西太平洋上层海洋温度结构对台风响应的合成分析

Synthetic analysis of the response of the upper ocean temperature structure in the Western Pacific to typhoon

  • 摘要: 本文基于COAWST(coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave sediment transport modeling system,COAWST)模型模拟了2008-2018年发生于西太平洋的90个台风过程,结合Argo(array for real-time geostrophic oceanography,Argo)实测数据,利用数理统计方法研究了海洋上层温度对台风过境的响应特征。研究表明,台风过境时,海温响应在时间上存在滞后性;在空间上,次表层以上海温响应表现出右偏性,而次表层以下表现为中偏性,即路径中心异常大于两侧。台风过境对海洋表层温度(sea surface temperature,SST)造成的平均降幅为0.5 ℃~1 ℃,平均最大降温可达2 ℃,位于路径右侧50~150 km处。垂向上,台风路径中心海域温度对台风过境的响应表现为负异常,路径左右两侧的响应表现为3层结构,即0~50 m浅层为海温负异常响应,50~125 m次表层为海温正异常响应,125 m以下均为负异常,300 m以下海域,风致降温效应随着海域与台风路径中心的距离增大而减小,直至减小为0 ℃。分析认为,台风的“热泵”效应是台风路径两侧次表层水体增温的主要原因,而“冷抽吸”作用抑制了次表层水体的进一步降温。

     

    Abstract: In this study, 90 typhoon processes occurred in the western Pacific during 2008-2018 were simulated using the COAWST (coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave sediment transport modeling system) model. Based on these simulations and combined with Argo observations, a composite analysis method was utilized to statistically examine the response characteristics of ocean water temperature to typhoon transit. The research found that when a typhoon passed through, the response of sea surface temperature (SST) was delayed. And, in space, temperature change above the subsurface layer exhibited a right bias, while the temperature change below the subsurface layer exhibited a middle bias, indicating that the path center anomaly was greater than the two sides. The average SST anomalies caused by typhoon transit was 0.5 ℃~1 ℃, with a maximum value of up to 2 ℃, which was located at about 50~150 km to the right of the path. Vertically, the water temperature anomaly response in the core of typhoon path was negative. Furthermore, the response on the left and right sides of the path showed a three-layer structure, with temperatures in the 0~50 m shallow layer being negative anomalies; in the 50~125 m subsurface layer being positive anomalies; in the layer below 125 m being negative anomalies. In the area deeper than 300 m, the wind-induced cooling effect decreased up to 0 ℃ as the distance from the path center increased. The “heat pump” effect of typhoon was the primary cause of the temperature increase of the subsurface layer water on both sides of typhoon path, while the “cold suction” inhibited the further cooling of the subsurface layer water.
