| 英文摘要 | Mooring observations were conducted from July 16, 2011 to March 30, 2012 east of Mindanao, Philippines (127A degrees 2.8'E, 8A degrees 0.3'N) to observe the abyssal current at about 5 600 m deep and 500 m above the ocean bottom. Several features were revealed: 1) the observed abyssal current was highly variable with standard deviations of 57.3 mm/s and 34.0 mm/s, larger than the mean values of -31.9 and 16.6 mm/s for the zonal and meridional components, respectively; 2) low-frequency current longer than 6 days exhibited strong seasonal variation, flowing southeastward (mean flow direction of 119.0A degrees clockwise from north) before about October 1, 2011 and northwestward (mean flow direction of 60.5A degrees counter-clockwise from north) thereafter; 3) the high-frequency flow bands were dominated by tidal currents O-1, K-1, M-2, and S-2, and near-inertial currents, whose frequencies were higher than the local inertial frequency. The two diurnal tidal constituents were much stronger than the two semidiurnal ones. This study provides for the first time an observational insight into the abyssal western boundary current east of Mindanao based on long-term observations at one site. It is meaningful for further research into the deep and abyssal circulation over the whole Philippine Sea and the 3D structure of the western boundary current system in this region. More observational and high-resolution model studies are needed to examine the spatial structure and temporal variation of the abyssal current over a much larger space and longer period, their relation to the upper-layer circulation, and the underlying dynamics. |
