Abstract

The data collected in the course of the drifter experiment within the Rim Current zone allowed preliminary estimates of the thermocline response to a changing current velocity. It was found that an increase in the Rim Current velocity leads to deepening of the seasonal thermocline with a simultaneous decrease in its thickness and an increase in its temperature gradient. A decrease in the Rim Current velocity causes a rise in the thermocline to shallower depths, accompanied by an increase in its thickness and a decrease in its temperature gradient. Considerations on a possible mechanism of such a process are presented.

黑海边缘电流范围内的跃层特征的变化

摘要

在“环流”区域内进行漂移实验的过程中收集的数据可以初步估算出跃迁对电流速度变化的响应。已经发现，环流速度的增加导致季节性热跃层的加深，同时其厚度减小并且温度梯度增大。轮缘电流速度的降低导致热跃层上升到更浅的深度，同时伴有其厚度的增加和温度梯度的减小。提出了有关此过程可能机制的考虑。
