The vertical structure of the Soya Warm Current (SWC) was observed by a bottom-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) in the region of the SWC axis near the Soya Strait during a 1-year period from May 2004. The ADCP data revealed a marked seasonal variability in the vertical structure, with positive (negative) vertical shear in summer and fall (winter and spring). The volume transport of the SWC is estimated on the basis of both the vertical structure observed by the ADCP and horizontal structure observed by the ocean radars near the strait. The transport estimates have a minimum in winter and a maximum in fall, with the yearly-averaged values in the range of 0.94–1.04 Sv (1 Sv = 10⁶ m³ s⁻¹). These lie within a reasonable range in comparison to those through other straits in the Japan Sea.  相似文献   

Particle tracking experiments on a model of the Okhotsk Sea: Toward oil spill simulation   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1

Particle tracking experiments were conducted for the Sea of Okhotsk using a three-dimensional ocean circulation model, as a step toward the simulation of oil spills. The model’s reproducibility is first examined in detail. Comparison with surface drifter and moored ADCP data shows that the model successfully reproduces the velocity field over the shelves, particularly in the weak stratification period. This is because the current variability is simply determined by integration of the alongshore component of the wind stress over the coast from which arrested topographic waves propagate. Good agreement even in the ice-covered period implies that the neglect of sea ice in the model is not a problem for reproduction of the current over the shelves. Good agreement also supports the correction of ECMWF wind speed by a factor of 1.25. A series of particle tracking experiments was carried out to examine the case of particles released from the Sakhalin oil field at depths of 0 m and 15 m. Regardless of the deployment month and year, most particles at depth 15 m are transported southward along the Sakhalin coast, in accordance with the abrupt intensification of the East Sakhalin Current in October, finally arriving offshore of Hokkaido in November–January. Particles at the surface, which are affected by wind drift in addition to the ocean current, show larger yearly variability. In years when the offshoreward-wind dominates, the particles would be advected out of the mainstream of the current and would not be transported offshore of Hokkaido.  相似文献   

The main phosphorous sources in the Changjiang estuary     

杨东方  王凡  苗振清  陈永利  童元正 《中国海洋湖沼学报》2008,26(4):486-497

Analysis using historical data on the phosphate sources in Changjiang （Yangtze River） estuary show that phosphate was supplied equally from the east, south, west and north of the estuary. These sources include the Changjiang River, the Taiwan Warm Current （TWC）, a cyclone-type eddy, and the 32°N Upwelling, supplying different phosphates in different times, ways and intensities. The magnitude of their supplying phosphate concentration was related with the size in the order of the Changjiang River 〈 the TWC 〈 the 32°N Upwelling 〈 the cyclone-type eddy, and the duration of the supplying was： the Changjiang River 〉 the TWC 〉 the cyclone-type eddy 〉 the 32°N Upwelling. The four sources supplied a great deal of phosphate so that the phosphate concentration in the estuary was kept above 0.2 pmol/L in previous years, satisfying the phytoplankton growth. The horizontal and vertical distribution of the phosphate concentration showed that near shallow marine areas at 122°E/31°N, the TWC in low nutrient concentration became an upwelling through sea bottom and brought up nutrients from sea bottom to marine surface. In addition, horizontal distribution of phosphate concentration was consistent with that of algae： Rhizosolenia robusta, Rhizosolenia calcaravis and Skeletonema, which showed that no matter during high water or low water of Changjiang River, these species brought by the TWC became predominant species. Therefore, the authors believe that the TWC flowed from south to north along the coast and played a role in deflecting the Changjiang River flow from the southern side.  相似文献   

深水沉积研究前缘问题   总被引：27，自引：0，他引：27

深水沉积研究经历了50年,争论也持续了50年。从浊流及鲍玛序列开始,随着对浊流定义的过分使用,到今天对鲍玛序列作为浊积岩相序及相关的扇模式普遍持否定态度,深水沉积研究经历了一个认识的旋回。主要问题和争论的焦点是：是否所有深水砂岩都是浊流成因,鲍玛序列能否代表浊积岩相序;是否所有的深水扇水道下方都能形成席状的、平行的、加厚的、具有丘状外形的浊积砂岩沉积;是否可以利用地震方法识别深水扇的砂岩储层。对“浊流”概念的过分使用把深水扇模式内几乎所有深水沉积都解释成浊流成因,导致了曾经为之建立模式的学者纷纷撰文抛弃原有扇模式。深水沉积研究面临着对过往认识的否定和如何建立新的理论模式。尽管浊流及相关的深水扇模式研究走向穷途末路,石油工业却从浊流理论和相关模式中获得了许多油气发现,勘探家们仍然希望通过这些模式寻找更多的油气,科学理论和应用出现了分化。对深水沉积过程和流态的认识及沉积模式的建立是当今深水沉积研究的难点,实现深水砂岩储层的有效预测是深水沉积研究的主要目的。我国深海油气勘探在即,深水沉积的科学问题同样不可逾越。  相似文献   

A Review on the Currents in the South China Sea: Seasonal Circulation, South China Sea Warm Current and Kuroshio Intrusion   总被引：43，自引：4，他引：43  

Jianyu Hu  Hiroshi Kawamura  Huasheng Hong  Yiquan Qi 《Journal of Oceanography》2000,56(6):607-624

Researches on the currents in the South China Sea (SCS) and the interaction between the SCS and its adjacent seas are reviewed. Overall seasonal circulation in the SCS is cyclonic in winter and anticyclonic in summer with a few stable eddies. The seasonal circulation is mostly driven by monsoon winds, and is related to water exchange between the SCS and the East China Sea through the Taiwan Strait, and between the SCS and the Kuroshio through the Luzon Strait. Seasonal characteristics of the South China Sea Warm Current in the northern SCS and the Kuroshio intrusion to the SCS are summarized in terms of the interaction between the SCS and its adjacent seas.  相似文献

根据1998年9月8日和1999年3月19日两次对埕北海域进行的10个站位的同步海流、悬浮泥沙观测资料，进行该海区的悬浮泥沙输运趋势分析，发现该海区含沙量较大。从整个海区来看，底层含沙量大于表层含沙量，该海区泥沙含量普遍表现为东南部的泥沙含量高于西北部的泥沙含量；由单宽输沙量的计算及有关资料分析可以得出，秋季泥沙运移趋势是由东南向到西北向，而春季泥沙的运移趋势是由东北向到西南向；含沙量是随流速的加大而增加，含沙量的峰值稍滞后于流速的峰值；该海区为冲蚀海区，悬浮泥沙产生的平均年7中刷量为2cm／a，在本海区的地形塑造中占次要地位。  相似文献   

The Taiwan-Tsushima Warm Current System: Its Path and the Transformation of the Water Mass in the East China Sea     

Atsuhiko Isobe 《Journal of Oceanography》1999,55(2):185-195

Using a temperature data set from 1961 to 1990, we estimated the monthly distribution of the vertically integrated heat content in the East China Sea. We then drew the monthly map of the horizontal heat transport, which is obtained as the difference between the vertically integrated heat content and the surface heat flux. We anticipate that its distribution pattern is determined mainly due to the advection by the ocean current if it exists stably in the East China Sea. The monthly map of the horizontal heat transport showed the existence of the Taiwan-Tsushima Warm Current System (TTWCS) at least from April to August. The T-S (temperature-salinity) analysis along the path of TTWCS indicated that the TTWCS changes its T-S property as it flows in the East China Sea forming the Tsushima Warm Current water. The end members of the Tsushima Warm Current water detected in this study are water masses in the Taiwan Strait and the Kuroshio surface layer, the fresh water from the mainland of China, and the southern tip of the Yellow Sea Cold Water extending in the northern part of the East China Sea. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Seasonal characteristics of the Tsushima Current in the Tsushima/Korea Strait obtained by a fine-resolution numerical model     

Y.H. Seung  Y.-J. Kim  J.-H. Yoon 《Continental Shelf Research》2007

The horizontal distribution of the Tsushima Current in the Tsushima/Korea Strait is assessed by a fine-resolution numerical experiment. The comparison of the model results with the observations along a section crossing the strait shows that the model represents relatively well, the general tendency of what was observed, such as the separation of the Tsushima Current into the western and eastern streams by the Tsushima Island. In summer, strong and relatively uniformly distributed surface currents enhance the formation of the wake downstream of the Tsushima Island. The axis of the countercurrent, embedded in the wake, is closer to the western stream. Anti-cyclonic eddies are shed near the downstream tip of the Tsushima Island and propagate along the boundary between the western stream and the wake. The exchange of water between the western stream and the wake takes place through the intermediation of these eddies. There is a net water supply from the western stream to the wake, which is then carried to the eastern stream by the countercurrent via the eastern coast of the Tsushima Island. In winter, currents, strongly barotropic, tend to have banded structures, especially in the region downstream of the western channel where isobaths converge in the downstream direction. The eddies found in this region in winter appear to be fundamentally different from those associated with the Tsushima Island wake. The necessary condition for barotropic instability is satisfied for the monthly mean currents in this region, suggesting that the currents are barotropically unstable in this region in winter.  相似文献
