摘要:

基于2015年全年多源遥感数据融合的Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis(OSTIA)海表温度数据, 利用最大温度梯度法, 对广东沿岸(20°—23°N, 110°—118°E)海表温度锋面的季节变化及生消机制进行了分析。广东沿岸温度锋面季节变化明显, 冬季强, 夏季弱;粤东温度锋面常年存在, 粤西温度锋面夏季消失;珠江口区域温度锋面与珠江羽状流的扩散路径有关, 即夏季锋面主轴往东北方向延伸, 秋季往西南方向延伸。对比温度锋面与风速的关系, 发现其形成及消失受季风的影响。通过简单的模型实验, 发现季风通过影响锋面两侧的湍流热通量引起锋面强度的变化: 西南(东北)季风带来的暖湿(干冷)空气减弱(增加)了近岸冷水的潜热释放, 导致冷水区温度上升(下降)大于暖水区, 引起锋面消失(生成)。

Abstract:

Based on the Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis (OSTIA) data in 2015, we analyzed the seasonal variation and genesis mechanisms of thermal fronts in Guangdong coastal zone. The Guangdong coastal thermal fronts are strong in winter and weak in summer. In the eastern Guangdong coastal zone, thermal fronts are seen all year round, while in the western Guangdong coastal zone, thermal fronts disappear in summer. In the Pearl River estuary zone, thermal fronts are associated with the Pearl River plumes, which extend east northward in summer and southward in autumn. We suggest wind speed play important roles in the genesis and disappearance of these thermal fronts. Using a simple model, we find that monsoon influences the front strength through air-sea turbulent heat fluxes. Under southwesterly (northeasterly) wind condition, warm and wet (cold and dry) air mass could decrease (increase) the latent heat release near the cold coastal zone, leading to a temperature increase in the cold zone, and finally the front disappears.
