摘要

近惯性波是海洋对台风响应过程中最为重要的能量传递方式之一,其频率随深度的分布会影响近惯性波能量向海洋内部传播的速度。基于台风期间南海西北部的潜标观测资料,对涡度效应和背景流引起的多普勒效应进行分析,发现背景流引起的多普勒效应是近惯性波频率“蓝移”的主要因素,近惯性波频率大于当地惯性频率,并且频率随着深度增加而增加。深度在200 m以浅,背景流多普勒效应为负;深度在200 m左右,多普勒效应趋于0;深度在230~400 m,多普勒效应为正。在230~400 m深度,背景流强度达到最大,其方向与近惯性波传播方向接近,因此由其引起的多普勒正频移也最大,观测结果显示近惯性波频率偏移也最大。该研究对加深海洋对台风响应过程的认识,特别是近惯性波在背景流结构复杂海域(如西边界流区域)的传播具有重要作用。

Abstract

Near-inertial waves (NIWs) play an important role in the response of ocean to typhoon. Their frequency varies with the depth and is the main factor in determining the propagation rate of near-inertial energy to the ocean interior. Based on the observation data from mooring, the factors affecting the blue-shift frequency of NIWs excited by typhoon were investigated in northwestern South China Sea. By analyzing the vorticity effect and Doppler effect caused by background currents, this study suggests that the Doppler effect of background currents was the main factor in the blue-shift frequency of NIWs. As depth increased, inertial wave frequencies increased. Quantitative calculations further demonstrated that within the upper 200 meters, the Doppler effect of the background currents was negative, approaching zero in depth around 200 meters. However, in the depth range of 230 to 400 meters, the Doppler effect became positive. This depth range exhibited the maximum strength of the background currents, with their direction aligned with the propagation direction of inertial waves. Consequently, the positive Doppler shift induced by the background currents was most pronounced. The results of this study are important for improving the understanding of the ocean response to typhoons, especially the propagation of near-inertial waves in areas with complex background current structure (e.g., the western boundary current region).

Inertial‐period oscillations have been observed by numerous investigators at deep‐sea locations ranging from subtropical to polar latitudes. Although observational techniques have favored surface‐layer measurement, there is evidence for the existence of inertial motions at all depths. There is, however, no strong evidence that the amplitude of inertial motions is strongest near the surface. The character of inertial motions has been described more fully by recent observations with moored current meters. Inertial motions have a transient nature, with generation and decay times of a few days. An analysis of the data from a single simple experiment shows that the inertial motions are coherent horizontally over much greater scales than they are coherent vertically. Thus the picture that emerges is one of transient phenomena, of thin vertical extent, and of apparent possible occurrence anywhere in the oceans.

Three autonomous profiling Electromagnetic Autonomous Profiling Explorer (EM-APEX) floats were air deployed one day in advance of the passage of Hurricane Frances (2004) as part of the Coupled Boundary Layer Air–Sea Transfer (CBLAST)-High field experiment. The floats were deliberately deployed at locations on the hurricane track, 55 km to the right of the track, and 110 km to the right of the track. These floats provided profile measurements between 30 and 200 m of in situ temperature, salinity, and horizontal velocity every half hour during the hurricane passage and for several weeks afterward. Some aspects of the observed response were similar at the three locations—the dominance of near-inertial horizontal currents and the phase of these currents—whereas other aspects were different. The largest-amplitude inertial currents were observed at the 55-km site, where SST cooled the most, by about 2.2°C, as the surface mixed layer deepened by about 80 m. Based on the time–depth evolution of the Richardson number and comparisons with a numerical ocean model, it is concluded that SST cooled primarily because of shear-induced vertical mixing that served to bring deeper, cooler water into the surface layer. Surface gravity waves, estimated from the observed high-frequency velocity, reached an estimated 12-m significant wave height at the 55-km site. Along the track, there was lesser amplitude inertial motion and SST cooling, only about 1.2°C, though there was greater upwelling, about 25-m amplitude, and inertial pumping, also about 25-m amplitude. Previously reported numerical simulations of the upper-ocean response are in reasonable agreement with these EM-APEX observations provided that a high wind speed–saturated drag coefficient is used to estimate the wind stress. A direct inference of the drag coefficient CD is drawn from the momentum budget. For wind speeds of 32–47 m s−1, CD ~ 1.4 × 10−3.

Nonlinear interaction between near‐inertial waves (NIWs) and diurnal tides (DTs) after nine typhoons near the Xisha Islands of the northwestern South China Sea (SCS) were investigated using three‐year in situ mooring observation data. It was found that a harmonic wave (f + D1, hereafter referred to as fD1 wave), with a frequency equal to the sum of frequencies of NIWs and DTs (hereafter referred to as f and D1, respectively), was generated via nonlinear interaction between typhoon‐induced NIWs and DTs after each typhoon. The fD1 wave mainly concentrates in the subsurface layer, and is mainly induced by the first component of the vertical nonlinear momentum term, the product of the vertical velocity of DT and vertical shear of near‐inertial current (hereafter referred to as Component 1), in which the vertical shear of the near‐inertial current greatly affects the strength of the fD1 current. The larger the Component 1, the stronger the fD1 currents. The background preexisting mesoscale anticyclonic eddy near the mooring site may also enhance the vertical velocity of DT and thus Component 1, which subsequently facilitates the nonlinear interaction‐induced energy transfer to the fD1 wave and enhances the fD1 currents after the passage of a typhoon.

Near‐inertial internal waves (NIW) excited by storms and cyclones play an essential role in driving turbulent mixing in the thermocline and interior ocean. Storm‐induced mixing may be climatically relevant in regions like the thermocline ridge in the southwestern Indian Ocean, where a shallow thermocline and strong high frequency wind activity enhance the impact of internal gravity wave‐induced mixing on sea surface temperature. The Cirene research cruise in early 2007 collected ship‐borne and mooring vertical profiles in this region under the effect of a developing tropical cyclone. In this paper, we characterize the NIW field and the impact of these waves on turbulent mixing in the upper ocean. NIW packets were identified down to 1000 m, the maximum depth of the measurements. We estimated an NIW vertical energy flux of up to 2.5 mW m−2 within the pycnocline, which represents about 10% of the maximum local wind power input. A non‐negligible fraction of the wind power input is hence potentially available for subsurface mixing. The impact of mixing by internal waves on the upper ocean heat budget was estimated from a fine‐scale mixing parameterization. During the first leg of the cruise (characterized by little NIW activity), the average heating rate due to mixing was ~0.06 °C month−1 in the thermocline (23–24 kg m−3 isopycnals). During the second leg, characterized by strong NIW energy in the thermocline and below, this heating rate increased to 0.42 °C month−1, indicative of increased shear instability along near inertial wave energy pathways.
