摘要(Abstract):
【目的】西南太平洋中尺度涡旋过程十分活跃,其涡动能占据海洋中绝大部分能量,本研究探究该海域涡动能时空变异的调控机制。【方法】从原始能量方程出发,基于1991―2017年ECCO2数据和1993―2018年SLA数据进行涡动能(EKE)时空变异分析,包括EKE的季节变化分析和年际变化分析。【结果和结论】季节变化分析中,发现该海域EKE水平分布在12―3月份呈现低值、垂向影响深度较浅,而6―8月份的水平分布呈现高值、垂向影响深度较深。将西南太平洋EKE高值区域划分为3个区域,即A区域(150°―160°E/28°―36°S),B区域(150°―160°E/28°―32°S)与C区域(150°―160°E/32°―36°S)。从能量方程出发,对于EKE和正压转换、斜压转换以及对风应力做功进行相关分析。基于EKE季节变异与影响因素的超前-滞后的相关性分析,发现BT是EKE季节变化的主要调控因子,其中,A、C区域分别有0.70和0.58的相关度滞后BT 1个月,B区域有0.53相关度与BT同期变化。针对EKE的年际变化,进行Nino3.4指数、南半球环状模指数以及水平流速垂向剪切信号与EKE年际变化信号的超前滞后相关分析,发现EKE年际变化有0.57的正相关度滞后6个月于Nino3.4指数变化,表明厄尔尼诺事件是该海域EKE年际变化的主要调控因素,而流速剪切信号在二者中起到桥梁作用。
