Thermal fronts and cross-frontal heat flux in the southern Huanghai Sea and the East China Sea 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Synoptic features in/around thermal fronts and cross-frontal heat fluxes in the southern Huanghai./Yellow Sea and East China Sea （HES） were examined using the data collected from four airborne expendable bathythermograph surveys with horizontal approxmately 35 km and vertical 1 m（from the surface to 400 m deep） spacings. Since the fronts are strongly affected by HES current system, the synoptic thermal features in/around them represent the interaction of currents with surrounding water masses. These features can not be obtained from climatological data. The identified thermal features are listed as follows ： （ 1 ） multiple boundaries of cold water, asymmetric thermocline intrusion, locally-split front by homogeneous water of approxmately 18 ℃, and mergence of the front by the Taiwan Warm Current in/around summertime southern Cheju - Changjiang/Yangtze front and Tsushima front; （2） springtime frontal eddy-like feature around Tsushima front; （3） year-round cyclonic meandering and summertime temperature-inversion at the bottom of the surface mixed layer in Cheju - Tsushima front; and （4） multistructure of Kuroshio front. In the Kuroshio front the mean variance of vertical temperature gradient is an order of degree smaller than that in other HES fronts. The southern Cheju- Changjiang front and Cheju -Tsushima front are connected with each other in the summer with comparable cross-frontal temperature gradient. However, cross-frontal heat flux and lateral eddy diffusivity are stronger in the southern Cheju - Changjiang front. The cross-frontal heat exchange is the largest in the mixing zone between the modified Huanghai Sea bottom cold water and the Tsushima Warm Current, which is attributable to enhanced thermocline intrusions. 相似文献

Four surveys of airborne expendable bathythermograph with horizontal spacing of about 35 km and vertical spacing of 1 m extending
from the surface down to 400 m deep are used to analyze thermal finestructures and their seasonality in frontal zones of the
southern Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. Finestructure characteristics are different not only among fronts but also along
the same front, implying different mixing mechanisms. Summer thermocline intrusions with thickness from few to 40 meters,
generated by the vertically-sheared advection, are identified along the southern tongue of the Cheju-Yangtze Front (especially
south of Cheju Island). The finestructures south of the Yangtze Bank (i.e. the western tip of the southern tongue) produced
by strong along-frontal currents are not as rich as elsewhere in the southern tongue. The Cheju-Tsushima Front presents mixed
finestructures due to confluent currents from various origins. The irregular-staircase finestructures in the Kuroshio region
(below the seasonal thermocline), driven by double-diffusive mixing, show seasonal invariance and vertical/horizontal coherence.
The strength of mixing related to finestructure is weaker in the Kuroshio region than in the Cheju-Tsushima Front or south
of Cheju Island. The profiles in the Tsushima Warm Current branching area show large (∼50 m thick), irregular-staircase structures
at the upper 230 m depth, which coincides roughly with the lower boundary of the maximum salinity layer. The finestructure
at depths deeper 230 m is similar to that in the Kuroshio region. The possible mechanisms for generating the finestructures
are also discussed. 相似文献

A coastal atmosphere-ocean coupled system (CAOCS) is developed with Princeton Ocean Model (POM) as the oceanic component, and with National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) regional climate model (RegCM2) as the atmospheric component. The model domain (98.84°–121.16°E, 3.06°S–25.07°N) covers the whole SCS and surrounding land and islands. The surface fluxes of water, heat (excluding solar radiation), and momentum are applied synchronously with opposite signs in the atmosphere and ocean. Flux adjustments are not used. The CAOCS model was verified using an intensive airborne expendable bathythermograph (AXBT) survey between 14–25 May 1995 over the majority of the SCS down to about 300-m depth. 相似文献

To detect eddies, intensive surveys of the northeast South China Sea (SCS) (114°30′–121°30′ E, 17°–22°N) were conducted in
July 1998 during the international SCS Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX), the U.S. Navy using Airborne Expendable Bathythermograph
and Conductivity-Temperature-Depth sensors (AXBT/AXCTD), and the Chinese Academy of Sciences using Acoustic Doppler Current
Profilers (ADCP). The hydrographic survey included 307 AXBT and 9 AXCTD stations, distributed uniformly throughout the survey
area. The ADCP survey had two sections. The velocity field inverted from the AXBT/AXCTD data and analyzed from the ADCP data
confirm the existence of a low salinity, cool-core cyclonic eddy located northwest of Luzon Island (i.e., the Northwest Luzon
Eddy). The radius of this eddy is approximately 150 km. The horizontal temperature gradient of the eddy increases with depth
from the surface to 100 m and then decreases with depth below 100 m. The cool core was evident from the surface to 300 m depth,
being 1°–2°C cooler inside the eddy than outside. The tangential velocity of the eddy is around 30–40 cm/s above 50 m and
decreases with depth. At 300 m depth, it becomes less than 5 cm/s.
