北印度洋障碍层厚度气候态和季节变化特征及其成因初步分析

基于2004—2018年Argo (Array for Real-Time Geostrophic Oceanography)浮标观测的温度、盐度数据, 利用经验正交函数(EOF)分析和小波分析等方法对北印度洋(40°—105°E, 5°S—25°N)障碍层时空分布特征进行分析。结果显示: 北印度洋的东部常年存在障碍层, 而西部障碍层出现的概率相对较低; 较厚的障碍层出现在阿拉伯海东南部(67°—75°E, 3°—12°N)、孟加拉湾(82°—93°E, 11°—20°N)和赤道东印度洋(81°—102°E, 4°S—3°N)。阿拉伯海东南部和孟加拉湾障碍层厚度以年变化为主, 且呈同位相变化, 均为冬季最大, 夏季最小。赤道东印度洋区域则主要呈现半年周期变化, 在夏季和冬季各出现一次峰值。进一步分析表明, 孟加拉湾和赤道东印度洋障碍层厚度主要受等温层深度变化影响, 混合层深度变化对障碍层厚度变化的影响相对较小; 阿拉伯海障碍层厚度同时受等温层深度变化和混合层深度变化影响, 其中等温层深度变化对其影响更大。     

基于2007—2018年Argo数据分析全球混合层和障碍层时空特征

为了进一步认识上层海洋中混合层和障碍层的时空变化特征。本文基于Argo (Array for real-time geostrophic oceanography)海洋观测网2007—2018年的温盐数据,使用差值法计算了全球海洋混合层深度(Mixed layer depth, MLD)和障碍层厚度(Barrier layer thickness, BLT),讨论了二者的月均值、季节均值和年均值的空间分布特征和形成机制。研究表明,全球海洋的混合层普遍在夏季浅、在冬季深,随季节变化的特征显著。北半球混合层变化幅度较大,大西洋混合层比同纬度的太平洋深;赤道海区混合层较浅;南半球混合层呈纬向带状分布,60°S附近大洋海域存在显著的深混合层带,南极大陆与该深混合层带之间的海域混合层常年较浅。全球障碍层呈"哑铃状"分布,两半球的高纬度海区是障碍层高发区,障碍层不仅厚且持续时间长,以半年为周期变化,南大洋60°S附近海域显著的厚障碍层带随季节变化;南半球中低纬度海区长期存在障碍层,障碍层冬厚夏薄,且厚度大部分不超过40 m。     

赤道东印度洋和孟加拉湾障碍层厚度的年际变化及其影响机制

Interannual variability(IAV) in the barrier layer thickness(BLT) and forcing mechanisms in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean(EEIO) and Bay of Bengal(BoB) are examined using monthly Argo data sets during 2002–2017. The BLT during November–January(NDJ) in the EEIO shows strong IAV, which is associated with the Indian Ocean dipole mode(IOD), with the IOD leading the BLT by two months. During the negative IOD phase, the westerly wind anomalies driving the downwelling Kelvin waves increase the isothermal layer depth(ILD). Moreover, the variability in the mixed layer depth(MLD) is complex. Affected by the Wyrtki jet, the MLD presents negative anomalies west of 85°E and strong positive anomalies between 85°E and 93°E. Therefore, the BLT shows positive anomalies except between 86°E and 92°E in the EEIO. Additionally, the IAV in the BLT during December–February(DJF) in the BoB is also investigated. In the eastern and northeastern BoB, the IAV in the BLT is remotely forced by equatorial zonal wind stress anomalies associated with the El Ni?o-Southern Oscillation(ENSO). In the western BoB, the regional surface wind forcing-related ENSO modulates the BLT variations.     

热带太平洋上层洋流异常的复EOF分析

采用复EOF分析方法,对全年热带太平洋海域的上层洋流异常做了统计动力诊断,主要结论有:热带太平洋上层洋流异常复EOF分解第一、二模态的空间场均为赤道所俘获,并在赤道南北方向均呈迅速衰减的态势,其表现为赤道陷波的形式。第一、二模态时间系数为复数,其辐角均集中在两个状态,其模则表示了流场异常的大小。该时间系数均有年际变化和年代际变化,其年际变化的周期均与ENSO相同;在冬季,其年代际变化周期分别与北太平洋主要气候模态PDO和NPGO,以及热带外北太平洋流场异常复EOF分解前两模态的周期相同或相近,这反映了热带与中纬度各大气、海洋系统之间的相互耦合。由各模态流场异常可得相应的垂直运动异常,从而可估计SSTA的动力变化;第一模态在赤道东、西太平洋处呈现东西向的跷跷板变化;第二模态则在西太平洋赤道上以及其北侧的西太平洋暖池处,呈现南北向的跷跷板变化。第一模态的性质为海洋赤道Kelvin波的异常,可称之为ENSO的主要模态;第二模态的性质为海洋混合Rossby-重力惯性波的异常,可称之为ENSO的次要模态。     

热带太平洋海区混沌特征分析

基于 TOGA- TAO锚定于热带太平洋海区的 53个浮标站 1994年冬季海表温度 ( SST)资料 ,采用多种分析非线性动力系统的方法。如谱分析 ,相空间重构法等 ,以及计算描述混沌行为的重要指标 ,如分维数、L yapunov指数等 ,对热带太平洋是否存在混沌现象进行判别分析。发现在热带太平洋 130°W至 12 0°W之间存在强混沌区 ,在西边界附近也存在混沌区。但通过吸引子的相型可以看出热带东太平洋与西太平洋是不同性质的非线性动力系统 ,导致系统出现混沌现象的原因可能是不同的。     

热带太平洋海面高度年代际变化的研究

采用SODA海面高度(SSH)数据研究热带太平洋海域的年代际变化.结果表明,热带太平洋海面高度场存在与太平洋年代际涛动(PDO)时间过程基本一致的年代际变化,但是SSH异常的空间分布与SST异常的是不同的.热带海域年代际变化的典型空间分布:海面高度异常在热带海域存在东西方向的反向变化,在西太平洋只有1个变化中心,而在东太平洋形成2个对称于赤道的变化中心.热带太平洋海面高度的年代际变化有2个基本周期:13 a左右的周期和30 a以上时间尺度的气候转型周期.其中13 a周期的年代际变化与ENSO年际过程无关,是热带太平洋年代际变化的重要组成部分.由于数据时间长度的限制,气候转型的时间尺度还不明确,也不清楚其是否有明显的周期性.比较热带东西太平洋年代际变化的特征,可以发现以气候转型期的年代际信号在东西太平洋几乎是同时发生的,而13 a左右周期的年代际信号在赤道附近却存在自西向东方向的传播.     

热带太平洋5月份海气联合动力统计诊断

利用复EOF分析,将热带太平洋5月份的大气风场和海洋上层流场看作1个整体,对其作了动力统计诊断,用以揭示热带太平洋5月份大气、海洋环流异常与长江流域梅雨丰欠的关系并考察其年际和年代际变化.诊断结果表明:在同一EOF模态中,大气部分和海洋部分的结构有很大不同,海洋模态表现出较强的赤道陷波特征;在南、北纬5°之外,海洋流场已大幅衰减掉了,而大气风场该现象不明显.EOF第1模态模的时间系数振幅从1994年起增大趋势明显,这表明气候变化剧烈程度在加大;前2个EOF模态的时间系数均具有明显的年际和年代际变化.EOF第1模态为长江流域梅雨丰欠异常模态,大气存在经圈环流异常.EOF第2模态为ENSO模态,大气存在纬圈环流异常.黑潮因处5°N以北,已离开赤道,故其流速虽大,但流场偏差则很小,即其流速异常不明显.     

太平洋海浪场时空特征分析

为了深入了解太平洋海浪场特别是涌浪场的时空分布特征,利用44 a(1958~2001年)ERA-40海浪再分析资料对南、北太平洋风浪和涌浪的波高和波向进行了统计分析,结果表明:北太平洋海浪场比南太平洋具有更明显的季节变化特征,四季中南太平洋涌浪均有明显的越赤道北传过程.南、北半球西风带海浪波高随时间呈线性增长趋势,且涌浪分别存在2.4~3.7 a 和2.9 a 左右的显著周期,风浪和混合浪波高存在6.5 a 和5.2 a 的共同周期     

热带太平洋冬季海面气象特征分析

本文主要根据1985—1986年冬季热带太平洋大面积海洋气象调查资料,初步分析了热带太平洋中、西部海区海面气象要素基本特征。指出热带太平洋海面气象要素随经度而变化的规律性是比较明显的。一般是以170°E为界,其东、西两侧变化趋势基本相反,离开赤道越远,要素的经向变化越显著,在赤道上要素的经向变化最小。并指出北太平洋副热带高压及西太平洋赤道辐合带是形成上述规律的主要原因。     

Oceanic barrier layer variation induced by tropical cyclones in the Northwest Pacific

According to Argo profiles and one-dimensional Price-Weller-Pinkel models, the oceanic barrier layer variation induced by tropical cyclones is adequately analyzed in the Northwest Pacific. Results show that tropical cyclones mainly aff ect the oceanic barrier layer through intensifying and weakening pre-existed barrier layer. The former even may generate new one after tropical cyclones’ passage. The latter can make pre-existed one disappear. Local wind stress and precipitation, the dominant factors, primarily determine the variation of barrier layer. Negative eff ects of wind mainly focus on the north of 20°N. This phenomenon is more meaningful for slow tropical cyclones. Conversely, positive eff ects of wind and precipitation center on the south of 20°N in the Northwest Pacific. Some data indicate that the barrier layer variation is also closely related with initial mixed layer depth and barrier layer thickness.     

赤道东印度洋和孟加拉湾障碍层厚度的季节内和准半年变化

利用2002—2015年ARGO网格化的温度、盐度数据, 结合卫星资料揭示了赤道东印度洋和孟加拉湾障碍层厚度的季节内和准半年变化特征, 探讨了其变化机制。结果表明, 障碍层厚度变化的两个高值区域出现在赤道东印度洋和孟加拉湾北部。在赤道区域, 障碍层同时受到等温层和混合层变化的影响, 5—7月和11—1月受西风驱动, Wyrtki急流携带阿拉伯海的高盐水与表层的淡水形成盐度层结, 同时西风驱动的下沉Kelvin波加深了等温层, 混合层与等温层分离, 障碍层形成。在湾内, 充沛的降雨和径流带来的大量淡水产生很强的盐度层结, 混合层全年都非常浅, 障碍层季节内变化和准半年变化主要受等温层深度变化的影响。上述两个区域障碍层变化存在关联, 季节内和准半年周期的赤道纬向风驱动的波动过程是它们存在联系的根本原因。赤道东印度洋地区的西风(东风)强迫出向东传的下沉(上升)的Kelvin波, 在苏门答腊岛西岸转变为沿岸Kelvin波向北传到孟加拉湾的东边界和北边界, 并且在缅甸的伊洛瓦底江三角洲顶部(95°E, 16°N)激发出向西的Rossby波, 造成湾内等温层深度的正(负)异常, 波动传播的速度决定了湾内的变化过程滞后于赤道区域1~2个月。     

Seasonal variation in the upper layer thickness of the tropical Pacific ocean model

Seasonal variation in the tropical Pacific is studied by use of climatological monthly mean data of upper layer thickness of a linear reduced-gravity model with realistic basin geometry. Complex empirical orthogonal function (CEOF) analysis is applied to the data on a closed circuit which consists of the equator, eastern boundary, 7° latitude, and western boundary. The first and second CEOF represent the annual and semiannual variations, respectively. At the equator, absolute maximum anomalies associated with the first CEOF can be found near 160°W in spring and fall. Westward propagation of the annual variation is remarkable west of 130°W. However, similar westward propagation cannot be detected in either the eastern or western part of the equator. Maximum anomalies at 7° and the equator can be found in similar longitude and time. These maxima at both latitudes originate from the annual variation of Ekman pumping associated with the meridional movement of wind fields. We also decomposed the model results into Kelvin and Rossby modes. The Kelvin mode is characterized by seminnual variation, while first and third-mode Rossby waves have annual variations. In the present results, first and third-mode Rossby waves do not appear to be a trigger for Kelvin waves.     

浅地层剖面资料处理中的地层厚度校正（英文）

浅地层剖面测量是海洋工程勘察、灾害地质调查和大陆架海洋地质科学研究的重要手段,资料解译的准确程度将对地质调查和研究成果的可靠性造成直接影响。由于发收分置型浅地层剖面仪的激发装置与接收装置是分开的,当调查区域的水深过浅时,将其近似为自激自收的单道地震系统会导致地层的畸变,水深越浅地层畸变率越大。根据浅地层剖面仪的基本原理,推导出了浅部地层厚度畸变校正公式,为用C-View软件更准确地解译此类浅地层剖面资料提供了参考。海底沉积物的声速直接影响浅地层剖面地层厚度解译的准确性,利用卢博等建立的适用于中国东南近海的声速经验公式,在某人工岛构造调查中,根据地质钻孔获取的孔隙度参数计算各沉积层的平均声速,建立相应的声速结构剖面,对地层厚度进行校正,取得较好的效果,用孔隙度预测声速的方法参数容易获取,能够提高浅地层剖面资料的解译精度,使地层的厚度更接近于实际,具有一定的实用意义。     

Full-range equation for wave boundary layer thickness

Full-range equation covering all the flow regimes in a wave boundary layer is proposed for the boundary layer thickness. The results are compared with the available experimental data and good agreement has been found. In case of wave boundary layers, there are three definitions of boundary layer thickness in use. Therefore, the full-range equation is derived for three of the definitions. The findings of this study may be useful in calculating suspended sediment transport in coastal environments and studying wave–current combined motion.     

Physical mechanism and numerical simulations of surface layer temperature inversion in tropical ocean

1 Introduction Ocean upper mixed layer, with nearly uniform temperature, salinity and density, is formed by sea sur- face forces such as wind stress, buoyancy flux and sur- face waves, etc. Under the mixed layer, thermocline and halocline often exist. Usually the depth of them is almost equal. But in the tropical ocean, the halocline is often shallower than the thermocline. Then between the layer of uniform salinity and the thermocline, there is a layer which has a rather strong density gradi…     

Interannual variability of mixed layer depth and heat storage of upper layer in the tropical Pacific Ocean

By using the upper layer data(downloaded from the web of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography ),the interannual variability of the heat storage of upper layer(from surface to 400 m depth) and the mixed layer depth in the tropical Pacific Ocean are investigated. The abnormal signal of the warm event comes from the central and west Pacific Ocean, whereas it is regarded that the abnormal signal of the warm event comes from the east Pacific Ocean in the popular viewpoint. From the viewpoint on the evolution of the interannual variability of the mixed layer depth and the heat storage of the whole upper layer, the difference between the two types of E1Nino is so small that it can be neglected. During these two E1Nino/La Nina events( 1972/1973 and 1997/1998), other than the case of the heat storage or for the mixed layer depth, the abnormal signal propagates from the central and west Pacific Ocean to the east usually by the path along the equator whereas the abnormal signal propagates from the east to the west by the path northern to the equator. For the interannual variability, the evolution of the mixed layer depth corresponds to that of the heat storage in the upper layer very well. This is quite different from the evolution of seasonality.     

Mobile layer thickness in sheet flow beneath random waves

The erosion depth and the sheet flow layer thickness represent two characteristic parameters for transport processes in oscillatory sheet flow. Formulas for these parameters under regular waves have been applied to obtain characteristic statistical values under random waves. The applicability of the method for practical purposes is illustrated by two examples using data typical for field conditions at water depths of 70 m (Ekofisk location in the North Sea) and 15 m, respectively. Two fictive storms based on the Dohmen-Janssen and Hanes [Dohmen-Janssen, C.M., Hanes, D.M., 2005. Sheet flow and suspended sediment due to wave groups in a large wave flume. Cont. Shelf Res. 25, 333–347] data from large scale wave flume tests have also been utilized to demonstrate how the return period of the sheet flow layer thickness observed in their experiments can be estimated.     

Response of the upper ocean to tropical cyclone in the Northwest Pacific observed by gliders during fall 2018

The evolution of thermohaline structure at the upper ocean during three tropical cyclones(TCs) in the Northwest Pacific was studied in this study based on successive observation by two new-style underwater gliders during fall 2018. These remote-controllable gliders with CTD sensor enabled us to explore high frequency responses of temperature, salinity, mixed and barrier layers in the upper ocean to severe TCs in this area. Results showed that three significant cooling-to-warming and stratification destructing-to-reconstructing processes at the mixed layer occurred during the lives of three TCs. The maximal cooling of SST all reached ≥0.5℃ although TCs with different intensities had different minimal distances to the observed area. Under potential impacts of solar radiation, tide and inertial motions, the mixed layer depth possessed significant high-frequency fluctuations during TC periods.In addition, barrier layers appeared and vanished quickly during TCs, accompanied with varied temperature inversion processes.
