利用卫星观测数据集和嵌套的高分辨率模型研究了阿古拉斯海流的源区。由高度计得出的地转表面流在不同时期的平均值,为东马达加斯加洋流(SEMC)南分支延伸的流动模式的持续性提供了证据。在马达加斯加南部,SEMC分裂成一个分支,朝向阿古拉斯流,并形成第二个分支,反映并连接亚热带印度洋逆流(SICC)。观测高度的长期平均型与模式动态高度的长期平均型之间有很好的一致性。南太平洋大陆架伸展有两种基本模式,当南太平洋大陆架向西南方向伸展时,莫桑比克盆地北部的反气旋运动有利于反射,而南太平洋大陆架沿马达加斯加南部斜坡向西流动时,则发生气旋运动。模型SEMC输运与外延区模态变化之间的相互关联序列显示出约1个月滞后的相关性,这与从SEMC到流出区的涡流传播时间一致。使用在21°S释放的浮子来确定平均模型SEMC传输量,使用在55°E注入的浮子来获得SEMC对SICC的贡献,并且模型向后运行。几乎一半的SEMC体积运输贡献给Agulhas系统,大约40%的SICC水来自SEMC。
Data sets from satellite observations and a nested high‐resolution model are used to study a source region of the Agulhas Current. Altimeter‐derived geostrophic surface currents are averaged over varying periods, providing evidence of the persistence of flow patterns in the extension of the southern branch of the East Madagascar Current (SEMC). South of Madagascar, the SEMC separates into one branch toward the Agulhas Current and into a second branch retroflecting and connecting to the Subtropical Indian Ocean Countercurrent (SICC). Good agreement is found between long‐term mean patterns of observational and model dynamic heights. Two basic modes are identified in the SEMC extension, with anticyclonic motion favoring retroflection in the northern Mozambique Basin when the extension is in a southwestward direction and cyclonic motion occurring in the case of the SEMC flowing westward along the southern Madagascar slope. A cross‐correlation sequence between model SEMC transports and the modal changes in the extension region displays a correlation at about 1‐month lag which agrees with eddy propagation time from the SEMC to the outflow region. Mean model SEMC transports are determined using floats released at 21°S, and the contribution of the SEMC to the SICC is obtained using floats injected at 55°E with the model running backward. Almost half of the SEMC volume transport contributes to the Agulhas system, and about 40% of SICC water originates from the SEMC.
