Origin and mechanism of Subantarctic Mode Water formation and transformation in the Southern Indian Ocean 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The sources and pathways of mode waters and lower thermocline waters entering the subtropical gyre of the Indian Ocean are
examined. A Lagrangian analysis is performed on an eddy-admitting simulation of the Global Ocean performed by the DRAKKAR
Group (NEMO/OPA), which captures the main observed features. We trace the subducted mode water’s pathways, identify their
formation regions and trace whether their source waters come from the Atlantic, Pacific or Indian sectors of the Southern
Ocean. Three main sites for mode waters ventilation in the Indian sector are identified with different circulation pathways
and source water masses: (a) just north of Kerguelen, where 4.2 Sv of lighter Subantarctic Mode Waters (SAMW); σ
0 ∼ 26.5) are exported—originating in the Atlantic and Agulhas Retroflection regions; (b) SW of Australia, where 6.5 Sv of
medium SAMW (σ
0 ∼ 26.6) are ventilated—originating in the southern and denser Agulhas Retroflection region; (c) SW of Tasmania and along
the South Australian coast, where 3 Sv of denser SAMW (σ
0 ∼ 26.75) are ventilated—originating from three sources: Leeuwin Current waters, Tasman Sea (Pacific) waters and Antarctic
Surface Waters. In all cases, modelled mode waters were last ventilated in the Indian Ocean just north of the deepest winter-mixed
layers. For the waters subducted SW of Australia, the last ventilation site extends even further north. Waters ventilated
in the deepest mixed layers north of the Subantarctic Front are then re-ventilated 5 years later southwest of Australia. The
model results raise new hypotheses that revisit the classical picture of the SAMW formation and transformation, where a large
homogeneous mixed layer is subducted and ‘slides’ equatorward, essentially maintaining the T/S characteristics acquired at
the surface. Firstly, the last ventilation of the modelled mode waters is not in the region of the deepest mixed layers, as
previously thought, but further north in regions of moderate meso-scale eddy activity. Secondly, the model shows for the first
time a significant source region for Indian Ocean mode waters coming from deep winter-mixed layers along the south Australian
coast. Finally, this analysis shows how the mode water characteristics are modified after subduction, due to internal eddy
mixing. The simulation shows that resolved eddies have a strong impact on the mixed layer properties and that isopycnal eddy
mixing also contributes to the generation of more homogeneous mode water characteristics in the interior. 相似文献

Defining a model for the representation and the analysis of spatio‐temporal dynamics remains an open domain in geographical information sciences. In this article we investigate a spatio‐temporal graph‐based model dedicated to managing and extracting sets of geographical entities related in space and time. The approach is based on spatial and temporal local relations between neighboring entities during consecutive times. The model allows us to extract sets of connected entities distant in time and space over long periods and large spaces. From GIS concepts and qualitative reasoning on space and time, we combine the graph model with a dedicated spatial database. It includes information on geometry and geomorphometric parameters, and on spatial and temporal relations. This allows us to extend classical measurements of spatial parameters, with comparisons of entities linked by complex relations in space and time. As a case study, we show how the model suggests an efficient representation of dunes dynamics on a nautical chart for safe navigation. 相似文献

Physical processes contributing to the water mass transformation of the Indonesian Throughflow 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

The properties of the waters that move from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean via passages in the Indonesian archipelago are observed to vary with along-flow-path distance. We study an ocean model of the Indonesian Seas with reference to the observed water property distributions and diagnose the mechanisms and magnitude of the water mass transformations using a thermodynamical methodology. This model includes a key parameterization of mixing due to baroclinic tidal dissipation and simulates realistic water property distributions in all of the seas within the archipelago. A combination of air–sea forcing and mixing is found to significantly change the character of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF). Around 6 Sv (approximately 1/3 the model net ITF transport) of the flow leaves the Indonesian Seas with reduced density. Mixing transforms both the intermediate depth waters (transforming 4.3 Sv to lighter density) and the surface waters (made denser despite the buoyancy input by air–sea exchange, net transformation?=?2 Sv). The intermediate transformation to lighter waters suggests that the Indonesian transformation contributes significantly to the upwelling of cold water in the global conveyor belt. The mixing induced by the wind is not driving the transformation. In contrast, the baroclinic tides have a major role in this transformation. In particular, they are the only source of energy acting on the thermocline and are responsible for creating the homostad thermocline water, a characteristic of the Indonesian outflow water. Furthermore, they cool the sea surface temperature by between 0.6 and 1.5°C, and thus allow the ocean to absorb more heat from the atmosphere. The additional heat imprints its characteristics into the thermocline. The Indonesian Seas cannot only be seen as a region of water mass transformation (in the sense of only transforming water masses in its interior) but also as a region of water mass formation (as it modifies the heat flux and induced more buoyancy flux). This analysis is complemented with a series of companion numerical experiments using different representations of the mixing and advection schemes. All the different schemes diagnose a lack of significant lateral mixing in the transformation. 相似文献

We present inversion techniques which aim at recovering the composite nature and the kinematics of a stellar population from
its high resolution absorption line spectrum. The originality of the combined inversion is its potential to recover both the
stellar content and the kinematics simultaneously. These techniques use new synthetic high resolution spectra produced by
PéGASE and minimization algorithms. We apply them to mock data representing the bulge and disk population of the inner region
of spiral galaxies.

This paper presents the lead isotopic composition of potential clay sources for pottery production, collected in the four major geological zones of Cyprus (Troodos Ophiolite, Circum Troodos Sedimentary Succession, Mamonia Terrane, Kyrenia Terrane) and evaluates its usefulness in Cypriote pottery provenance studies. The clay isotopic signatures from the four zones are compared to each other and to the isotopic composition of various utilitarian pottery wares from three Late Bronze Age sites, respectively located in southern Cyprus (Alassa‐Pano Mandilaris), east Cyprus (Enkomi), and southeast Cyprus (Hala Sultan Tekke). It also explores the potential of this method to better discriminate between potential raw materials used for the production of Base‐ring ware, one of the most characteristic fine pottery of Late Bronze Age Cyprus, which was widely spread in the Eastern Mediterranean (Courtois, 1981; Vaughan, 1991, 1994). Results show that three main lead isotopic fields can be distinguished among the Cypriote clay sources and the comparison of Plain sherds with the clay sources allows discrimination between local products and imports. They also clearly indicate that all the Base‐ring sherds analyzed in this study were made of the clays from the Kathikas Formation that crops out in only limited parts of southwest Cyprus. 相似文献

Understanding the origin and fate of mode and intermediate waters (MW) in the subtropical Pacific Ocean is critical for climate,
as MW store and export a large volume of CO2, heat, nutrients and salinity to lower latitudes at depths isolated from the atmosphere. A realistic 4D simulation has been
used to track and quantify the MW routes and their property characteristics at the last region of subduction. It also allows
us to quantify the water transformation after subduction. The simulation has been compared to available observations using
a collocation method that interpolated model data onto observations in time and space. The comprehensive comparisons gave
us confidence in the model’s capacity to reproduce MW characteristics. A quantitative Lagrangian analysis was performed on
the model output to depict the origin, the fate and the route of MW circulating in the southern Pacific Ocean, selected in
the density range of 26.8–27.4 kg m−3. We found 18 Sv of MW were transported northward in patches through the 42° S section, mostly between 200 and 800 m depth.
Of this transport, 8 Sv enters the Pacific Ocean in the upper layer south of Tasmania and subducts in the Pacific. The remainder
is not ventilated in the Pacific sector: 4 Sv is advected from the Indian Ocean south of Tasmania at intermediate depth and
finally 6 Sv is part of an intermediate depth recirculation within the Pacific Ocean. Particles take up to 30 years to travel
northward through our domain before crossing the 42° S section. Southward transport branches also exist: 3 Sv flows southward
following the eastern New Zealand coast and then exits through Drake Passage. An additional 4 Sv passes southward in the Tasman
Sea, following the eastern Tasmanian coast and enters the Indian Ocean south of Tasmania, as part of the Tasman Leakage. Four
different formation sites have been identified, where the MW are last ventilated. These formation sites have different water
masses with specific salinity ranges. A study on the evolution of the physical characteristics of each of these water masses
has been performed. All MW characteristics become more homogeneous at 42° S than they were when they left the mixed layer.
This study confirms the homogenisation of mode waters at intermediate depth in the Pacific Ocean as previously revealed in
the Indian Ocean using the same methodology. Transformations are shown to be mostly isopycnal in the Tasman Sea and diapycnal
farther east. 相似文献

In urban microclimate research, ground-based thermography is used to gain insight into the spatial distribution of surface temperatures of various materials. Taking snapshots over a certain time span helps experts to observe the temporal thermo-radiative behavior of the monitored surface elements and therefore supports decisions on possible optimizations, e.g., improving the thermal comfort in a neighborhood. Appropriate visualization techniques facilitate decision-making and are thus crucial in the optimization process. In this study, we present a tool that eases the extraction of thermo-radiative features from multi-temporal thermographs taken from a monitored scene. Assisted by our tool, users can identify, choose, and register thermo-radiative features for each time step according to their individual research needs. The features’ temporal development is then visualized using a directed graph that encodes topological events as well as each feature’s size and summarizing statistics. To enhance this summary, a comprehensive animated sequence emphasizes the spatiotemporal behavior of the most significant thermo-radiative features. Salient developments are visually embedded and highlighted in the original infrared images, which are blended in an animation from time step to time step. Since we enable the user to interact with the data in a flexible way, noisy and low resolution image data sets can also be processed. 相似文献

Characteristics and variability of the Indonesian throughflow water at the outflow straits 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Property structure and variability of the Indonesian Throughflow Water in the major outflow straits (Lombok, Ombai and Timor) are revised from newly available data sets and output from a numerical model. Emphasis is put on the upper layers of the Indonesian Throughflow that impacts the heat and freshwater fluxes of the South Equatorial Current in the Indian Ocean. During the April–June monsoon transition the salinity maximum signature of the North Pacific thermocline water is strongly attenuated. This freshening of the thermocline layer is more intense in Ombai and is related to the supply of fresh near-surface Java Sea water that is drawn eastward by surface monsoon currents and subject to strong diapycnal mixing. The freshwater exits to the Indian Ocean first through Lombok Strait and later through Ombai and Timor, with an advective phase lag of between one and five months. Because of these phase lags, the fresher surface and thermocline water is found in the southeast Indian Ocean from the beginning of the monsoon transition period in April through until the end of the southeast monsoon in September, a much longer time period than previously estimated. 相似文献
