Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to ocean dynamic process modeling and data inversion technology, and in particular to a method and system for decomposing the dynamic processes of ocean eddies and sea surface temperature anomalies. Background Technology
[0002] Ocean eddies are important mesoscale circulation structures widely distributed in the global ocean, typically ranging from tens to hundreds of kilometers in horizontal scale, with lifecycles lasting from weeks to months. They play a crucial role in heat transport, mass distribution, air-sea flux regulation, and global climate change, making them a core topic in ocean dynamics research. Ocean eddies cause significant sea surface temperature anomalies in their interior and periphery by perturbing the surrounding temperature and current fields. Sea surface temperature anomalies are important physical quantities for observing and studying ocean-atmosphere interactions, widely used to analyze the mechanisms by which eddies influence climate systems, cloud cover, precipitation, and atmospheric circulation. Therefore, a deep understanding of the causes and dynamic structures of eddy sea surface temperature anomalies is crucial for revealing the mechanisms of eddy interaction.
[0003] Existing research primarily utilizes satellite remote sensing data and Argo buoy data to observe and analyze the spatial structure of eddy sea surface temperature anomalies. A common approach is to radially average the anomalies and empirically decompose them into monopole and dipole structures. However, these decomposition methods rely on the assumption of eddy axisymmetry and artificially defined radial profiles, lacking rigorous physical and mathematical foundations and failing to fully reflect the coupling of actual physical processes. Especially when multiple physical mechanisms are at play or the background field is non-uniform, this method often exhibits significant bias, making it difficult to accurately identify and quantify the contribution of each process to the eddy sea surface temperature anomaly.
