Intermediate Waters in the East/Japan Sea 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
Properties of the intermediate layer in the East/Japan Sea are examined by using CREAMS data taken mainly in summer of 1995.
Vertical profiles of potential temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen and relationships between these physical and chemical
properties show that the dissolved oxygen concentration of 250 μmol/l, roughly corresponding to 0.6°C at the depth of about
400 db, makes a boundary between intermediate and deep waters. Water colder than 0.6°C has a very stable relationship between
potential temperature and salinity while salinity of the water warmer than 0.6°C is lower in the western Japan Basin than
that in the eastern Japan Basin. The low salinity water with high oxygen corresponds to the East Sea Intermediate Water (ESIW;
<34.06 psu, >250 μmol/l and >1.0°C) which was previously identified by Kim and Chung (1984) and the high salinity water with
high oxygen found in eastern Japan Basin is named as the High Salinity Intermediate Water (HSIW; >34.07 psu, >250 μmol/l and
>0.6°C). Spatial distribution of salinity and acceleration potential on the surface of σϑ = 27.2 kg/m3 shows that the ESIW prevailing in the western Japan Basin is transported eastward by a zonal flow along the polar front near
40°N and a cyclonic gyre in the eastern Japan Basin is closely related to the HSIW.

Seasonal Variation of Submesoscale Flow Features in a Mesoscale Eddy-dominant Region in the East Sea
Seasonal changes in the distribution of submesoscale (SM) flow features were examined using a fine-resolution numerical simulation. The SM flows are expected to be strong where mesoscale (MS) eddies actively develop and also when the mixed layer depth (MLD) is deep due to enhanced baroclinic instability. In the East Sea (ES), MS eddies more actively develop in summer while the MLD is deeper in winter, which provided the motivation to conduct this study to test the effects of MLD and MS eddies on the SM activity in this region. Finite-scale Liapunov exponents and the vertical velocity components were employed to analyze the SM activities. It was found that the SM intensity was marked by seasonality: it is stronger in winter when the mixed layer is deep but weaker in summer - despite the greater eddy kinetic energy. This is because in summer the mixed layer is so thin that there is not enough available potential energy. When the SM activity was quantified based on parameterization, (MLD × density gradient), it was determined that the seasonal variation of MLD plays a more important role than the lateral density gradient variation on SM flow motion in the ES. 相似文献

Idealized numerical experiments with a depth level coordinate ocean circulation model (GFDL MOM3) have been conducted to investigate
the structure of interdecadal variability from thermally driven circulations. The model oceans are driven by steady surface
heat fluxes in the absence of surface wind stresses. Interdecadal variability is observed, with characteristics similar to
those reported in many previous studies. To explain the nature of the variability we propose a new mechanism based on two
local horizontal advective processes. This overcomes the limitations in previous theories based on the interplay between global
properties such as zonal and meridional temperature gradients and overturning. One of the two advective processes is a zonal
flow anomaly induced by a temperature anomaly along the northern wall through geostrophy southward of the temperature anomaly.
A cold (warm) anomaly along the northern wall produces a positive (negative) zonal flow anomaly that induces a warm (cold)
temperature anomaly by enhancing (weakening) warm advection from the western boundary along the path of the zonal flow anomaly.
The temperature and flow anomalies are transported toward the eastern boundary by the mean eastward zonal flow. When the positive
(negative) zonal flow anomaly that accompanies the warm (cold) temperature anomaly encounters the eastern wall, a downwelling
(upwelling) anomaly is produced. To dissipate the vorticity due to this downwelling (upwelling) anomaly, a northward (southward)
flow anomaly, which is another advective process governing the variability, is generated within a frictional boundary layer
next to the eastern wall. The northward (southward) flow anomaly circulates cyclonically along the perimeter of the basin
while enhancing (reducing) warm advection. So does the warm (cold) temperature anomaly carried to the eastern wall by the
mean zonal flow while pushing the cold (warm) anomaly that produced the positive (negative) zonal flow anomaly westward and
initiating the other half cycle of the variability. During the anomalous downwelling or upwelling, the available potential
energy stored in the anomalous density field is released to maintain the variability. Thus, neither barotropic nor baroclinic
instability supplies energy for the variability. The anomalous vertical velocity is stronger along the northern boundary and
the northern part of the eastern boundary. A shallow continental slope added along those boundaries prohibits the anomalous
vertical motion and weakens variability very effectively, while one along the western boundary does not. 相似文献

Satellite-based atmospheric CO2 observations have provided a great opportunity to improve our understanding of the global carbon cycle. However, thermal infrared (TIR)-based satellite observations, which are useful for the investigation of vertical distribution and the transport of CO2, have not yet been studied as much as the column amount products derived from shortwave infrared data. In this study, TIR-based satellite CO2 products – from Atmospheric Infrared Sounder, Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES), and Thermal And Near infrared Sensor for carbon Observation – and carbon tracker mole fraction data were compared with in situ Comprehensive Observation Network for Trace gases by AIrLiner (CONTRAIL) data for different locations. The TES CO2 product showed the best agreement with CONTRAIL CO2 data resulting in R2 ~ 0.87 and root-mean-square error ~0.9. The vertical distribution of CO2 derived by TES strongly depends on the geophysical characteristics of an area. Two different climate regions (i.e., southeastern Japan and southeastern Australia) were examined in terms of the vertical distribution and transport of CO2. Results show that while vertical distribution of CO2 around southeastern Japan was mainly controlled by horizontal and vertical winds, horizontal wind might be a major factor to control the CO2 transport around southeastern Australia. In addition, the vertical transport of CO2 also varies by region, which is mainly controlled by anthropogenic CO2, and horizontal and omega winds. This study improves our understanding of vertical distribution and the transport of CO2, both of which vary by region, using TIR-based satellite CO2 observations and meteorological variables. 相似文献

Water masses in the East Sea are newly defined based upon vertical structure and analysis of CTD data collected in 1993–1999 during Circulation Research of the East Asian Marginal Seas (CREAMS). A distinct salinity minimum layer was found at 1500 m for the first time in the East Sea, which divides the East Sea Central Water (ESCW) above the minimum layer and the East Sea Deep Water (ESDW) below the minimum layer. ESCW is characterized by a tight temperature–salinity relationship in the temperature range of 0.6–0.12 °C, occupying 400–1500 m. It is also high in dissolved oxygen, which has been increasing since 1969, unlike the decrease in the ESDW and East Sea Bottom Water (ESBW). In the eastern Japan Basin a new water with high salinity in the temperature range of 1–5 °C was found in the upper layer and named the High Salinity Intermediate Water (HSIW). The origin of the East Sea Intermediate Water (ESIW), whose characteristics were found near the Korea Strait in the southwestern part of the East Sea in 1981 [Kim, K., & Chung, J. Y. (1984) On the salinity-minimum and dissolved oxygen-maximum layer in the East Sea (Sea of Japan), In T. Ichiye (Ed.), Ocean Hydrodynamics of the Japan and East China Seas (pp. 55–65). Amsterdam: Elsevier Science Publishers], is traced by its low salinity and high dissolved oxygen in the western Japan Basin. CTD data collected in winters of 1995–1999 confirmed that the HSIW and ESIW are formed locally in the Eastern and Western Japan Basin. CREAMS CTD data reveal that overall structure and characteristics of water masses in the East Sea are as complicated as those of the open oceans, where minute variations of salinity in deep waters are carefully magnified to the limit of CTD resolution. Since the 1960s water mass characteristics in the East Sea have changed, as bottom water formation has stopped or slowed down and production of the ESCW has increased recently. 相似文献

This modeling study investigates the impacts of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration on acidification in the East Sea. A historical simulation for the past three decades (1980 to 2010) was performed using the Hadley Centre Global Environmental Model (version 2), a coupled climate model with atmospheric, terrestrial and ocean cycles. As the atmospheric CO2 concentration increased, acidification progressed in the surface waters of the marginal sea. The acidification was similar in magnitude to observations and models of acidification in the global ocean. However, in the global ocean, the acidification appears to be due to increased in-situ oceanic CO2 uptake, whereas local processes had stronger effects in the East Sea. pH was lowered by surface warming and by the influx of water with higher dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) from the northwestern Pacific. Due to the enhanced advection of DIC, the partial pressure of CO2 increased faster than in the overlying air; consequently, the in-situ oceanic uptake of CO2 decreased. 相似文献
