuously for 4 days. The mean current speed northeast of Taiwan after the typhoon's passage increased by 18 cm s−1. In addition, the sea level difference between two satellite altimetry tracks east of Taiwan increased by 14.4 cm. These results suggest that coastal upwelling east of Taiwan caused by the southerly wind generated an east–west sea level difference that, in turn, generated a northward geostrophic current. This current could have enhanced the Kuroshio east of Taiwan, and pushed it onto the shelf. 相似文献

Combined measurements of satellite altimeters make it possible to determine anomalies of the sea level of the Black Sea on a regular grid with a high spatial resolution 1/8°. In this work arrays of total geostrophic velocities of currents in the Black Sea basin are retrieved and compared with drifter measurements of current velocities for 1999–2007. The comparison is performed both for the whole array of drifter measurements (～110000 measurements) and individually for each drifter. To retrieve the velocities, two different arrays of mean dynamic topography (MDT) are used: synthetic and climatic mean dynamic topography. The comparison results demonstrate that using synthetic MDT is preferable for calculating geostrophic velocities. Velocities calculated by from satellite altimetry data agree with velocities obtained by in-situ data. 相似文献

Altimeter and in situ data are used to estimate the mean surface zonal geostrophic current in the section along 115°E in the southern Indian Ocean,and the variation of strong currents in relation to the major fronts is studied.The results show that,in average,the flow in the core of Antarctic Circumpolar Current(ACC) along the section is composed of two parts,one corresponds to the jet of Subantarctic Front(SAF) and the other is the flow in the Polar Front Zone(PFZ),with a westward flow between them.The mean surface zonal geostrophic current corresponding to the SAF is up to 49 cm · s-1 at 46°S,which is the maximal velocity in the section.The eastward flow in the PFZ has a width of about 4.3 degrees in latitudes.The mean surface zonal geostrophic current corresponding to the Southern Antarctic Circumpolar Current Front(SACCF) is located at 59.7 °S with velocity less than 20 cm · s-1.The location of zonal geostrophic jet corresponding to the SAF is quite stable during the study period.In contrast,the eastward jets in the PFZ exhibit various patterns,i.e.,the primary Polar Front(PF1) shows its strong meridional shift and the secondary Polar Front(PF2) does not always coincide with jet.The surface zonal geostrophic current corresponding to SAF has the significant periods of annual,semi-annual and four-month.The geostrophic current of the PFZ also shows significant periods of semi-annual and four-month,but is out of phase with the periods of the SAF,which results in no notable semi-annual and fourmonth periods in the surface zonal geostrophic current in the core of the ACC.In terms of annual cycle,the mean surface zonal geostrophic current in the core of the ACC shows its maximal velocity in June. 相似文献

This paper presents an assessment of SARAL/AltiKa satellite altimeter for the monitoring of a tropical western boundary current in the south-western Pacific Ocean: the East Caledonian Current. We compare surface geostrophic current estimates obtained from two versions of AltiKa along-track sea level height (AVISO 1 Hz and PEACHI 40 Hz) with two kinds of dedicated in situ datasets harvested along the satellite ground tracks: one deep-ocean current-meter mooring deployed in the core of the boundary current and five glider transects. It is concluded that the AltiKa-derived current successfully captures the velocity of the boundary current, with a standard error of 11 cm/s with respect to the in situ data. It also appears important to reference AltiKa sea level anomaly to the latest mean dynamic topography available in our area. Doing so, Ka-band altimetry provides a satisfactory representation of the western boundary current. Thereby, it usefully contributes to observing its variability in such a remote and under-observed ocean region. However, the rather long repeat period of SARAL (35 days) in comparison to the high frequency variability seen in the flow velocity of the boundary current calls for a combined use of SARAL with the other satellite altimetry missions. 相似文献

The peculiarities of the space-time structures of the currents in the sea appearing after wind forcings that cause upwelling and downwelling are investigated. Numerical modeling using the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) and data analysis were performed for the local area of the Southeastern Baltic adjacent to the Kaliningrad Region (Russia). The geostrophic and ageostrophic velocity components were distinguished to determine the peculiar features of different types of currents. We suggest considering the collinearity coefficient: the scalar product of the geostrophic and ageostrophic velocity vectors. We also considered the local vorticity and turbulent viscosity. Their difference during the upwelling and downwelling was noted. The data of the current velocity simulations and the ADCP measurements at the location of the D-6 oil platform (the Kravtsov oil field) were compared. The modeling adequately reproduces the most energetic geostrophic jet currents and their space-time characteristics. 相似文献

Historical observations of the surface current and daily mean sea level during the period 1965–1985 are analyzed in order to examine the geostrophic balance of the Kuroshio current in the Tokara Strait and near the Izu Islands. The variation in the sea level difference across the Kuroshio is associated with a variation in surface current velocity as predicted by the theory of geostrophic balance. However, the slope of the linear relation between the current velocity and sea level difference is smaller than the theoretically predicted value by about 30%. This disagreement may be ascribed to the effects of the centrifugal force and the occasional rise in sea level due to storm surges.Absolute mean sea level differences between the tidal stations are estimated by making use of the empirical relationship between the surface current and sea level difference. Estimated differences are: 87.4±22.1 cm between Naze and Nishinoomote, 24.3±9.2 cm between Miyake and Minamiizu, 41.3±17.7 cm between Miyake and Mera and 45.1±8.8 cm between Hachijyo and Miyake. The absolute value of sea level difference between Miyake and Minamiizu and that between Miyake and Mera may be about 30 cm, since geodetic levelling tells us that the mean sea level at Minamiizu is nearly equal to that at Mera. 相似文献

Surface velocities determined from trajectory of a drifting buoy from March through November 1987 are compared with surface geostrophic velocities determined from sea surface dynamic topography (SSDT) obtained from altimetry data with the aid of long-term hydrographic observation data. In general, these velocities show similar temporal variations in both zonal and meridional components, except in a period when obvious error is found in the altimetric SSDT field. When the buoy was trapped by several mid-ocean meso-scale eddies, the comparison is especially good. Systematic discrepancy is found, however, when the buoy was in the Kuroshio region, because of using both temporally and spatially smoothed mean SSDT estimated from hydrographic data; instead, surface geostrophic velocities determined from the altimetric SSDT referred to the improved geoid model result in better comparison. 相似文献

Using a parallel-track approach to estimate geostrophic surface velocities, an estimate of the statistics of ocean geostrophic surface currents and momentum stresses is provided on a 10 km along-track resolution from the first 49 repeat cycles (16 months) of the Jason-TOPEX/Poseidon tandem altimetric sea surface height (SSH) data. Results are compared with estimates obtained in a traditional way from along-track SSH data at crossover points and with in situ, Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measurements obtained on board the VOS Oleander along a nominal path connecting Bermuda with the U.S. mainland. Agreements with the Oleander data are reasonable when simultaneous (in space and time) sampling is available. However, amplitudes of parallel-track geostrophic velocity variances are about 25% lower as compared to Oleander measurements which represent geostrophic and ageostrophic flow components. Estimates of velocity variances show clear signs of an anisotropic eddy field in the vicinity of all major current systems. At the same time estimates of Reynolds stresses and eddy momentum fluxes show a convergence of eddy momentum in all those regions, suggesting a forcing of the mean flow by the eddy field there. 相似文献

The sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) and geostrophic circulation in the South ChinaSea (SCS) are studied using TOPEX/POSE1DON (T/P) altimetry data. The SSHA, which is obtained after tidal correction based on the tidal results from T/P data, is predominated by seasonal alternating monsoons. The results reveal that the SSHA in the central part of the SCS is positive in spring and summer, but negative in autumn and winter. It is also found that the SSHA in the SCS can be approached with the sum of tidal constituents SA and SSA. The geostrophic circulations in the SCS are calculated according to sea surface dynamic topography, which is the sum of SSHA and mean sea surface height. It is suggested that the circulation in the upper layer of the SCS is generally cyclonic and notably western intensified during autumn and winter, while the western intensification is weak during spring and summer. It is also indicated that the Kuroshio intrudes into the northeastern SCS throuth the Luzon Strait in winter. But ther 相似文献

风不仅驱动了上层海洋的环流,也是深层海洋运动的主要能量来源。本文主要研究了北太平洋北部的风能输入的季节性分布特征和年际变化趋势,包括风向表面波、表层地转流和表层非地转流的能量输入。基于SODA3数据的结果表明,风能输入门户随季节变化显著,其中黑潮延伸区是冬季门户,副极地流涡是春、秋季门户,大洋东边界则是夏季门户,能量输入强度逐次递减。21世纪以来,秋冬风能输入明显减弱,春季增加,夏季无显著变化。就变化趋势的空间分布而言,向表面波的能量输入由风场主导,而向表层地转流和非地转流的能量输入则由流场主导。这些机械能输入结果对进一步认识该海域的动力机制有重要意义。 相似文献

Uncertainty Reduction of Estimated Geostrophic Volume Transports with Altimeter Observations East of Taiwan 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The common geostrophic estimation of ocean current velocity uses only water temperature and conductivity profiles. The geostrophic
volume transport of a western boundary current, like the Taiwan Current (Kuroshio east of Taiwan), between the coast and its
eastern boundary can be easily estimated based on hydrographic survey data. But the eastern boundary of the Taiwan Current
is very uncertain due to extremely variable hydrographic conditions. This uncertainty is strongly correlated with the propagating
mesoscale eddies originating from the interior of the western North Pacific Ocean. The uncertainty of estimated transport
can be greatly reduced if eddy distribution is considered when determining the integration boundaries with the assistance
of satellite altimeter measurements. Eight hydrographic surveys east of Taiwan between November 1992 and June 1996 are demonstrated
in this study. The average geostrophic transport of the Taiwan Current with a reference set to 1000 dbar at 22°N between the
east coast of Taiwan and 124°E is 22.9 ±14.2 Sv and changes to 22.1 ± 8.3 Sv, the uncertainty of which is nearly halved after
taking account of the eddy distribution. The estimation uncertainty is insensitive to vertical displacements of the reference
level within the depth range between 800 and 2000 dbar.
