Roles of horizontal processes in the formation of the density stratification in Hiuchi-Nada are investigated by means of a
two-dimensional numerical model. In Hiuchi-Nada, vertically mixed and stratified regions are formed due to the regional difference
of the tidal currents, and a tidal front is formed between the two regions. The horizontal mixing across the tidal front suppresses
the development of the stratification, which is developed too much in the absence of the horizontal mixing. The moderate,
realistic stratification cannot be realized in the model without the horizontal mixing. Density currents are formed due to
the density distribution associated with the mixed and stratified states. These currents contribute to the horizontal mixing
through the shear effect. Horizontal heat transfer from the outside water generates the vertical circulation and causes the
stratification. This effect dominantly appears at the early and late stages of the stratified season. The stratification is
initiated before the beginning of the surface heating and persists beyond the end, due to the horizontal heat transfer. 相似文献

Kyucho is a sudden and swift current which is usually accompanied by rise of water temperature. Several features of the Kyucho in the Bungo Channel, Japan, are presented through field observations. The Kyucho in the Bungo Channel is an intrusion of warm water from the Pacific Ocean into the eastern half of the Bungo Channel, being driven gravitationally and advancing along the eastern coast of the channel. The Kyucho occurs usually in summer and seldom occurs in winter. It occurs at neap tides showing the prominent spring-neap periodicity. The modulation of the vertical mixing intensity associated with the variations of tidal current, wind and surface heating etc. is supposed to be a main cause of springneap and seasonal periodicities. 相似文献

Five typical water volumes in the Seto Inland Sea are defined, and their average residence times, remnant functions, and residence time distribution functions are obtained, mainly from results of hydraulic model experiments; the average residence times and the functions well describe characteristics of exchange and transport of materials in the sea. A representative residence time, which is the average residence time of the total water in the inland sea, is about 15 months. 相似文献

We conducted an in situ feeding experiment using 13C-labeled unicellular algae in Sagami Bay, Japan (water depth, 1450 m), in order to understand the fate of lipid compounds in phytodetritus at the deep-sea floor. We examined the incorporation of excess 13C into lipid compounds extracted from bulk sediments and benthic foraminiferal cells. 13C-enriched fatty acids derived from 13C-labeled algae were exponentially degraded during 6 days of incubation in the sediment. Subsequent enrichments in 13C in sedimentary n-C15, anteiso-C17, and C17 fatty acids indicated the microbial degradation of algal material and production of bacterial biomass in the sediment. We observed the incorporation of 13C-labeled algal phytol and fatty acids into foraminiferal cells. The compositions of 13C-labeled algal lipids in foraminiferal cells were different from those in the bulk sediments, indicating that foraminiferal feeding and digestion influenced the lipid distribution in the sediments. Furthermore, some sterols in Globobulimina affinis (e.g., 24-ethylcholesta-5,22-dien-3β-ol, 24-ethylcholest-5-en-3β-ol, and 23,24-dimethylcholesta-5,22E-dien-3β-ol) were newly produced via the modification of dietary algal sterols within 4–6 days. In addition to the effects of bacteria, feeding by benthic foraminifera can result in a significant reorganization of the composition of organic matter and influence benthic food webs and carbon cycling at the deep-sea floor. 相似文献

Late Quaternary uplift rate of the northeastern Japan arc inferred from fluvial terraces 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Glacial Lake Wisconsin was a large proglacial lake that formed along the southern margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the Wisconsin glaciation. It was formed when ice of the Green Bay Lobe came into contact with the Baraboo Hills in southwestern Wisconsin and blocked the south-flowing Wisconsin River. During early glacial recession, the ice dam failed catastrophically and the lake drained in about a week. Despite early recognition of the former lake and the likelihood that it failed catastrophically, outflow rates during the failure have not been previously evaluated. Estimates based on step-backwater modeling indicate that peak discharge was between 3.6 and 5.3 × 104 m3/s in the lower Wisconsin River. As an alternate method, we used a previously derived empirical relationship between lake volume and peak discharge for dam-break events. From a digital elevation model altered to incorporate isostatic depression, we estimated the lake volume to be 87 km3 just prior to dam breach, suggesting that the flooding magnitude was as high as 1.5 × 105 m3/s at the outlet. Adjusting these results for downstream flood wave attenuation gives a discharge of around 4.4 × 104 m3/s in the lower reach, which closely matches the results of the step-backwater modeling. These estimates of discharge from the catastrophic failure of ice-marginal lakes improve our understanding of the processes that have produced the morphology and behavior of present-day upper Midwest river systems. 相似文献

In order to examine seasonal variation in a coastal current and the dynamics of the current, we carried out a mooring current
measurement near the coast on the eastern shelf of Hidaka Bay from December 2002 to July 2003. There seemed to be two current
regimes during the observed period; one a southeastward current from December to March, and the other a northwestward current
after April. Arrested topographic wave dynamics was used to understand along-shore steady momentum balance at the mooring
site. It was found that the friction term was negligible during the former regime, that is, the wind stress term roughly counterbalanced
the pressure gradient term. On the other hand, the contribution of each term to the momentum balance was sensitive to the
resistance coefficient value during the latter regime. A numerical study showed that wind forcing alone could not reproduce
the observed current velocity and momentum balance during the former regime. One possible interpretation of the observed results
is superposition of the arrested topographic waves forced by the along-shore wind stress and downstream extension of the Coastal
Oyashio. Numerical experiments using combined forcing of the wind stress and an inflow associated with the Coastal Oyashio
supported the expected dynamics. 相似文献

The phenomenon of rapid increase in water temperature accompanied by a sudden, swift current (Kyucho) in Uwajima Bay is described on the basis of results of long term observations from July 1985 to September 1986. This phenomenon occurs somewhat periodically with an interval of about 15 days in summer, although it does not occur in winter. The increase in water temperature occasionally reaches about 5°C. This phenomenon results from the intrusion of a warm water mass into the bay. NOAA-9 satellite images show that the warm water mass originates from the Pacific Ocean south of the Bungo Channel. 相似文献

Distribution of the anoxic water mass in the eastern part of Hiuchi-Nada was investigated from 1981 to 1983. A cold water mass was found on the bottom of the area concerned in summer, and a second (i.e. lower) thermocline appeared just above the cold water mass. The anoxic water was observed below a second thermocline. The horizontal distribution of the cold water mass coincided with that of the anoxic water mass, and also with a region of high concentration of organic matter in the sediment. These results suggest two important effects of the second thermocline on the generation of the anoxic water mass. Firstly, it prevents supply of dissolved oxygen from the upper to bottom layer of the water column. Secondly, it accelerates settling of particulate material resulting in a large accumulation of organic matter in the bottom water and the sediment which leads to an increase in the rate of oxygen consumption. The net oxygen consumption rate in the bottom layer in this sea was much smaller than that in Mikawa Bay where anoxia occurs at almost the same level as in Hiuchi-Nada. This finding also suggests the important role of the second thermocline. 相似文献

Field observations were conducted to examine the processes governing the phytoplankton distribution and photosynthetic activity in and around a tidal front formed in Iyo Nada, the Seto Inland Sea, Japan. The existence of a middle layer intrusion, which, it has been suggested, moves from the mixed region to the stratified region of the tidal front, was ascertained by the phytoplankton distribution in addition to a T-S diagram. Skeletonema costatum, which originally inhabited the mixed region, was used as the indicator to reveal the intrusion. However, the tip of water containing the S. costatum population did not extend deeply into the stratified region. The velocity of the intrusion seemed to be slow enough to make biological processes, such as nutrient uptake by phytoplankton and subsequent growth, as well as the decrease in cell density due to zooplankton grazing, dominate during the transportation. The patchy distribution of copepod nauplii implied that grazing has an influence on the distribution pattern of phytoplankton. The location of high photosynthetic activity did not coincide spatially with the center of high phytoplankton biomass, suggesting the importance of these biological processes. Therefore, it is considered that the middle layer intrusion plays a role as an inducer of subsequent biological processes at the tidal front by not only supplying nutrients from the mixed region but also by increasing the vertical diffusivity. 相似文献
