After compositing three representative ENSO indices,El Nio events have been divided into an eastern pattern(EP) and a central pattern(CP).By using EOF,correlation and composite analysis,the relationship and possible mechanisms between Indian Ocean Dipole(IOD) and two types of El Nio were investigated.IOD events,originating from Indo-Pacific scale air-sea interaction,are composed of two modes,which are associated with EP and CP El Ni o respectively.The IOD mode related to EP El Nio events(named as IOD1) is strongest at the depth of 50 to 150 m along the equatorial Indian Ocean.Besides,it shows a quasi-symmetric distribution,stronger in the south of the Equator.The IOD mode associated with CP El Nio(named as IOD2) has strongest signal in tropical southern Indian Ocean surface.In terms of mechanisms,before EP El Nio peaks,anomalous Walker circulation produces strong anomalous easterlies in equatorial Indian Ocean,resulting in upwelling in the east,decreasing sea temperature there;a couple of anomalous anticyclones(stronger in the south) form off the Equator where warm water accumulates,and thus the IOD1 occurs.When CP El Nio develops,anomalous Walker circulation is weaker and shifts its center to the west,therefore anomalous easterlies in equatorial Indian Ocean is less strong.Besides,the anticyclone south of Sumatra strengthens,and the southerlies east of it bring cold water from higher latitudes and northerlies west of it bring warm water from lower latitudes to the 15° to 25°S zone.Meanwhile,there exists strong divergence in the east and convergence in the west part of tropical southern Indian Ocean,making sea temperature fall and rise separately.Therefore,IOD2 lies farther south.  相似文献   

印度洋偶极子与两类El Niño的关联及其可能机理     

董笛  何金海 《热带气象学报》2015,31(2):182-192

通过合成三种具有代表性的两类ENSO指数,将El Ni?o事件划分为东部(EP)和中部(CP)型。利用EOF、相关分析、合成分析等方法探究了印度洋偶极子(IOD)与两类El Ni?o事件的关联及其产生的可能机理。研究表明,源于热带太平洋-印度洋尺度海气相互作用的IOD事件由两种型态构成,其分别与EP和CP型El Ni?o事件相联系。与EP型El Ni?o相联系的IOD事件(第一类IOD)在赤道印度洋50~150 m的温跃层附近信号最强,并关于赤道呈南强北弱的准对称海温异常分布;与CP型El Ni?o相联系的IOD事件(第二类IOD)则在热带南印度洋海表层信号最强。在产生机理方面,EP型El Ni?o发展时,异常Walker环流在赤道印度洋海表面产生较强的东风应力,使赤道印度洋东部冷水上翻,西部暖水堆积;同时,赤道外南强北弱的异常反气旋环流造成旋度中心区域暖水堆积,形成第一类IOD事件。CP型El Ni?o发展时,异常Walker环流较弱,中心西移,赤道印度洋东风应力距平较弱,偶极子信号在赤道印度洋不显著;苏门答腊岛南部出现异常反气旋,其东侧偏南风和西侧偏北风分别将高纬冷水和低纬暖水向15~25°S的热带南印度洋输送;同时热带南印度洋东、西部风场分别有较强的辐散、辐合,使东部海温降低、西部升高,形成第二类IOD事件。  相似文献
