Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of new generation of marine information technology, specifically to measuring distance, level or azimuth, and particularly to an observation and evaluation method for the intensity of ocean upwelling. Background Art
[0002] Upwelling, also known as upwelling current, is a phenomenon in which the surface seawater at the sea surface diverges horizontally, causing the seawater below the surface to rise. In particular, if the surface seawater converges horizontally, causing the seawater to flow vertically downward from the sea surface, it is called downwelling. Upwelling and downwelling are collectively referred to as vertical currents and are important components of ocean circulation. Upwelling usually occurs in coastal areas. Due to the blowing of the wind, the surface seawater is pushed away from the coast, causing the sea surface to drop. To achieve hydrostatic equilibrium, deep seawater compensates and rises, forming an upwelling. Upwelling causes the isopycnal surface to tilt from a horizontal distribution towards the rising side. Upwelling actually corresponds to the vertical velocity of the fluid. The vertical flow direction is upward for upwelling and downward for downwelling.
[0003] Due to the too small vertical flow velocity of seawater, the flow velocity magnitude is usually less than 10 -3 m / s, generally about 10 -4 m / s. This flow velocity magnitude cannot be directly observed in actual ocean observations. Therefore, to describe the intensity of upwelling, several upwelling indices have been developed by predecessors, such as the wind stress index, the wind stress curl index, and even the intensity of upwelling can be defined by the anomaly value of the upwelling sea surface temperature. The specific definition is to use the coastal wind stress, wind stress curl, and the anomaly value of the sea surface temperature to represent the strength of upwelling. These methods are all indirect measures of the strength of upwelling.
[0004] The above indices have certain limitations in actual use. The above data requires data of a certain time length, and this data needs to be downloaded through the Internet, using the wind stress and other data as the data basis for evaluating the intensity of upwelling. In practice, ships are often in a network-free state and cannot use the Internet to download sea surface wind and sea surface temperature data. In the ocean, the ship's crew cannot perceive the intensity of the seawater rising movement, which is not conducive to various ships to carry out relevant decision-making and operations.
[0005] Currently, there is no method to measure the strength of the seawater rising movement in the ocean by only using one cross-section observation data. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for evaluating the intensity of ocean upwelling. In a network-free environment, ships can quickly evaluate the strength of the seawater rising movement in the sea area where they are located through the temperature and salinity profile observation data of several stations on a straight cross-section on the sea surface, and assist them in making corresponding decisions. Summary of the Invention

[0041] In some embodiments, selecting regions with consistent isopleth distributions and calculating the angle between the isopleths and the horizontal line includes: Select two seawater micro-masses of the same volume. The two seawater micro-masses are on the same isopleth, having the same seawater salinity, potential temperature, and potential density, and the masses of the two seawater micro-masses are the same; Determine the potential energy of the seawater micro-mass through the following formula: mgh = mw 2 / 2; In the formula, m is the mass of the seawater micro-mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, w is the vertical velocity of the seawater micro-mass, h is the lifting height; Based on the potential energy of the seawater micro-mass, the calculation formula for determining the vertical velocity of the seawater micro-mass is: ; Based on the calculation formula for the vertical velocity of the seawater micro-mass, calculate the lifting height when the vertical velocity of the seawater micro-mass is known h ; Based on the calculated lifting height h , calculate the angle between the isopleth and the horizontal line through the following formula: ; In the formula, is the angle between the isotherm and the horizontal line, is the horizontal distance between two seawater parcels.

[0049] Embodiment 2: Figure 2 Shows the flow chart of an observation and evaluation method for ocean upwelling intensity according to an embodiment of the present invention Figure 2 , as Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an observation and evaluation method for ocean upwelling intensity. The method includes: obtaining the whole-layer temperature and salinity profile data of multiple stations on a straight cross-section in the target area; performing preliminary processing on the ocean observation data to obtain the profile distributions of the potential temperature and potential density of each station; performing a 5-point moving average on the data of each station vertically to filter out noise and high-frequency signals; plotting the distribution diagrams of cross-section salinity, potential temperature, and potential density with depth; marking the isopleths of the above parameters; selecting the area with consistent isopleth distribution, calculating the angle between the isopleth and the horizontal line, and selecting the maximum angle of inclination of the isopleth among the salinity, potential temperature, and potential density parameters; the angle is represented in degrees and divided by 90 degrees for dimensionless unit-removing processing to obtain an evaluation index for evaluating the upwelling intensity. This observation and evaluation method for ocean upwelling intensity can directly use numerical quantification to evaluate the strength of the upwelling in a single observation from the cross-section observation data. If multiple observations are made, the evaluation index can also reflect the change in the upwelling intensity.
[0050] In this embodiment, the upwelling intensity is evaluated according to the inclination angles of the isohalines, isopycnals, and potential temperature with depth. If the inclination angle of the isohaline on the section is the largest, the upwelling area is mainly controlled by the seawater salinity, and the input value of exogenous fresh water is relatively large; if the inclination angle of the isopycnal on the section is the largest, the upwelling process is mainly controlled by the seawater temperature, and the input value of exogenous fresh water is relatively small; if the inclination angle of the isopycnal on the section is the largest, the upwelling process is mainly controlled by the seawater density and jointly controlled by the seawater temperature and salinity.
[0051] In some embodiments, a rapid temperature observation profile obtained from only one cross-section observation can also be used to establish an upwelling intensity evaluation parameter based on seawater temperature, providing an upwelling intensity evaluation index for ships far from land that cannot sense the upwelling or downwelling state of the seawater in the sea area where the ship is located, and providing a basis and reference for ship decision-making.
[0052] As Figure 3 shown, it is a schematic diagram of the working principle of the observation and evaluation method for ocean upwelling intensity. Due to the upwelling movement of the seawater on the left side of the section, the seawater hydrological parameters, such as the seawater potential density , the isohaline rises, and the rising height of the seawater potential density is h . The hydrological parameters include seawater salinity, potential temperature, and potential density. Take seawater parcels of the same volume. To distinguish the two seawater parcels, Figure 2 A1 and A2 are used to represent the two seawater parcels in l . The horizontal distance between the two seawater parcels is m . Since the isohalines are the same, the seawater salinity, potential temperature, and potential density of the two parcels are the same, that is, the masses m of the two seawater parcels are the same. The result of the upwelling movement causes the gravitational potential energy of the seawater parcel A1 to rise, and the potential energy increases by mgh , where g is the acceleration due to gravity. The upward kinetic energy of the seawater parcel is mw 2 / 2. The increase in the potential energy of the seawater parcel is the conversion of its kinetic energy. Therefore, mgh = mw 2 2 / 2; In the formula, w is the vertical velocity of the seawater parcel.
[0053] The expression for the vertical velocity of the seawater parcel can be obtained from the above formula as: ; The angle of the upwelling movement of the fluid parcel that causes the isohaline to rise is the angle between the isopycnal and the horizontal line, which is calculated by the following formula: ; In the formula, is the angle between the isopleth and the horizontal line. In a simplified case, by means of the horizontal auxiliary line a and the auxiliary line b parallel to the inclined isopycnals, measuring the angle between the two lines can quickly obtain the angle parameter.
[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, a specific example of an observation and evaluation method based on the intensity of ocean upwelling is given. This specific example takes the seawater temperature, salinity, and density section observed by a ship on the east side of Hainan Province as an example to evaluate the intensity of the upwelling. As Figure 4 shown, the left side of the observation section is close to the land, the right side of the observation section is close to the open sea, the bottom part is the seabed, the horizontal axis is the distance from the coast, and the vertical axis is the distribution of the observed hydrological parameters (seawater potential temperature, seawater salinity, seawater potential density) with depth. The ship observed the hydrological parameter profiles at 15 stations on this section.
[0055] Since the distribution of the isopycnals is relatively consistent, a single angle is used here to evaluate the intensity of the upwelling during the observation period. Combining Figure 2 , this specific example is implemented by the following steps 1 to 12.
[0056] Step 1, Selection of the observation section: Draw a straight line on the nautical chart. The length of the straight line should be 50 km to 200 km. The straight line can be in the meridional direction, zonal direction, or any direction. For example, near the continental shelf, the straight line should be perpendicular to the shoreline or perpendicular to the isobaths.
[0057] Step 2, Obtaining the observation stations: On the above-selected observation section, select about 10 stations, and the station spacing is 5 km to 20 km.
[0058] Step 3, Obtaining the observation data: At the above-selected observation stations, use instruments to quickly obtain the distribution data of seawater temperature and salinity with depth at the stations.
[0059] Step 4, Calculation of potential hydrological parameters: For the seawater temperature and seawater salinity observed at each observation station on the above observation section, calculate the potential temperature and potential density. The calculation method of the potential temperature is as follows: ; In the formula, , T is the observed seawater temperature, S is the observed seawater salinity, p is the observed seawater pressure data, is the potential temperature, is the vertical gradient of the seawater temperature.
[0060] Step 5. Vertical interpolation of potential hydrological parameters: Linearly interpolate the seawater salinity, potential temperature, and potential density of each of the above observation stations in the vertical direction. The processed data are evenly spaced in the vertical direction, and the general spacing should be 1 meter, or one hundredth of the total observation depth.
[0061] Step 6: Vertical Sliding Average of Potential Hydrological Parameters: Perform a vertical sliding average of the vertically interpolated seawater salinity, geopotential temperature, and geopotential density at each observation station. This sliding average is typically performed over five points, but can also be performed over seven or nine points. The specific number of sliding averages depends on the water depth. Deeper waters require more sliding averages, while shallower waters require fewer.
[0062] Step 7. Horizontal interpolation of the cross section: Interpolate the above observation stations in the horizontal direction with a horizontal resolution of 1 km and interpolate the corresponding hydrological parameters.
[0063] Step 8: Draw the distribution of hydrological parameters along the cross section with depth: Draw the contour line cross section of the above observation data, as shown in the following example: Figure 4 The seawater potential temperature ( Figure 4 (a)), seawater salinity ( Figure 4 (b)), seawater potential density ( Figure 4 c) Contour map.
[0064] Step 9: Divide the above motion diagnosis range: for the seawater potential temperature to be diagnosed ( Figure 4 (a)), seawater salinity ( Figure 4 (b)), seawater potential density ( Figure 4 In (c), the scope of diagnosis is divided according to actual needs, such as Figure 4 , divided into three areas: A, B and C.
[0065] If a more accurate angle is required, the angles of adjacent stations can be solved to obtain the distribution of the angle of upwelling intensity on the horizontal section.
[0066] Step 10, measuring the contour angle: the seawater potential temperature in the above-mentioned A, B, and C areas ( Figure 4 (a)), seawater salinity ( Figure 4 (b)), seawater potential density ( Figure 4 For the contour lines in (c), measure the inclination angle of the contour lines. For example, to assess the inclination of the contour lines in Area B toward the shelf, select the horizontal auxiliary line (dashed line) and measure the angle of the contour lines in Area B relative to the horizontal auxiliary line. Rotate the horizontal auxiliary line counterclockwise to obtain the angle of the contour line. An angle of 45° is considered positive when rotated counterclockwise. The left side of Area B indicates upward movement.
[0067] Similarly, it can be obtained that there is basically no upward movement in area A. In area C, due to the angle of the isopleth being 5°, the upward movement is much smaller than that of the seawater in area B.
[0068] Step 11. Nondimensionalize the upwelling index: Divide the above angle value by 90°. Then the upwelling index of area B is 0.5, that of area A is 0, and that of area C is 0.05.
[0069] If a more refined assessment of the upwelling index is required, the upwelling index can be calculated at different depths and even at different horizontal distances.
[0070] Step 12. Time series of the upwelling index: For the same sea area, multiple cross-section observations are carried out, and a time series of the upwelling index can be obtained.
[0071] It should be noted that when drawing the isopleth map of the hydrological parameters for multiple cross-section observations, the scales of the horizontal axis and the vertical axis should be kept the same.
[0072] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the relevant technical field can also make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also belong to the scope of the present invention, and the patent protection scope of the present invention shall be defined by the claims.
