英文摘要 | A spatially varying non-stationary gravest empirical mode (GEM) field is constructed by incorporating the calendar month as an extra parameter to infer the subsurface thermohaline structure from the Pressure-sensor equipped Inverted Echo Sounder (PIES) observations in the western equatorial Pacific Ocean. This monthly GEM (MGEM) overcomes the application limitation of traditional GEM in the equatorial ocean due to the poor vertical coherence thermohaline structure there. The MGEM can capture 77% of the thermohaline variance for the upper 500 dbar, which is only 62% by the traditional GEM method. The most significant improvement of MGEM is for the deep ocean between 500 and 1900 dbar, where only 12% of the thermohaline variance can be captured by the GEM, but improved to 44% by the MGEM method. Based on the MGEM, a 24-month volume transport time series is estimated from observations by three PIESs deployed across the nascent North Equatorial Countercurrent (NECC) at 4 degrees N, 6 degrees N, and 8 degrees N along the 130 degrees E transect during 2014-2016. By establishing an empirical relationship between the 24 month-long volume transport and the synchronous altimeter data, a 24 year-long time series of NECC volume transport during 1993-2016 are constructed, and the seasonal and interannual variations of the NECC are investigated. The nascent NECC between 4 degrees N-6 degrees N was found to have quite strong seasonal variations with the strongest transport of 23 Sv occurring in February and the weakest transport of 11 Sv occurring in September. It is strengthened during the developing phase of El Ninos, and is weakened during La Ninas. The 2015/16 El Nino exerts a significant impact on the nascent NECC with the amplitude comparable to that of the 1997/98 event, which even obscures the NECC's seasonality. |
