It is shown that GPE source and sink is too big, and they are not closely linked to physical property distribution, such as temperature, salinity and velocity. Although the most frequently quoted advantage of sigma coordinate models are their capability of dealing with topography; the exces sive amount of GPE source and sink due to stirring and cabbeling associated with sigma diffusion/advec tion diagnosed from our analysis raises a very serious question whether the way lateral diffusion/advection simulated in the sigma coordinates model is physically acceptable. GPE source and sink in three coordinates is dramatically different in their magnitude and patterns. Overall, in terms of simulating lateral eddy diffu sion and advection isopycnal coordinates is the best choice and sigma coordinates is the worst. The physical reason of the excessive GPE source and sink in sigma coordinates is further explored in details. However, even in the isopycnal coordinates, simulation based on the Eulerian coordinates can be contaminated by the numerical errors associated with the advection terms.展开更多

An underwater acoustic modeI-MMPE was used to simulate the acoustic propagation under the influence of different types, different intensities and positions of eddies, and different frequencies and depths of sources. It is found that warm-core eddy can make the convergence zone ＂move back＂ and the width of it increases, while cold-core eddy can make the convergence zone ＂move forward＂ and the width of it decreases. The bigger the intensity of eddy, the more notable the ＂forward ＂or ＂back ＂effect. Sound source located depths and source frequencies can change the acoustic propagation characteristics in the eddy area.展开更多

The summer EASJ axis features a significant interannual coherent meridional displacement. Associated with such a meridional displacement, the TE vorticity forcing anomalies are characterized by a meridional dipole pattern asymmetric about the climatological EASJ axis. The TE vorticity forcing anomalies yield barotropic zonal wind tendencies with a phase meridionally lead- ing the zonal wind anomalies, suggesting that they act to reinforce further meridional displacement of the EASJ and favor a positive feedback in the TE and time-mean flow interaction. However, The TE thermal forcing anomalies induce baroclinic zonal wind tendencies that reduce the vertical shear of zonal wind and atmospheric baroclinicity and eventually suppress the TE activity, favoring a negative feedback in the TE and time-mean flow interaction. Although the two types of TE forcing tend to have opposite feedback roles, the TE vorticity forcing appears to be dominant in the TE effect on the time-mean flow.展开更多

Eddy diffusion and advection lead to changes in den sity; as a result, gravitational potential energy of the system is changed. Therefore, cabbeling and elasticity play key roles in the energetics of lateral eddy diffusion and advection. Vertical eddy diffusion is one of the key elements in the mechanical energy balance of the global oceans. Vertical eddy diffusion can be con ceptually separated into two steps： stirring and subscale diffusion. Vertical eddy stirring pushes cold/dense water upward and warm/light water downward; thus, gravitational potential energy is increased. During the second steps, water masses from different places mix through subscale diffusion, and water density is increased due to cabbeling. UsingWOA01 climatology and assuming the vertical eddy diffusivity is equal to a constant value of 2x103 pa2/s, the total amount of gravitational potential energy increase due to vertical stirring in the world oceans is estimated at 263 GW. Cabbeling associated with vertical subscale diffusion is a sink of gravitational potential energy, and the total value of energy lost is estimated at 73 GW. Therefore, the net source of gravitational potential energy due to vertical eddy diffusion for the world oceans is estimated at 189 GW.展开更多

文摘The coastal ocean west of Guangdong Province(refers to Yuexi)is characterized as wide and shallow continental shelf,and connected to the Beibu Gulf through the Qiongzhou Strait(as shown in Fig.1).The circulation pattern is complicated,controlled by the East Asian monsoon,tides,buoyancy forcing,and topography.In general,the mean cur-rent on the shelf flows southwestward in winter and northeastward in summer,while the coastal current flows always southwestward in summer(Yang et al.,2003;Shu et al.,2018).

文摘The air-sea interactions with the submesoscale warm filament of the oceanic mixed layer are simulated by a coupled atmosphere-ocean model of the parallelized lager eddy simulation model.The results show that the warm core of the oceanic warm filament heats the bottom air of the atmospheric boundary layer,the rise of the bottom warm air results in the formation of the atmospheric warm filament.The variation in the width of the oceanic warm filament is generated by the change in the direction of the secondary circulations.The variation in the width of the atmospheric warm filament is created by that of the oceanic warm filament,because the direction of the secondary circulations of the atmospheric warm filament is invariable with time.The Coriolis effect results in the change in the direction of the secondary circulations for the oceanic warm filament.The secondary circulations of the atmospheric warm filament are produced by the rise of the bottom warm air caused by the oceanic warm filament,which leads to the unchanged direction of the secondary circulations.The thermal convection turbulence caused by the temperature difference of the ocean and atmosphere gradually weakens the structure of the oceanic and atmospheric warm filaments.

文摘In high-risk industrial environments like nuclear power plants,precise defect identification and localization are essential for maintaining production stability and safety.However,the complexity of such a harsh environment leads to significant variations in the shape and size of the defects.To address this challenge,we propose the multivariate time series segmentation network(MSSN),which adopts a multiscale convolutional network with multi-stage and depth-separable convolutions for efficient feature extraction through variable-length templates.To tackle the classification difficulty caused by structural signal variance,MSSN employs logarithmic normalization to adjust instance distributions.Furthermore,it integrates classification with smoothing loss functions to accurately identify defect segments amid similar structural and defect signal subsequences.Our algorithm evaluated on both the Mackey-Glass dataset and industrial dataset achieves over 95%localization and demonstrates the capture capability on the synthetic dataset.In a nuclear plant's heat transfer tube dataset,it captures 90%of defect instances with75%middle localization F1 score.

文摘The inversion of ocean subsurface temperature and salinity(TS)is a hot topic and challenging problem in the oceanic sciences.In this study,a new method for the inversion of underwater TS in the South China Sea is proposed based on an improved generative adversarial network(GAN).The proposed model can derive the underwater TS from sea surface data(specifically,sea surface temperature and the sea surface height anomalies)with an eddy-resolving horizontal resolution of(1/12)°.For comparison,a robust statistics-based model,the Modular Ocean Data Assimilation System(MODAS),is also used to invert the subsurface TS in this study.Results show that the root-mean-square errors(RMSEs)of the TS inversions from the GAN-based model are significantly smaller than those from MODAS,especially in the thermocline of the South China Sea,where the RMSE of temperature can be reduced by up to 21.7%and the subsurface salinity RMSE is smaller than 0.32.In particular,the inversion results obtained using the proposed model are more accurate in either the seasonalscale or the synoptic-scale analysis.Firstly,the GAN-based model is more effective for the seasonal-scale extraction and diagnosis of the subsurface stratification,especially in the Luzon Strait and coastal shelf sea areas,in which stronger nonlinearities arise from the Kuroshio intrusion or complex coastal processes dominate the ocean subsurface dynamics.Secondly,the vertical heat pump and cold suction effects in the ocean's upper layers induced by the passage of a typhoon can be reflected more reasonably based on the synoptic-scale analysis with the proposed model.Furthermore,the underwater 3D structure of mesoscale eddies can be skillfully captured by AIGAN(Attention and Inception GAN),which can extract more refined eddy patterns with stronger recognition capability compared with the statistics-based MODAS.The present study can be extended to further explore the subsurface characteristics of the internal variability in the South China Sea.

文摘In recent years,research investigations have focused on the substantial freshwater storage in the Beaufort Gyre(BG)region due to climate change.Despite active mesoscale eddies in the area,a notable gap in understanding the three-dimensional structure and induced transport has been observed.This study concentrates on the Canada Basin in the western Arctic Ocean,specifically examining a subsurface anticyclonic eddy(SAE)sampled by a Mooring A in the BG region.Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model(HYCOM)analysis data reveal its lifecycle from February 15 to March 15,2017,marked by initiation,development,maturity,decay,and termination stages.This work extends the finding of SAE passing through Mooring A by examining its overall effects,spatiotemporal variations,and swirl transport.SAE generation through baroclinic instability,which contributes to the westward tilt of the vertical axis,is also confirmed in this study.Swirl transport induced by SAE is predominantly eastward and downward due to its trajectory and background flow.SAE temporarily weakens stratification and extends the subsurface depth but demonstrates transient effects.Moreover,SAE transports upper-layer freshwater,Pacific Winter Water,and Atlantic Water downward,emphasizing its potential influence on freshwater redistribution in the Canadian Basin.This research provides valuable insights into mesoscale eddy dynamics,revealing their role in modulating the upper water mass in the BG region.

文摘Urban areas are the major anthropogenic source of atmospheric CO_(2),thus making longterm and continuous observations of their carbon emission dynamics extremely important.The COVID-19 lockdown served as a natural experiment that provided a unique opportunity to analyse the contribution of human activities to CO_(2) emissions from urban areas.In 2020,Beijing experienced COVID-19 confinement with different levels of restrictions on social mobility and economic activity,resulting in reductions in CO_(2) emissions.To investigate the response mechanisms of CO_(2) flux to restriction measures,we analysed CO_(2) flux data obtained using the eddy covariance technique from 2015 to 2020,and compared CO_(2) flux during the COVID-19 confinement period in 2020 with the preceding years(2015-2019)and across various levels of confinement.The results showed that:(1)the annual CO_(2) flux was 2.1±0.2 kg C/(m^(2)·yr)in 2020,which showed a significant reduction of 31.8%compared to the adjacent 2019;(2)the reduction in CO_(2) flux was closely related to the level of restrictions on human activities;(3)most reductions occurred during the morning(85.7%)and evening(32.7%)peak traffic times,indicating that commuting-related transportation is a primary contributor to urban CO_(2) emissions.It is suggested that measures that reduce transportation-related CO_(2) sources should be considered as priorities for reducing urban CO_(2) emissions.The dynamic variation of urban CO_(2) flux captured by the eddy covariance technology is conductive to strengthening the supervision of the implementation of urban carbon emission reduction policies,promoting the achievement of dual carbon goals.

文摘This paper investigates the influence of numerical methods and mesh resolution on the prediction accuracy of the aerodynamic behaviors of a 1/20 scaled generic high-speed train(HST)model.A thorough comparison is made between partially averaged Navier-Stokes(PANS),large eddy simulation(LES),and wind tunnel experiments,covering aerodynamic forces,surface pressure,velocity distribution,and Reynolds stress and turbulent kinetic energy in the wake region.The Reynolds number for both simulations and experiments is set to 4.75×10^(5).The results show that the PANS approach accurately predicts flow characteristics observed in experiments and fine LES calculations,even with a low resolution grid.PANS exhibits a distinct advantage over LES when grid resolutions are insufficient for resolving near wall flow structures around the HST,both in open-air conditions and crosswind environments.Additionally,grid refinement improves the predictive accuracy of the HST's aerodynamic performance,particularly in the presence of small yaw angle.
文摘Gravitational potential energy （GPE） source and sink due to stirring and cabbeling associated with sigma dif fusion/ advection is analyzed. It is shown that GPE source and sink is too big, and they are not closely linked to physical property distribution, such as temperature, salinity and velocity. Although the most frequently quoted advantage of sigma coordinate models are their capability of dealing with topography; the exces sive amount of GPE source and sink due to stirring and cabbeling associated with sigma diffusion/advec tion diagnosed from our analysis raises a very serious question whether the way lateral diffusion/advection simulated in the sigma coordinates model is physically acceptable. GPE source and sink in three coordinates is dramatically different in their magnitude and patterns. Overall, in terms of simulating lateral eddy diffu sion and advection isopycnal coordinates is the best choice and sigma coordinates is the worst. The physical reason of the excessive GPE source and sink in sigma coordinates is further explored in details. However, even in the isopycnal coordinates, simulation based on the Eulerian coordinates can be contaminated by the numerical errors associated with the advection terms.

文摘Aiming at the influence of ocean mesoscale eddy on underwater acoustic propagation, a theoretical computation model of ocean mesoscale eddy was established based on the in-situ hydrographic data in the sea area of ocean mesoscale eddy. An underwater acoustic modeI-MMPE was used to simulate the acoustic propagation under the influence of different types, different intensities and positions of eddies, and different frequencies and depths of sources. It is found that warm-core eddy can make the convergence zone ＂move back＂ and the width of it increases, while cold-core eddy can make the convergence zone ＂move forward＂ and the width of it decreases. The bigger the intensity of eddy, the more notable the ＂forward ＂or ＂back ＂effect. Sound source located depths and source frequencies can change the acoustic propagation characteristics in the eddy area.

文摘The Argo data are used to calculate eddy（turbulence） heat transport（EHT） in the global ocean and analyze its horizontal distribution and vertical structure.We calculate the EHT by averaging all the v ′,T ′ profiles within each 2 ×2 bin.The velocity and temperature anomalies are obtained by removing their climatological values from the Argo ＂instantaneous＂ values respectively.Through the Student＇s t-test and an error evaluation,we obtained a total of 87% Argo bins with significant depth-integrated EHTs（D-EHTs）.The results reveal a positive-and-negative alternating D-EHT pattern along the western boundary currents（WBC） and Antarctic Circumpolar Current（ACC）.The zonally-integrated D-EHT（ZI-EHT） of the global ocean reaches 0.12 PW in the northern WBC band and –0.38 PW in the ACC band respectively.The strong ZI-EHT across the ACC in the global ocean is mainly caused by the southern Indian Ocean.The ZI-EHT in the above two bands accounts for a large portion of the total oceanic heat transport,which may play an important role in regulating the climate.The analysis of vertical structures of the EHT along the 35 N and 45 S section reveals that the oscillating EHT pattern can reach deep in the northern WBC regions and the Agulhas Return Current（ARC） region.It also shows that the strong EHT could reach 600 m in the WBC regions and 1 000 m in the ARC region,with the maximum mainly located between 100 and 400 m depth.The results would provide useful information for improving the parameterization scheme in models.

文摘Using ERA-40 reanalysis daily data for the period 1958-2002, this study investigated the effect of tran- sient eddy （TE） on the interannual meridional displacement of summer East Asian subtropical jet （EASJ） by conducting a detailed dynamical diagnosis. The summer EASJ axis features a significant interannual coherent meridional displacement. Associated with such a meridional displacement, the TE vorticity forcing anomalies are characterized by a meridional dipole pattern asymmetric about the climatological EASJ axis. The TE vorticity forcing anomalies yield barotropic zonal wind tendencies with a phase meridionally lead- ing the zonal wind anomalies, suggesting that they act to reinforce further meridional displacement of the EASJ and favor a positive feedback in the TE and time-mean flow interaction. However, The TE thermal forcing anomalies induce baroclinic zonal wind tendencies that reduce the vertical shear of zonal wind and atmospheric baroclinicity and eventually suppress the TE activity, favoring a negative feedback in the TE and time-mean flow interaction. Although the two types of TE forcing tend to have opposite feedback roles, the TE vorticity forcing appears to be dominant in the TE effect on the time-mean flow.
文摘Two important nonlinear properties of seawater thermodynamics linked to changes of water density, cab beling and elasticity （compressibility）, are discussed. Eddy diffusion and advection lead to changes in den sity; as a result, gravitational potential energy of the system is changed. Therefore, cabbeling and elasticity play key roles in the energetics of lateral eddy diffusion and advection. Vertical eddy diffusion is one of the key elements in the mechanical energy balance of the global oceans. Vertical eddy diffusion can be con ceptually separated into two steps： stirring and subscale diffusion. Vertical eddy stirring pushes cold/dense water upward and warm/light water downward; thus, gravitational potential energy is increased. During the second steps, water masses from different places mix through subscale diffusion, and water density is increased due to cabbeling. UsingWOA01 climatology and assuming the vertical eddy diffusivity is equal to a constant value of 2x103 pa2/s, the total amount of gravitational potential energy increase due to vertical stirring in the world oceans is estimated at 263 GW. Cabbeling associated with vertical subscale diffusion is a sink of gravitational potential energy, and the total value of energy lost is estimated at 73 GW. Therefore, the net source of gravitational potential energy due to vertical eddy diffusion for the world oceans is estimated at 189 GW.
