长江河口盐水入侵锋研究   总被引：14，自引：4，他引：14  

茅志昌 《海洋与湖沼》1995,26(6):643-649

根据１９５９－１９８８年部分年份长江口南港南槽、南港－北槽－北港和北支共２２个纵向测次资料，计算分析各入海通道向盐水入侵锋的伸退区域及其特征。利用密度佛氏数Ｆ＇ｘ的计算结果，提出确定盐度锋迁移范围和滞流点的判据。研究结果表明，盐度锋对河口量大浑浊带主要有两大贡献：锋区含盐有利于泥沙絮凝；锋面附近形成的重力环流，有利于泥沙富集，形成最大浑浊带。  相似文献

Relationships between air mass properties and mesoscale rainfall in New Zealand's Southern Alps     

D. S. Wratt  M. J. Revell  M. R. Sinclair  W. R. Gray  R. D. Henderson  A. M. Chater 《Atmospheric Research》2000,52(4)

This paper identifies relationships between air mass properties and mesoscale rainfall when moist air blows over New Zealand's Southern Alps from the Tasman Sea. Around 50% of the variance in six-hourly rain volumes summed across three separate cross-mountain raingauge transects and in six-hourly rain volume spilling across the alpine divide are statistically explained by the following properties of the approaching air mass: relative humidity, wind velocity normal to the mountains, air mass stability and synoptically induced upward motion. These factors also explain about 25% (r≈0.5) of the variance in the downwind distance reached by the spillover rainfall. For the highest 10% of six-hourly rainfalls, spillover distance and magnitude are negatively correlated with the 700 or 500 hPa temperature. Multiple linear regression equations suitable for predicting rainfall intensity and spillover are developed. A progression is described in the magnitude and depth of vertical motion and resulting condensation rates over the mountains as the properties of the incoming air mass evolve through a storm. These changes, together with greater downwind advection of ice particles compared to raindrops, explain the observed statistical relationships between the air mass properties and mountain rainfall.  相似文献   

The influence of subtropical cold fronts on the surface energy balance of a semi-arid site     

Jason Beringer  Nigel J. Tapper 《Journal of Arid Environments》2000,44(4):437

The passage of subtropical cold fronts through central Australia produces the only significant mesoscale meteorological features in the region. The interaction of these cold fronts with the surface energy balance strongly affects the local weather and climate. The surface energy balance was measured at a semi-arid site in Alice Springs, central Australia, to determine how it was influenced by the passage of subtropical cold fronts. Both Bowen ratio and eddy correlation methods were used. The daytime energy balance of the site showed high net radiation that was partitioned into 75% sensible heat flux and 25% soil heat flux with little or no latent heat flux. At night there was a large net radiative loss that was balanced primarily by a loss of heat from the soil. The cold fronts predominately passed through Alice Springs at night and showed a strong surface signature. The fronts brought moister air resulting in higher water vapour pressures during their passage. The nocturnal boundary layer was often disturbed as the front passed, resulting in warm, moist air being mixed down toward the land surface. Mixing decreased the soil heat flux and increased latent heat fluxes toward the surface. Moisture that accumulated at the surface at these times was often evaporated after a return to drier conditions. During the daytime, surface signatures in soil and sensible heat fluxes were less distinct due to the strong convective mixing. Latent heat fluxes followed a similar trend to the nocturnal case.  相似文献   

Thermal Fronts Atlas of Canadian Coastal Waters     

Frédéric Cyr  Pierre Larouche 《大气与海洋》2015,53(2):212-236

Oceanic fronts are often associated with enhanced biological activity. Depending on their generation mechanism, they are often linked to specific geographical areas. Here we use 25 years of high-resolution satellite sea surface temperature (SST) daily images to generate maps of SST fronts over Canadian coastal waters. Results show that fronts are ubiquitous features, but some fronts are more persistent than others. We confirmed the location of previously known major fronts, but some new persistent frontal areas were also detected as a result of the use of high-resolution (1.1?km) data and a methodology adapted to detect smaller-scale frontal features. Results also show that some of the frontal areas are associated with enhanced phytoplankton biomass or higher trophic level organisms (whales and birds) confirming the ecological importance of this physical process.  相似文献   

Remote sensing observations of biological material by LANDSAT along a tidal thermal front and their relevancy to the available field data     

Jacques Le Fèvre  Michel Viollier  Pierre Le Corre  Cécile Dupouy  Jean-René Grall 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》1983,16(1):37-50

Two images recorded on two successive summer days by LANDSAT satellite over the western approaches to the English Channel show bright pattern of complex shape the origin of which is puzzling. Among the wavelength bands available on LANDSAT's multispectral scanner, these patterns are apparent only in the green region of the spectrum, and they are located towards the stratified side of a well marked tidal thermal front. Spectral signature analysis and available knowledge on hydrography and plankton in the area are used to derive a proposed interpretation. Phytoplankton would accordingly be the best candidate for being responsible for the observed patterns.  相似文献   

Carbon production and export from Biscayne Bay,Florida. II. Episodic export of organic carbon     

Michael L. Incze  M.R. Roman 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》1983,17(1):61-72

Seasonal meteorological events of high wind energy are important in the export of organic carbon from Biscayne Bay, Florida, by altering circulation and tidal flushing patterns coincident with increased resuspension. The accumulation of detrital organic carbon in the bay during productive summer months with light south-east breezes is reversed by the onset of the winter season and associated weekly cold fronts with sustained 15 knot northerly winds. The reversal of Biscayne Bay circulation patterns and increased discharge at Caesar's Creek result in an outwelling of dissolved organic carbon and particulate organic carbon. Southward advection at the seaward extremes of exchange channels prevents reintroduction of exported organic carbon by tidal currents.  相似文献   

The dynamics of a bathymetrically arrested estuarine front     

Linda M. Huzzey 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》1982,15(5):537-552

The mixing and circulation associated with a bathymetrically arrested estuarine front was studied using hydrographic and current data. A quasisteady front, exhibiting strongly convergent surface flows, is formed along the steeply sloping inner margins of the flood tide delta during each semidiurnal tide cycle. This front separates the brackish ambient water within a deep estuarine basin from the incoming oceanic tidal water. The position of the front is dependent on the local water depth and the difference in density between the two water masses. Beneath the surface there is an inclined frontal interface where static stability is very low and vertical mixing intense. A vertically integrated horizontal momentum equation was derived for flow in the upper layer and an estimate made as to the value of the associated entrainment coefficient.  相似文献   

Correlations between seabirds and ocenic fronts around the Pribilof Islands,Alaska     

Thomas H. Kinder  George L. Hunt  David Schneider  James D. Schumacher 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》1983,16(3):309-319

Located on the extensive continental shelf of the Bering Sea, the Pribilof Islands, Alaska are the site of one of the largest breeding colonies of seabirds in the northern hemisphere. During summer these islands are surrounded by a front that separates vertically homogeneous waters from well stratified waters farther seaward. We studied the front with hydrographic data and the bird distributions with concurrent counts during summer 1977 and spring, summer and fall 1978. Murres (Uria lomvia and U. aalge) sitting on the water aggregated near the front during summer 1977 and probably during summer 1978. Other species, such as northern fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis) and auklets (Aethia pusilla and A. cristatella) were unaffected by the front. We hypothesize that the aggregation of the murres was related to an enhanced availability of their food near the front.  相似文献
