南海西边界流场的时空变化特征及其与ENSO循环的关系

A study on the temporal and spatial characteristics of the South China Sea western boundary current and its relationship with ENSO cycle

  • 摘要: 利用SODA同化数据、卫星高度计反演的地转流数据及ICOADS风场资料,刻画了南海西边界 流场的三维结构,并着重探讨了中南半岛附近的南海西边界流年际变化特征与ENSO循环的关系。 研究结果表明:以经向流速10cm/s界定中南半岛西边界流的核心边界,按此标准其核心区水平方 向上为中南半岛沿岸至111°E附近,垂向为200m以浅.分析发现12.25°N断面西边界流流量的年 际变化与ENSO呈显著正相关,流量滞后ENS05个月时相关系数最高,达0.38(超过99%置信度).受ENSO期间季风变异影响,和正常年份相比,合成EI Nino事件的发展期(7月)-强盛期(12 月)-消亡期(次年7月),中南半岛近岸的西边界流呈现增强-减弱-减弱态势;而合成La Nina事件 的发展期(7月)-强盛期(12月)-消亡期(次年7月),西边界流却呈现减弱→增强-南强北弱的态势; 综上,南海西边界流的年际变化,ENSO是主要调控因素.

     

    Abstract: With the current data of SODA,geostrophic current data from the satellite altimeter and wind data of ICOADS,we studied on the three-dimensional structural characteristics of the South China Sea western boundary curent and probed particularly into the interannual variability of the western boundary curent along Indo-Chima Peninsula and its relationship with ENS0.The results showed that the core boundary of western boundary current along Indo-China Peninsula could be definedas where themeridional velocity was at 10 cm/s,then its range was from Indo-ChinaPeninsula offshore to 11°E horizontally and shallower than 200m vertically.The variationof the west- ernboundary current volume transport along 12.25°N section showed noticeable positive correlation with ENSO based on 16 a data.Its maximum corelation value reached 0.38 when volume data lagged the ENSO index 5 months with a more than 99%confidence interval.Affecting by the monsoon anomaly during the ENSO,synthesis EI Nino event,from its expansion stage(Jul)to strong stage(Dec),then to decline stage(Julat the following year),the westem boundary curent along Indo-China Peninsula coresponding showed strengthened to weakened,then to weakened mode.However,at the La Nina event,from its expansion stage(Jul)to strong stage(Dec),then to de- cline stage(Julat the following year),thewestern boundary curent varied from weakened to strengthened,then to strengthened in south and weakened in north.In total,ENSO was the main control factor on the interannual varia- bility oftheSouth China Seawestem boundary current.
