南极西北威德尔海上层海洋湍流混合研究     

郭桂军  史久新  矫玉田 《海洋学报(英文版)》2016,35(3):1-9

Turbulent mixing in the upper ocean(30-200 m) of the northwestern Weddell Sea is investigated based on profiles of temperature,salinity and microstructure data obtained during February 2014.Vertical thermohaline structures are distinct due to geographic features and sea ice distribution,resulting in that turbulent dissipation rates(ε) and turbulent diffusivity(K) are vertically and spatially non-uniform.On the shelf north of Antarctic Peninsula and Philip Ridge,with a relatively homogeneous vertical structure of temperature and salinity through the entire water column in the upper 200 m,both ε and K show significantly enhanced values in the order of O(10~(-7))-O(10~(-6)) W/kg and O(10~(-3))-O(10~(-2)) m~2/s respectively,about two or three orders of magnitude higher than those in the open ocean.Mixing intensities tend to be mild due to strong stratification in the Powell Basin and South Orkney Plateau,where s decreases with depth from O(10~(-8)) to O(10~(-9)) W/kg,while K changes vertically in an inverse direction relative to s from O(10~(-6)) to O(10~(-5)) m~2/s.In the marginal ice zone,K is vertically stable with the order of10~(-4) m~2/s although both intense dissipation and strong stratification occur at depth of 50-100 m below a cold freshened mixed layer.Though previous studies indentify wind work and tides as the primary energy sources for turbulent mixing in coastal regions,our results indicate weak relationship between K and wind stress or tidal kinetic energy.Instead,intensified mixing occurs with large bottom roughness,demonstrating that only when internal waves generated by wind and tide impinge on steep topography can the energy dissipate to support mixing.In addition,geostrophic current flowing out of the Weddell Sea through the gap west of Philip Passage is another energy source contributing to the local intense mixing.  相似文献   

Supercooled water in austral summer in Prydz Bay, Antarctica     

史久新  程瑶瑶  矫玉田  侯家强 《中国海洋湖沼学报》2011,29(2):427-437

Supercooled water with temperatures below freezing point,was identified from hydrographic data obtained by Chinese and Australian expeditions to Prydz Bay,Antarctica,during the austral summer.The study shows that most supercooled waters occurred at depths of 63-271 m in the region north of the Amery Ice Shelf(AIS) front.The maximum supercooling was 0.16°C below the in-situ freezing point.In temperature and salinity ranges of-2.14--1.96°C and 34.39-34.46,respectively,the water was colder and fresher than peripheral shelf water.The supercooled water had less variability in the vertical profiles compared to shelf water.Based on analysis of their thermohaline features and spatial distribution,as well as the circulation pattern in Prydz Bay,we conclude that these supercooled waters originated from a cavity beneath the AIS and resulted from upwelling just outside of the AIS front.Water emerging from the ice shelf cools to an extremely low temperature(about-2.0°C) by additional cooling from the ice shelf,and becomes buoyant with the addition of melt water from the ice shelf base.When this water flows out of the ice shelf front,its upper boundary is removed,and thus it rises abruptly.Once the temperature of this water reaches below the freezing point,supercooling takes place.In summer,the seasonal pycnocline at-100 m water depth acts as a barrier to upwelling and supercooling.The upwelling of ice shelf outflow water illuminates a unique mid-depth convection of the polar ocean.  相似文献   

南极普里兹湾邻近海域海冰生消发展特征分析     

郑少军  史久新 《中国海洋大学学报(自然科学版)》2011,(Z2):9-16

利用美国冰雪数据中心发布的2003—2008年高分辨率海冰密集度数据,分6个阶段对普里兹湾区域海冰季节性变化的空间分布特征进行了研究,并根据普里兹湾海区的地形和环流对这些特征的成因进行了分析。结果表明,普里兹湾海冰冻结过程和融化过程分别经历7个月和5个月,海冰融化速度最快月份是10月和11月,主要表现形式为海冰密集度的减少;海冰冻结速度4月和6月最快,海冰外缘线向北扩展。由于普里兹湾近岸达恩利角冰间湖、普里兹湾冰间湖和Barrier湾冰间湖的存在,海冰的融化呈现大洋区由北向南、近岸区由南向北的双向融化特征;而在普里兹湾口、弗拉姆浅滩和四女士浅滩均存在不易融化的冰舌,两者之间的低密集度海冰区,则对应于暖水侵入普里兹湾的通道。南极绕极流在流经凯尔盖朗海台中部时向北偏转,造成此处在盛冰期较其它经度的海冰外缘更靠北,可达57°S。南极辐散带的表层流场和上升暖流抑制海冰冻结和聚集,形成了低海冰密集度区域。  相似文献   

Thermohaline structure inhomogeneity associated with polynia at the northern margin of Emery Ice-shelf     

蒲书箴  葛人峰  董兆乾  于卫东  史久新  项宝强 《极地研究(英文版)》2007,18(1):18-26

Based on the hydrographic data in austral summer during the 22nd Antarctic Expedition of China(2005/2006),some features can be found about the northern margin of Emery ice shelf as follows.The heat content in the surface layer(0-50 m) at the eastern end and the western end of the ice-shelf margin is much higher than that at the middle.The upper mixing-layer depth and the seasonal thermocline depth at the middle of the ice-shelf northern margin are much shallower than those at the both ends.However there is much less difference between the middle and the ends in the bottom layer.The remote sensing photos show that the inhomogeneity in the surface-layer water is closely related to the spatial distribution of the floes and polynia in the area.  相似文献   

Emery冰架北缘热盐结构的不均匀性及其成因   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

根据2005-2006年夏季中国南极第22次南极科学考察的海洋水文资料(64°00′~69°15′S,68°00′~76°00′E),分析了普里兹湾内Emery冰架北缘浮冰区的水团性质。发现Emery冰架东西两端的表层热含量明显高于Emery冰架北缘中部。此外冰架北缘中部海域的上混合层和季节跃层的深度也明显小于东西两端。冰架北缘的底层热盐结构则无明显的东西差异。海洋遥感的证据表明:冰架北缘的表层水的不均匀性与浮冰和冰间湖的空间分布有着密切的联系。  相似文献   

普里兹湾及其邻近海区冰-海相互作用的数值研究 Ⅰ.模式     

史久新  乐肯堂  于康玲 《海洋科学集刊》2000,(42):10-21

南大洋在全球气候系统中起着重要的作用,对世界大洋水团的形成有重要的影响。在世界大洋中,约有55%-60%的海水特性应当归结于南大洋的物理过程。目前,南大洋的研究已得到各国海洋学者的日益关注,进展较大。但是,对于地处印度洋扇形区的普里兹湾海区的观测和研究则相对较少,其结果的差别甚大。例如底层水形成问题,有些研究者认为这一海区的底层水主要来源于威德尔海和罗斯海,本区内对底层水的贡献即使有,也是非常小的(Smith et al.,1984; Mantyla et al.,1995)。而有些研究者则从观测资料中找到了底层水有可能形成的迹象。就目前研究的结果来看,有些年份,如1982年(Middleton et al.,1989),1987年(Woehler et al.,1988),1991年(乐肯堂等,1996)均发现了异常高盐的陆架水,它有可能与深层水混合而形成底层水。对于该海区的环流特别是深层环流迄今为止也是知之甚少。大多数研究是基于动力高度的计算结果( Grigor yev,1967;Smith et al.,1984,1993;Middleton et al.,1989),但他们给出的环流型式相互之间差异很大。这些差异的存在,虽然确有年际变化等因素,但也不能排除研究方法本身的局限。该海区地形复杂(图1),海冰有显著的季节变化和年际变化(Allison et al.,1993,1994),使得该海区的物理海洋状况非常复杂。南极地区由于环境恶劣,海洋观测集中在夏季,并且资料的连续性较差,因而使传统的研究方法受到很大限制。为了充分发挥有限的实测资料的作用,采用合理的动力学和热力学模式并利用数值方法求解模式方程,不失为一种有效的研究途径。迄今为止,这一海区的数值研究还很少,考虑热力学作用的模式则尚未见诸报道。本文将利用最新的资料和模式,并在模式中同时考虑动力学和热力学的作用,用以研究普里兹湾海区的环流与海冰的动力学和热力学过程。以往的研究发现、等密面分析是研究普里兹湾海区混合与环流的有效方法(乐肯堂等,1997),我们将采用国际上新近发展起来的一种基于等密面的数值计算模式,研究普里兹湾海区环流和海冰的季节变化。这一工作将有助于进一步解决该海区南极底层水的形成问题,因而对于深入认识该海区在南大洋环流系统以至全球气候系统中的作用有重要意义。  相似文献

Spatial distribution of Ice Shelf Water in front of the Amery Ice Shelf,Antarctica in summer     

郑少军  史久新  矫玉田  葛人峰 《中国海洋湖沼学报》2011,29(6):1325-1338

As a unique low-temperature water mass in Antarctic coastal region, the Ice Shelf Water (ISW) is an important component for the formation of the Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW). In this paper, we present a criterion for ISW identification based on freezing point at the sea surface, and we study spatial distribution of ISW in front of the Amery Ice Shelf (AIS) and its flow path in Prydz Bay by analyzing hydrographic data from Australian cruises in 2001 and 2002, as well as Chinese cruises in 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2008, all being made in the austral summer. The relatively cold and fresh ISW occurred as several discrete water blocks with cold cores in front of the AIS, within the depth range of 100?600 m, under the seasonal thermocline. ISW had obvious temporal and spatial variations and the spatial distribution pattern changed greatly after 2005. Most of ISW was concentrated west of 73°E during 2001 to 2003 and 2006, but it was widespread to east in 2005 and 2008. In all observation years, a small amount of cold ISW always occurs at the west end of the AIS front section, where the coldest ISW in the whole section also occurred in 2001, 2003 and 2006. Considering general cyclonic circulation pattern under the AIS, the ISW flowing out from west end of the AIS front might have experienced the longest cooling period under ice shelf, so it would have the lowest temperature. Analysis of data from meridian sections in Prydz Bay in 2003 implied that ISW in the west could spread north to the continental break along the east flank of the Fram Bank near 70.5°E, mix with the upwelling Circumpolar Deep Water and possibly contribute to the formation of AABW.  相似文献

夏季北冰洋海冰边缘区海水温盐结构及其形成机理   总被引：20，自引：0，他引：20       下载免费PDF全文

赵进平  史久新  矫玉田 《海洋与湖沼》2003,34(4):375-388

利用1999年北极科学考察期间在海冰边缘区的三次考察数据，研究了北冰洋海冰边缘区的温度和盐度结构。将海冰边缘区分为机制不同的两大类，一类是暖水海冰边缘区，主要热源是外部暖水进入海冰边缘区携带的热量；另一类是冷水海冰边缘区，主要热源是太阳辐射加热。文中主要对冷水海冰边缘区进行了研究。虽然两个冷水海冰边缘区(R区与T区)温度结构不尽相同，但都存在表层以下水体中的温度极大值现象，R区的温度极大值位于20m左右，T区的位于40—50m左右的深度，可以认为是海冰边缘区的典型温度特征。作者认为，次表层暖水的热源是太阳辐射的直接加热，为此，建立了太阳加热引起海水次表层增暖的物理模型和简单的数学模型，获得了冰下海水在太阳辐射的作用下增暖的解析解。结果表明，部分太阳辐射能穿过海冰加热冰下海水，加热之初温度的极大值出现在近表层，随着时间的推移，海温极大值的位置向下移动，最终可以达到40m左右，证明了仅仅依靠太阳的短波辐射就可以形成中间暖的水层。文中阐明，开阔海水更多的是上混合层和跃层结构，冰下海水主要是次表层暖水结构；冷水海冰边缘区的海水主要带有冰下海水的特征。由于次表层暖水的形成与海冰厚度关系很大，近十几年北冰洋海冰厚度的显著减少势必加强次表层暖水，可能是北冰洋增暖的又一个重要现象，对全球气候变化有意义深远的影响。  相似文献
