船舶レーダによる2018年夏季の観測と散乱原理に基づく海面砕波飛沫の鉛直濃度分布の推定
Estimation of density profile of sea spray based on Mie scattering theory and radar observations in summer 2018
岡地 寛季 (Hiroki Okachi) 発表要旨:

レーダ観測ではその汎用性から降雨や風速を通した雲内の構造推定に用いられる. 本研究では,大気境界層内の降雨と海面砕波飛沫を対象として2018年夏季にレー ダを用いた観測を行った.レーダ観測において重要な規格化レーダ断面積はMie 散乱原理に任意の粒径分布を仮定することで導出することができる.そこで, 本研究では観測から得られたレーダ規格化断面積と散乱原理から求めた規格化 レーダ断面積を比較することで降雨と飛沫の粒径分布のパラメタを推定する アルゴリズムを提案した.さらに,得られた結果から飛沫の鉛直濃度分布を推定した.


潮汐により調節された西岸境界流がオホーツク海-北太平洋間の海水交換を駆動
Tidally-modified western boundary current drives interbasin exchange between the Sea of Okhotsk and the North Pacific: its mechanism and further possible impacts
周 宏偉 (Hung-Wei SHU) 発表要旨:

The interbasin exchange between the Sea of Okhotsk and the North Pacific governs intermediate water ventilation and fertilization of the nutrient-rich subpolar Pacific, and thus has enormous influences on the North Pacific. However, the mechanism of this exchange is puzzling; current studies have not explained how the western boundary current (WBC) of the subarctic North Pacific intrudes only partially into the Sea of Okhotsk. High-resolution models often exhibit unrealistically small exchanges, as the WBC overshoots passing by deep straits and does not induce exchange flows. Therefore, partial intrusion cannot be solely explained by large-scale, wind-driven circulation. Here, we demonstrate that tidal forcing is the missing mechanism that drives the exchange by steering the WBC pathway. Upstream of the deep straits, tidally- generated topographically trapped waves over a bank lead to cross-slope upwelling. This upwelling enhances bottom pressure, thereby steering the WBC pathway toward the deep straits. The upwelling is identified as the source of joint-effect-of-baroclinicity-and-relief (JEBAR) in the potential vorticity equation, which is caused by tidal oscillation instead of tidally-enhanced vertical mixing. The WBC then hits the island chain and induces exchange flows. The tidally-enhanced interbasin exchange further modifies the North Pacific subpolar gyre.
