摘要
Abstract
The general features of the seasonal surface heat budget in the tropical western Pacific Ocean
20° S–20°N
western boundary −160°E
were documented by Qu (1995) using a high-resolution general circulation model (GCM
Semtner & Chervin
1992) and existing observations. Close inspection of the smaller areas
with the whole region further partitioned into six parts
showed different mechanisms balance the seasonal surface heat budget in different parts of the region. The results of study on five subregions are detailed in this article. In the equatorial (3°S–3°N) and North Equatorial Countercurrent (3°N–9°N) region
the surface heat flux does not change significantly throughout the year
so the surface heat content is determined largely by vertical motion near the equator and roughly half due to horizontal and half due to vertical circulation in the region of the North Equatorial Countercurrent (NECC). In the other subrigions (9°N–20°N
20°S–11°S and 11°S–3°S)
however
in addition to ocean dynamics
surface heat flux can also play a major role in the seasonal variation of sea surface temperature (SST). The remotely forced baroclinic waves and their effect on the surface heat storage in the model are also investigated. Comparison with observations indicates that the model wave activities are reasonably realistic.
