英文摘要 | The structure and variations of the North Equatorial Countercurrent (NECC) in the far western Pacific Ocean during 2014-16 are investigated using repeated in situ hydrographic data, altimeter data, Argo data, and reanalysis data. The NECC shifted similar to 1 degrees southward and intensified significantly with its transport exceeding 40 Sv (1 Sv equivalent to 10(6) m(3) s(-1)), nearly double its climatology value, during the developing phase of the 2015/16 El Nino event. Observations show that the 2015/16 El Nino exerted a comparable impact on the NECC with that of the extreme 1997/98 El Nino in the far western Pacific Ocean. Baroclinic instability provided the primary energy source for the eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in the 2015/16 El Nino, which differs from the traditional understanding of the energy source of EKE as barotropic instability in low-latitude ocean. The enhanced vertical shear and the reduced density jump between the NECC layer and the North Equatorial Subsurface Current (NESC) layer renders the NECC-NESC system baroclinically unstable in the western Pacific Ocean during El Nino developing phase. The eddy-mean flow interactions here are diverse associated with various states of El Nino- Southern Oscillation (ENSO). |
