利用1984-1985年中国国家海洋局东海研究的水文和系泊流计资料,对台湾北部陆架环流进行了分析。夏季的环流比冬季更为复杂。在这两个季节,有证据表明存在向陆架断裂汇合的曲流流型,可称为台湾暖流的离岸分支。台湾暖流的近岸分支在福建-浙江沿海夏季和冬季都存在,至少它的上层水似乎主要来自台湾海峡。使用简单模式!研究发现,黑潮流进入东海后,台湾海岸缺乏对其表面坡度的支撑是造成其曲流的主要因素之一。然而,在每个季节曲流形成的方式上有一个根本的不同。
Shelf circulation north of Taiwan is analyzed on the basis of hydrographic and moored current meter data obtained from the East China Sea study by the State Oceanic Administration during 1984-1985. The circulation in the summer is found to be more complicated than that in the winter. In both seasons evidences suggest the existence of a meandering flow pattern converging to the shelf break, which may be called the offshore branch of the Taiwan Warm Current. Along the Fujian-Zhejiang coast the inshore branch of the Taiwan Warm Current is present in both summer and winter, and at least its upper-layer water seems to have originated mainly from the Taiwan Strait. Using a simple mode! we find that the absence of the Taiwan coast to support the surface slope of the Kuro-shio inflow after it enters the East China Sea is one of the major factors responsible for the meander. However, there is a fundamental difference on the way the meander is formed in each season.
