This study examined characteristics of near-inertial internal waves (NIWs) associated with the background mesoscale field near the Tsushima Warm Current. Observational stations off Sado Island were visited recurrently to assess spatiotemporal changes of fine-scale and microscale properties of seawater. Also, NIWs were inspected in terms of relative vorticity and total strain in surface geostrophic motion. During summer expeditions in 2019, current and hydrographic surveys at the rim of an anticyclonic eddy provided clear evidence of downward-travelling NIWs, which were most amplified near the depth of lower pycnocline. The amplification of NIW coincided with elevation in the dissipation rates of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and microscale variation of temperature. The fall 2019 expedition found details of wave and turbulence properties associated with the mesoscale structure of paired vortices, where a cyclone and anticyclone were, respectively, adjacent to the east and west. Amplified signals of NIW-related vertical shear and TKE dissipation were found at isopycnals between the dipole cores. From the theoretical perspective of internal wave, the baroclinic term attributable to vertical shear of geostrophic current was interpreted as inducing downward travel of NIW through the lower pycnoclines between the dipole cores. It is also noted that cyclones, passing through the central part of Sea of Japan, can deliver kinetic energy into 10-km scale internal waves as a consequence of interaction between easterly wind and mountainous topography in the Honshu Island.

对马暖流中依赖于中尺度的近惯性内波和微尺度湍流

这项研究检查了与对马暖流附近的背景中尺度场相关的近惯性内波 (NIW) 的特征。多次访问佐渡岛附近的观测站,以评估海水细尺度和微尺度特性的时空变化。此外,还根据地表地转运动中的相对涡度和总应变对 NIW 进行了检查。在 2019 年的夏季探险中,反气旋涡旋边缘的水流和水文调查提供了向下移动的 NIW 的明确证据,这些 NIW 在下密倾斜深度附近被放大最多。NIW 的放大与湍流动能 (TKE) 耗散率的升高和温度的微尺度变化相吻合。2019 年秋季探险队发现了与成对涡旋的中尺度结构相关的波浪和湍流特性的详细信息,其中气旋和反气旋分别与东部和西部相邻。在偶极核之间的等密度处发现了 NIW 相关垂直剪切和 TKE 耗散的放大信号。从内波的理论角度来看,归因于地转流垂直切变的斜压项被解释为诱导 NIW 通过偶极核之间的较低的核斜层向下行进。还应注意的是,由于东风与本州岛山区地形相互作用,穿过日本海中部的气旋可以将动能转化为 10 公里尺度的内波。其中气旋和反气旋分别与东部和西部相邻。在偶极核之间的等密度处发现了 NIW 相关垂直剪切和 TKE 耗散的放大信号。从内波的理论角度来看,归因于地转流垂直切变的斜压项被解释为诱导 NIW 通过偶极核之间的较低的核斜层向下行进。还应注意的是,由于东风与本州岛山区地形相互作用,穿过日本海中部的气旋可以将动能转化为 10 公里尺度的内波。其中气旋和反气旋分别与东部和西部相邻。在偶极核之间的等密度处发现了 NIW 相关垂直剪切和 TKE 耗散的放大信号。从内波的理论角度来看,归因于地转流垂直切变的斜压项被解释为诱导 NIW 通过偶极核之间的较低的核斜层向下行进。还应注意的是,由于东风与本州岛山区地形相互作用,穿过日本海中部的气旋可以将动能转化为 10 公里尺度的内波。在偶极核之间的等密度处发现了 NIW 相关垂直剪切和 TKE 耗散的放大信号。从内波的理论角度来看,归因于地转流垂直切变的斜压项被解释为诱导 NIW 通过偶极核之间的较低的核斜层向下行进。还应注意的是,由于东风与本州岛山区地形相互作用,穿过日本海中部的气旋可以将动能转化为 10 公里尺度的内波。在偶极核之间的等密度处发现了 NIW 相关垂直剪切和 TKE 耗散的放大信号。从内波的理论角度来看,归因于地转流垂直切变的斜压项被解释为诱导 NIW 通过偶极核之间的较低的核斜层向下行进。还应注意的是,由于东风与本州岛山区地形相互作用,穿过日本海中部的气旋可以将动能转化为 10 公里尺度的内波。
