Simulating Eastern-and Central-Pacific Type ENSO Using a Simple Coupled Model     

Xianghui FANG  Fei ZHENG 《大气科学进展》2018,35(6):671-681

Severe biases exist in state-of-the-art general circulation models(GCMs) in capturing realistic central-Pacific(CP) El Nino structures. At the same time, many observational analyses have emphasized that thermocline(TH) feedback and zonal advective(ZA) feedback play dominant roles in the development of eastern-Pacific(EP) and CP El Nino-Southern Oscillation(ENSO), respectively. In this work, a simple linear air-sea coupled model, which can accurately depict the strength distribution of the TH and ZA feedbacks in the equatorial Pacific, is used to investigate these two types of El Nino. The results indicate that the model can reproduce the main characteristics of CP ENSO if the TH feedback is switched off and the ZA feedback is retained as the only positive feedback, confirming the dominant role played by ZA feedback in the development of CP ENSO. Further experiments indicate that, through a simple nonlinear control approach, many ENSO characteristics,including the existence of both CP and EP El Nino and the asymmetries between El Nino and La Nina, can be successfully captured using the simple linear air-sea coupled model. These analyses indicate that an accurate depiction of the climatological sea surface temperature distribution and the related ZA feedback, which are the subject of severe biases in GCMs, is very important in simulating a realistic CP El Nino.  相似文献   

论冲绳海槽在东海大陆架划界中的意义——以自然地理特征为视角     

王玫黎  林曦 《世界地理研究》2016,(2):1-8

东海大陆架与中国东部大陆是一个完整的地理单元,东海大陆架是中国大陆在水下的延伸,连续延伸至冲绳海槽。冲绳海槽位于亚欧板块与菲律宾板块的交界处,地质运动活跃,已经逐渐脱离大陆的性质具备洋壳或准洋壳的性质,成为中日大陆架的天然分界线。在东海大陆架划界问题上日本主张"等距离中间线原则",但是"等距离中间线原则"不具有普遍适用性,也不能达到公平的结果。而应当适用"公平原则",考虑多种因素。"自然延伸原则"是大陆架制度的权利依据,而且我国是大陆架自然延伸超过200海里的国家,所以应将大陆架的自然延伸作为中日东海大陆架划界的主要考虑因素。  相似文献   

Population genetic diversity and structure of a dominant tropical seagrass,Cymodocea rotundata,in the Western Pacific region          下载免费PDF全文

Cymodocea rotundata is an ecologically important tropical pioneer seagrass species distributed in the Indo‐Pacific region. The population genetic diversity and structure of this species were analysed at 46 sites spanning the Philippines, Ryukyu Islands (northern limit) and Hainan Island, by using microsatellite simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Analyses revealed the persistence of C. rotundata likely relies on local population dynamics and fitness influenced by environmental gradients, with sexual reproduction prevalent in the Philippines while the Ryukyu and Hainan populations were predominantly established by clonal spread. Analysis of molecular variance showed significant genetic differentiation (P < 0.001) among three geographic regions: the Philippines, Ryukyu and Hainan. Furthermore, the mean fixation index value was very high (F_ST = 0.36), indicating poor dispersal potential or limited gene flow. Allelic richness and heterozygosity of C. rotundata was comparable in the Philippines and Ryukyu Islands populations. More private alleles were found in the Philippines and excess heterozygotes in the Ryukyu Islands. STRUCTURE analysis revealed that the Ryukyu and Hainan populations were mosaics of admixed alleles of individuals from the Philippines. An assignment test suggested that recruitment occurs from the Northeast Philippines to Ryukyu Islands. These results suggest that the Philippine populations are tropical seagrass hotspots and perhaps the origin of the populations in the Ryukyu and Hainan Islands. This scenario is most likely driven by the Kuroshio Current and island integration events during plate tectonic activities. The Philippine Archipelago is considered of high importance for conservation objectives and management plan of seagrasses. Likewise, the Ryukyu Islands are also important in terms of conserving regional diversity because locally adapted genotypes have important evolutionary potential in the face of environmental change.  相似文献

为了研究南海中尺度涡强度的季节和年际变化规律,利用Matlab提取50 a(1958~2007年)简单海洋资料同化(Simple Ocean Data Assimilation,SODA)月平均数据集中流场和海表面高度场数据,应用一个涡旋自动探测算法对南海中尺度涡初始生成位置进行分析,并分析了海表面高度异常均方根值的季节变化和年际变化。结果表明:50 a里南海中尺度涡主要分布在吕宋岛西北海域、吕宋岛西南海域和越南以东广大海域,秋、冬季中尺度涡能量较高,春季中尺度涡最弱,中尺度涡强度高值区年际变化明显。从季节变化上看,海面高度异常均方根春、夏季最小,秋冬季最大;从年际变化上看,与同时期Nino3指数有显著负相关,周期大约为3 a。  相似文献   

基于时间可达性与伽萨法则的大卖场区位探讨——以上海市中心城区为例   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1  

蒋海兵  徐建刚  祁毅  陈筠婷 《地理研究》2010,29(6):1056-1068

目前多数基于GIS的商业区位模型与技术研究,未全面考虑交通网络、道路等级、网点吸引力与竞争因素。针对此局限,借助GIS软件,依托可达性方法与伽萨法则,尝试综合考虑上述因素探讨大卖场可达性与商圈特征。以上海中心城区大卖场为例,采用同心圆法、扇形法与最近邻域法探讨卖场空间特征;利用行进成本分析法计算卖场可达性,并根据伽萨法则叠加了卖场引力因素,得到伽萨法则商圈。结果表明:大卖场集中分布于距市中心4.5~10km范围,各方向扩张不均衡。城区整体可达性较好,浦西优于浦东。外环附近商圈面积大,外环附近与市中心区商圈市场规模大,内环附近商圈面积与市场规模小。伽萨法则商圈市场规模"两极分化"既表明卖场市场竞争激烈地区与网点短缺区并存,也说明网点市场规模与职能存在等级差异。  相似文献   

关于中国的亚热带     

杨勤业  郑度  吴绍洪 《福建地理》2006,(3)

本文阐述了中国亚热带的6个基本特点,亚热带北界和南界的划分问题,生态过渡带和亚热带划分的方法论,综合区划研究的必要性与重要性,以及尚需深入研究的若干重要自然地理界线问题.认为中国的亚热带从广义上说也是一个生态过渡带.深入研究中国亚热带形成的机制及其成因和演变趋势,将有利于整个亚热带的区域可持续发展.目前亚热带划分所用的指标比较初始、简略,亚热带的东部与西部所采用的指标也不完全一致,还需要经过艰苦的探索,提出一个既能反映客观实际,又能与国际研究接轨的较好方案.在亚热带的划分中需要加强新技术和新方法的应用.  相似文献   

Sensitivity of Nonlinearity on the ENSO Cycle in a Simple Air-sea Coupled Model          下载免费PDF全文

LIN Wan-Tao 《大气和海洋科学快报》2009,2(1):1-6

In this paper,the influence of the El NioSouthern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle on the sensitivity of nonlinear factors in the numerical simulation is investigated by conducting numerical experiments in a simple air-sea coupled model for ENSO prediction.Two sets of experiments are conducted in which zonal nonlinear factors,meridional nonlinear factors,or both are incorporated into the governing equations for the atmosphere or ocean.The results suggest that the ENSO cycle is very sensitive to the nonlinear factor of the governing equation for the atmosphere or ocean.Thus,incorporating nonlinearity into air-sea coupled models is of exclusive importance for improving ENSO simulation.  相似文献   

Origin of layering in cumulate gabbros in the Oman ophiolite: Insights from magnetic susceptibility measurements in the Wadi Sadm area

Abstract   Magnetic susceptibility and the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility were measured on an 800-cm-thick succession of cumulate gabbro in the Sadm area of the Oman ophiolite. The section contained three distinct cumulate units. The susceptibility tends to decrease upward in each from a melanocratic layer (several tens of centimeters thick) to a leucocratic layer (a few meters thick). The susceptibility decreases in accordance with the decreasing number of magnetite grains, which are the alteration product mainly of olivine minerals. This suggests the cyclic downward accumulation of olivine in the cumulate gabbro. The apparent strain deduced from the patterns of magnetic and grain fabrics was the result mostly of simple shear, so that the layering of gabbro is understood to be formed primarily by a crystal cumulus process followed by simple shear deformation.  相似文献

杜旭东  漆家福  张一伟  陆春生 《吉林大学学报(地球科学版)》1997,(2)

在计算覆盖整个黄晔裂谷２００口人工井（包括少部分探井）沉降量的基础上，总结本区二种基本沉降曲线模式。统计出热沉降（Ｓｔ）与初始沉降（Ｓｉ）之比为０．６，依此为约束条件与大陆岩石圈伸展的地球动力学正演模式进行对比，与简单剪切模式预测的热沉降与初始沉降之比值及几何效应更接近。进一步证实黄骅裂谷以简单剪切机制形成的地球动力学模式更合理，这与著名的以纯剪模式形成的北海伸展盆地不同  相似文献

以往在工程地质勘测中,电法勘探主要采用的是电测深法,而电测深法又存在测点密度不大、信息量小等缺点.对于某些探测物来说,存在着资料解释困难的现象.为了解决上述问题,我们引进了一种新方法-高密度电阻率法,经过近几年我们对不同探测物的勘探应用,认为高密度电阻率在工程地质勘察中,是一种简单易行,行之有效的方法.  相似文献
