In order to compare and evaluate the performances of the Laplacian viscosity closure, the biharmonic viscosity closure, and the Leith closure momentum schemes in the MPAS-Ocean model, a variety of physical quantities, such as the relative reference potential energy(RPE) change, the RPE time change rate(RPETCR), the grid Reynolds number, the root mean square(RMS) of kinetic energy, and the spectra of kinetic energy and enstrophy, are calculated on the basis of results of a 3D baroclinic periodic channel. Results indicate that: 1) The RPETCR demonstrates a saturation phenomenon in baroclinic eddy tests. The critical grid Reynolds number corresponding to RPETCR saturation differs between the three closures: the largest value is in the biharmonic viscosity closure, followed by that in the Laplacian viscosity closure, and that in the Leith closure is the smallest. 2) All three closures can effectively suppress spurious dianeutral mixing by reducing the grid Reynolds number under sub-saturation conditions of the RPETCR, but they can also damage certain physical processes. Generally, the damage to the rotation process is greater than that to the advection process. 3) The dissipation in the biharmonic viscosity closure is strongly dependent on scales. Most dissipation concentrates on small scales, and the energy of small-scale eddies is often transferred to large-scale kinetic energy. The viscous dissipation in the Laplacian viscosity closure is the strongest on various scales, followed by that in the Leith closure. Note that part of the small-scale kinetic energy is also transferred to large-scale kinetic energy in the Leith closure. 4) The characteristic length scale L and the dimensionless parameter Г in the Leith closure are inherently coupled. The RPETCR is inversely proportional to the product of Г and L. When the product of Г and L is constant, both the simulated RPETCR and the inhibition of spurious dianeutral mixing are the same in all tests using the Leith closure. The dissipative scale in the Leith closure depends on the parameter L, and the dissipative intensity depends on the parameter Г. 5) Although optimal results may not be achieved by using the optimal parameters obtained from the 2D barotropic model in the 3D baroclinic simulation, the total energies are dissipative in all three closures. Dissipation is the strongest in the biharmonic viscosity closure, followed by that in the Leith closure, and that in the Laplacian viscosity closure is the weakest. Mesoscale eddies develop the fastest in the biharmonic viscosity closure after the baroclinic adjustment process finishes, and the kinetic energy reaches its maximum, which is attributed to the smallest dissipation of enstrophy in the biharmonic viscosity closure. Mesoscale eddies develop the slowest, and the kinetic energy peak value is the smallest in the Laplacian viscosity closure. Results in the Leith closure are between that in the biharmonic viscosity closure and the Laplacian viscosity closure.  相似文献

本文利用20年的卫星高度计资料,对黑潮延伸体邻近海区(25°—45°N,135°E—175°W)中尺度涡的统计特征以及季节变化进行了统计研究。基于涡旋自动识别方法,共识别出本区域3006个气旋涡轨迹和2887个反气旋涡轨迹,其平均周期分别为9.99周和11.00周,平均半径分别为69.5km和71.8km。长生命周期涡旋的平均半径、涡度、涡动能(EKE)和涡旋能量密度(EI)在生命周期内大致都经历了增大-基本保持不变-减小这三个阶段。绝大多数涡旋沿纬线向西移动,经向移动距离较小,气旋涡和反气旋涡在西向传播过程中都具有明显的向南(赤道)偏离趋势。涡旋的生成数量与总数量均在春夏季达到最多,且这一时期涡旋的平均涡度、EKE、EI处于较高水平。  相似文献

本文利用World Ocean Atlas 2013（WOA2013）气候态的温盐资料和the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation （SODA v3.3.1）流场数据,分析印尼贯穿流东部源区马鲁古海和哈马黑拉海的水团垂向分布特征及其来源,特别是次表层、中层及深层水的来源和路径。结果表明,气候态下,马鲁古海次表层的高温高盐水来自于北太平洋,与北太平洋热带水性质接近,哈马黑拉海次表层主要是来自南太平洋热带水;中层水以低温低盐为特征,马鲁古海的中层水来自南太平洋,受南极中层水控制,哈马黑拉海的中层水可能是从马鲁古海而来的南太平洋水;对于次表层和中层之间的过渡层,马鲁古海与哈马黑拉海的水源为南、北太平洋的混合水,且两个海域之间也存在着水团交换;在深层,马鲁古海的水源更倾向于班达海北部及塞兰海,而与太平洋水无关,哈马黑拉海由于地形阻挡也难以与太平洋直接发生水团交换。  相似文献

针对南海海域海流环境复杂、中层实测数据量少的现状,本文基于2006-2016年布放在南海海域的114个Argo剖面浮标的卫星定位等信息,采用基于背景流和惯性流外推的最小二乘方法,获取南海海域1 200 m深中层流场信息,并采用Divand变分插值的方法形成网格化季节流场。结果表明:（1）针对南海中层（1 200 m）流场,单个Argo浮标可以刻画出具体的中尺度结构,如越南沿岸的反气旋涡,半径约为120 km,最大流速约为9.6 cm/s,平均流速为5.3 cm/s;（2） Argo网格化流场表明海盆尺度中层流场南海南部为反气旋环流结构,北部为气旋式环流,同时在吕宋海峡口存在从南海至太平洋的水体交换;（3）将该流场信息与HYCOM和YoMaHa'07两种资料对比,吻合度较高,与HYCOM再分析资料的偏差分布趋近于正态分布,海流的东西向分量的均方根误差为3.28 cm/s,南北向分量的均方根误差为3.26 cm/s。总体而言,利用Argo轨迹资料能够有效地反演出南海地区海盆尺度的中层环流特征。  相似文献

The daily and monthly-mean characteristics of cold water patches(CWPs) off the Jiangsu coast in 35 a of1982–2016 are examined based on advanced very high resolution radiometer(AVHRR) data. Most of the CWPs are found to occur in the warm and hot months(May–September), with some CWPs in the cool and cold months(October–April). The average radius and intensity of the monthly-mean CWPs are about 81 km and 0.6°C,respectively. The average difference in the sea surface temperature(SST) between the centers of the CWPs and the nearshore is about 2.0°C. The correlation analysis between the CWPs, winds and tides indicates that most of the CWPs occurred during the southerly winds, with some CWPs occurring during the northerly winds. The average intensity of the CWPs during spring tides is slightly stronger than that during neap tides in the warm and hot months, and the difference is very small in the cool and cold months.  相似文献

Chinese Gaofen-3(GF-3) is the first civilian satellite to carry C-band(5.3 GHz) synthetic aperture radar(SAR).During the period of August 2016 to December 2017, 1 523 GF-3 SAR images acquired in quad-polarization(vertical-vertical(VV), horizontal-horizontal(HH), vertical-horizontal(VH), and horizontal-vertical(HV)) mode were recorded, mostly around China's seas. In our previous study, the root mean square error(RMSE) of significant wave height(SWH) was found to be around 0.58 m when compared with retrieval results from a few GF-3 SAR images in co-polarization(VV and HH) with moored measurements by using an empirical algorithm CSAR_WAVE. We collected a number of sub-scenes from these 1 523 images in the co-polarization channel,which were collocated with wind and SWH data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts(ECMWF) reanalysis field at a 0.125° grid. Through the collected dataset, an improved empirical wave retrieval algorithm for GF-3 SAR in co-polarization was tuned, herein denoted as CSAR_WAVE2. An additional 92 GF-3 SAR images were implemented in order to validate CSAR_WAVE2 against SWH from altimeter Jason-2, showing an about 0.52 m RMSE of SWH for co-polarization GF-3 SAR. Therefore, we conclude that the proposed empirical algorithm has a good performance for wave retrieval from GF-3 SAR images in co-polarization.  相似文献

本文将Bayes算法应用到Abel积分方程中,利用End-to-End Generic Occultation Performance Simulation and Processing System(EGOPS)软件仿真出的弯角数据来反演大气折射指数,并与Tikhonov正则化的反演结果进行对比.当直接利用仿真所得的弯角数据(认为它是不含误差的)时,Bayes算法与Tikhonov正则化的反演结果具有很好的一致性,二者的均方根误差均为2.5470×10~(-8);但在实际观测过程中,由于电离层以及水汽等方面的影响,所得到的弯角数据不可避免地会含有误差,可能产生高频成分,甚至存在间断的现象,因此我们在仿真的弯角数据中加入了满足高斯型分布的随机噪声,然后进行折射指数的反演试验.结果表明,相比于Tikhonov正则化技术,Bayes算法具有更高的反演精度.  相似文献   

Study and application of an improved four-dimensional variational assimilation system based on the physical-space statistical analysis for the South China Sea

The four-dimensional variational assimilation (4D-Var) has been widely used in meteorological and oceanographic data assimilation. This method is usually implemented in the model space, known as primal approach (P4D-Var). Alternatively, physical space analysis system (4D-PSAS) is proposed to reduce the computation cost, in which the 4D-Var problem is solved in physical space (i.e., observation space). In this study, the conjugate gradient (CG) algorithm, implemented in the 4D-PSAS system is evaluated and it is found that the non-monotonic change of the gradient norm of 4D-PSAS cost function causes artificial oscillations of cost function in the iteration process. The reason of non-monotonic variation of gradient norm in 4D-PSAS is then analyzed. In order to overcome the non-monotonic variation of gradient norm, a new algorithm, Minimum Residual (MINRES) algorithm, is implemented in the process of assimilation iteration in this study. Our experimental results show that the improved 4D-PSAS with the MINRES algorithm guarantees the monotonic reduction of gradient norm of cost function, greatly improves the convergence properties of 4D-PSAS as well, and significantly restrains the numerical noises associated with the traditional 4D-PSAS system.  相似文献

本文使用西北太平洋累积气旋能量(ACE)月尺度异常序列,对850 hPa相对涡度、地表纬向风、柱水汽含量、OLR、降水和SST等大尺度环境场变量进行时滞回归分析,讨论了月尺度TC活动对大尺度环境场的影响及其与周尺度的区别和联系.结果表明:(1)月尺度ACE回归出的纬向风无论是强度还是范围都要明显大于周尺度ACE回归结果,TC的频繁发生,尤其是强度大且持续时间长的近赤道TC,对于激发或加强TC活动区域南侧的低纬地区西风异常有一定的积极作用,持续并且强度较大的西风异常可能导致西风的爆发,而西风爆发会在很大程度上影响ENSO事件的发生和演变.(2)在月尺度上,OLR、柱水汽含量、降水和SST等物理量均呈现出较为明显的E1Nino型分布,而在周尺度上,仅SST呈现出明显的El Nino型分布,这在一定程度上反映了月尺度TC活动和太平洋ENSO信号之间存在更密切的关联.(3)在TC发生后1-2月,TC的主要生成区域柱水汽含量减少、OLR增大,这会在一定程度上降低该区域生成TC的潜能.虽然TC所引起SST降低的空间尺度很小,但其通过大气和海洋的传导会扩大到更大尺度上,由于这种反馈具有一定的滞后性,所以月尺度TC对大尺度环境场影响的信号更为显著.  相似文献
