Interannual variations of the Hawaiian Lee Countercurrent (HLCC) in the 2000s were investigated using satellite and Argo profiling
float observations. The satellite-observed sea surface height shows that the geostrophic eastward current was anomalously
strong to the west away from Hawaii in 2003 and 2005. However, the trade winds and the orographic wind curl dipole in the
lee of Hawaii that drives the climatological mean HLCC were not particularly strong in these years, suggesting that the accelerations
of the HLCC were not caused by the wind stress curl forcing around Hawaii and subsequent Rossby wave propagation. Using Argo
observations, we found negative potential vorticity (PV) anomalies in the subsurface north of the HLCC in these 2 years. The
pycnocline is lifted northward as low PV waters of different densities stack up in the vertical, and the HLCC is then accelerated
via the thermal wind. The intensification and/or southward intrusion of the eastern subtropical mode water and subtropical
mode water seem to have induced negative PV anomalies in 2003 and 2005, respectively. Using high-resolution ocean simulations,
we confirmed the migrations of PV anomalies and their contributions to the HLCC accelerations. Although the HLCC is located
away from the cores of major mode waters, our results suggest that interannual variations of the HLCC are affected by those
of mode waters. 相似文献

The October 23, 2004, Mid-Niigata Earthquake jolted central Japan, causing serious damage in a mountainous region of Pliocene sedimentary rocks. Though aftershocks distribution showed a diffused pattern, it indicated that a blind-thrust fault having a NE–SW strike and inclined towards NW was the most causative. Tectonic deformation caused by this faulting was considered to be one of the causes of flooding that occurred about 8 months after the earthquake. Precise digital elevation models (DEMs) before and after the earthquake were obtained with stereoscopy for aerial photographs and laser imaging detection and ranging technology (LIDAR), respectively, and then compared to detect elevation changes and translations. Lastly, the changes of landforms due to landslides are excluded from the estimated deformations to obtain only the components of tectonic deformations of the ground surface. 相似文献

Dynamics of fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) in ocean environments has received attention over the past few decades. Although it has appeared that in situ production of oceanic FDOM is mainly due to bacteria, the production and bio- and photodegradation processes of bacterial FDOM have not been elucidated. In this study, a culture experiment with bacteria was carried out to assess the production and biodegradation processes of bacterial FDOM. Photodegradation of bacterial FDOM and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was also examined by exposure to a solar simulator. Bacterial FDOM consists of six components which were determined by parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC). Fluorescence intensities of protein-like FDOM increased with the bacterial biomass, but the increases of humic-like FDOM lagged behind the protein-like FDOM by 5–10 days. Exposure to simulated sunlight caused significant decreases in fluorescence intensities of all components; 52–94% of the initial intensities were lost during 24 h. While, the DOC concentration exhibited a small decrease through the experiment (1.9–11.1%). These results showed that photodegradability of bacteria derived DOC was much less than the fluorescence, indicating that the lifetime of bacteria-derived DOC is much longer than the length estimated by the fluorescence. The role of photobleached FDOM derived from bacteria may be significant in the biogeochemical cycle at the surface layer. 相似文献

In this paper, we propose a numerical simulation procedure of moored ship motions due to initial attack of large-scaled tsunamis and investigate the effects on the motions and mooring loads. The effect of methodology on selection of tsunami wave components and of the drag forces are then considered by using the numerical simulation method, applying to several case studies for LNG-carrier. Large ship motions and excessive mooring loads beyond the safe working loads are induced by the resonant tsunami wave components in the sway and surge motions and drag forces. 相似文献

A global data set describing the gridded mixed-layer depth (MLD) in 10-day intervals was produced using high-quality Argo
float data from 2001 to 2009. The characteristics and advantages provided by the new MLD data set are described here, including
a comparison based on two different thresholds and using data sets of different vertical and temporal resolution. The MLD
in the data set was estimated on the basis of a shallower depth of the iso-thermal layer (TLD) or iso-pycnal layer (PLD),
calculated using the finite difference method. The MLD data are incorporated into 2° × 2° grid in the global ocean, including
marginal seas. Also, two threshold values were used to examine differences in the MLD and its seasonal temporal variability.
The characteristics and advantages of using the Argo 10-day intervals to determine the MLD were then confirmed by comparing
those data with the station buoy daily means and the Argo monthly means. With respect to vertical and temporal resolutions,
the Argo 10-day data has two distinct advantages: (1) improved representation of the MLD vertical change due to high vertical
resolution, especially during periods of large MLD variability and (2) more detailed representation of the temporal change
in MLD than achieved with the Argo monthly mean data, especially from winter to spring in mid and high latitudes. These advantages
were maintained in the case of a larger threshold despite the fact that the MLD is rather deep and the detailed variation
in its distribution differs depending on the season and location. This study also investigated the relative influence of TLD
and PLD to the MLD calculation for each grid. Generally, the MLD is primarily determined based on the PLD at low and mid latitudes
(TLD > PLD), whereas the TLD is more important at high latitudes, especially in winter (TLD < PLD). In the case of a larger
threshold, the area of the larger PLD influence spreads polewards because of the greater effect of salinity in winter. Although
there are some differences in the effect of temperature and salinity in estimations of the MLD, both are indispensable factors
for the MLD estimations even at different thresholds. 相似文献

Global surface layer salinity change detected by Argo and its implication for hydrological cycle intensification 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

We investigated changes in the global distribution of surface-layer salinity by comparing 2003–2007 Argo-float data with annual
mean climatological surface-layer salinity data for 1960–1989 from the World Ocean Database 2005. The two datasets showed
similar patterns, with low values in subpolar and tropical regions and higher values in the subtropics. The recent Argo data
indicate that the contrast between low and high salinity has intensified in all areas except the subpolar North Atlantic.
The intensified contrast of the surface layer salinity was maintaining for 2003–2007. Using a simple method, we attempted
to estimate evaporation and precipitation changes on the basis of surface-layer salinity changes. The results show a high
probability that the global hydrological cycle has increased in the past 30 years. 相似文献

Stability constants were determined for60Co (II)-amino acid complexes in sodium perchlorate media at an ionic strength=0.67, using cation exchange resins. Stability constants were, for Co(II)-phenylalanine, log
1=4.4, log
2=8.2, log
3=11.7, for Co(II)-histidine, log
1=7.4. for Co(II)-valine, log
1=4.3, log
2=8.5, for Co(II)-proline, log
1=4.1, and for Co(II)-tyrosine, log
1=7.2, respectively. The abundance of Co(II)-amino acid complexes in seawater was calculated from these stability constants on the basis of chemical equilibrium, assuming the concentration of individual amino acid to be 10–7 to 10–8 mol l–1. It was inferred that the Co(II)-amino acid complexes are probably not formed abundantly in seawater while inorganic species of60Co(II) may still be dominant for a short period of time after discharge into seawater as liquid waste. 相似文献

Automatic pickings in earthquake real-time monitoring systems often contain noise bursts and/or phases of different event(s)
occurring almost simultaneously. Typically, a locator uses these picks as P and S waves arrival times coming from a single
event and, therefore, should be complemented by a distinctive phase association logic. The method we propose manages to automatically
associate data related to different events and eliminates the influence of spoiled data from single events. The method is
based on “network beamforming”, a robust and stable algorithm, which utilizes a hypocenter grid search for the stack maximum
of a set of complex exponents applied to the P phase readings. The algorithm separates the residual outliers and then uses
them for location. If successful, a hypocenter is established for the interfering event. The solutions obtained are overall
robust and independent from the estimate of origin times. The preliminary epicenter for the grid search is provided by the
intersection of perpendicular bisectors in the modified “arrival order algorithm” or by the modified “Tnow” algorithm, which uses non-arrival information. We applied this method to automatic first arrival phase readings of 915 events
registered by the Hi-net Japan seismic network and our results are statistically promising. Here, we present two interesting
and complicated examples. 相似文献
