Marine carbon cycle of the South China Sea is an important part of global carbon cycle. Researches on the air-sea CO₂ flux in the South China Sea will help us understand the global carbon cycle and improve the global carbon system parameter database. This paper concisely summarized the changes of partial pressure of CO₂ (pCO₂), air-sea CO₂ fluxes (FCO₂), and related environmental factors in four regions in domains in the South China Sea. The low-salinity area of the upper reaches of the Pearl River estuary in the northern of South China Sea shelf area acted as a strong source of atmospheric CO₂, with high pCO₂（405.3~810.6 Pa）all year round. The lower area of the Pearl River estuary (salinity > 33.7) acted as a weak sink of CO₂ in winter, with relatively low pCO₂ （35.2~37.0 Pa). The northern slope/basin in the South China Sea acted as a source of CO₂ in warm seasons with a relatively high pCO₂ (45.0 Pa), and acted as a sink of CO₂ in cold seasons with a relatively low pCO₂ (34.7 Pa). The west of the Luzon Strait acted as a sink of CO₂ in spring, while it acted as a source of CO₂ in other seasons, with relative high pCO₂ (38.4~47.5 Pa) in winter. The central/southern basin in the South China Sea acted as sources of CO₂, with relative high pCO₂ (41.0 Pa) all the year. Generally, the estimation of annual sea-air CO₂ fluxes showed that most domains in the South China Sea served as weak sources of atmospheric CO₂. In the future, more researches should be focused on the time-series of sea surface pCO₂ and the remote sensing of the sea-air CO₂ fluxes.  相似文献   

Sensitivity of the equatorial air—sea coupled system to the zonal phase difference between SST and wind stress     

Soon-Il An  In-Sik Kang 《大气科学进展》2001,18(2):155-165

An eigen analysis of the equatorial air-sea coupled model is carried out to understand the mechanism of the slowly varying mode for various zonal phase differences between SST and wind stress. The frequency and growth rate of the slow mode highly depend on the zonal phase difference between SST and wind stress anomalies and the wave scale. For ultra-long waves longer than 20,000 km, the system propagates westward regardless of the position of wind stress. However, for the long waves observed in the Pacific, the slow mode tends to propagate eastward when the SST and wind stress anomalies are close to each other (within a quadrature phase relationship). On the other hand, when the wind stress is located far away from SST, the slow mode tends to propagate westward. The coupled system produces the unstable modes when the westerly (easterly) wind stress is located in the west of warm (cold) SST. It is noted that for the Pacific basin scale,the eastward propagating unstable waves can be produced when the wind stress is located to the west of SST with a few thousand kilometer distance. Also examined in the present study is the relative role of the thermocline displacement and zonal advection effects in determining the propagation and instability of the coupled system.  相似文献

基于气象场信息源汇概念和定义方法, 使用海表温度(SST)和位势高度场(GH)资料计算热带印度洋和全球大气相互作用过程中的信息传递, 给出了热带印度洋(20°S～20°N, 50°E～100°E)与热带地区、北半球和南半球大气之间的信息传递的区域分布特征, 并分析热带印度洋与大气相互作用中信息传递特征的季节差异和年代际变化。研究结果表明, 热带印度洋信息源主要分布在(10°S～10°N, 60°E～90°E)的区域内, 北半球和南半球大气信息汇均呈现显著的带状分布, 且主要分布在中纬度地区, 而热带地区的大气信息汇则主要分布于热带中东太平洋上空。热带印度洋对处在冬半年的半球的影响更强, 不同季节下热带印度洋与大气相互作用中的信息源汇证实了这一可能性。同时, 热带印度洋与大气之间的信息传递特征在20世纪70年代末期的年代际气候转型前后南北半球的变化不太一致:北半球大气对热带印度洋的响应存在不同程度的减弱, 南半球则存在不同程度的增强。  相似文献

利用2000年与2002年南海海气通量观测资料及同期西沙站资料,研究分析了4-6月份南海北部海区太阳总辐射与云量以及日照时间等因子的对应关系.研究发现,日均太阳辐射与日总日照时间对应关系最好,依次是低云量、总云量.据此首先利用2000年资料建立了除考虑云量外还包括日总日照时间的计算日均太阳辐射的估计公式,并利用2002年观测资料进行独立检验.误差分析结果表明,包括日总日照时间的经验公式远优于单纯考虑云量的计算公式,误差减少了近50%.最后,应用该经验公式对观测期间缺测段资料进行了补插及外推估算,分析了2000年与2002年南海季风爆发前后太阳辐射的一些变化特征,估算结果表明,季风爆发前太阳辐射日均值缓慢增加并始终处于较高值.  相似文献
