Abstract

Observations and a high-resolution ocean model were utilized to investigate the significant bottom temperature response in the north Yellow Sea (NYS) during the weakening of Typhoon Lekima in August 2019. The cyclonic typhoon winds generated prominent cyclonic currents, with eastward (westward) currents along the southern (northern) coast of the NYS. Concurrently, high sea levels occurred along the northern and southern coasts, whereas low sea levels were present in the central NYS. This sea level pattern persisted for a week after the typhoon's dissipation, maintaining the eastward (westward) currents along the southern (northern) coast. The sustained eastward alongshore current transported warm bottom water along the northern coast of the Shandong Peninsula, resulting in a significant bottom temperature increase over 10°C during 4 days. Simultaneously, the westward alongshore current carried cold water from the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass (YSCWM) along the southern coast of the Liaodong Peninsula, leading to a prominent bottom temperature decrease of 13°C over 6 days. Near-inertial oscillations disturbed the thermocline and created favorable conditions for the bottom warm water advection. Temperature budget analysis further confirmed the dominant role of horizontal temperature advection in these dramatic bottom temperature anomalies. The relatively weaker wind disturbance could still drive strong bottom temperature change in the YSCWM boundary with sharp temperature gradient, which underscores the impact of weaker synoptic weather systems on significant bottom temperature variations in coastal regions with sharp temperature front, which are often ignored compared to much stronger weather events such as typhoons.

观测和模式模拟黄海北部减弱台风期间海底温度的剧烈变化
利用观测资料和高分辨率海洋模型,研究了2019年8月台风利基玛减弱期间黄海北部海底温度的显著响应。气旋式台风产生了显著的气旋流,沿纽约南(北)海岸有东(西)流。同时,北部和南部海岸出现了高海平面,而纽约州中部出现了低海平面。这种海平面模式在台风消散后持续了一周,保持了南(北)海岸的东(西)流。持续的东向岸流输送山东半岛北部海岸暖底水,导致4 d内海底温度显著升高超过10℃。与此同时,西向岸流携带黄海冷水团(YSCWM)的冷水沿辽东半岛南岸移动,导致6 d内海底温度明显下降13℃。近惯性振荡扰动了温跃层,为底层暖水平流创造了有利条件。温度收支分析进一步证实了水平温度平流在这些剧烈的海底温度异常中的主导作用。相对较弱的风扰动仍然可以驱动具有急剧温度梯度的YSCWM边界的强烈底温变化,这突出了较弱的天气天气系统对具有急剧温度锋的沿海地区显著底温变化的影响,而与台风等更强的天气事件相比,这种影响往往被忽视。
