The Kuroshio Transport East of Taiwan and the Sea Surface Height Anomaly from the Interior Ocean

The relationship between the Kuroshio transport to the east of Taiwan and the SSHA (Sea Surface Height Anomaly) field is studied based on the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) PCM-1 moored current meter array observation, the satellite altimeter data from the MSLA (Map of Sea Level Anomaly) products merged with the ERS and TOPEX/POSEIDON (T/P) data sets, and the WOCE satellite-tracked drifting buoy data. It is confirmed that the Kuroshio transport across PCM-1 array highly correlates with the SSHA upstream (22°-24°N, 121.75°-124°E). The SSHA is not locally generated by the developed Kuroshio meandering but is from the interior ocean and is propagating westward or northwestward. During the period from October 1992 to January 1998, two events of the northwestward propagating negative SSHA occurred, during which the SSHA merged into the Kuroshio and caused the remarkable low transport events in contrast to the normal westward propagating negative SSHA. It is also shown that the lower Kuroshio transport event would be generated in different ways. The negative anomaly in the upstream of PCM-1 array can reduce the Kuroshio transport by either offshore or onshore Kuroshio meandering. The positive anomaly, which is strong enough to detour the Kuroshio, can cause an offshore meandering and a low transport event at the PCM-1 array.

饱和一元脂肪醇类相变材料的蓄热特性

以探索饱和一元脂肪醇作相变蓄热材料的可能性为目的 ,文中选择十八醇进行了量热学的实验研究。基于提出的凝固点和过冷度研究方法 ,由试验测得十八醇的凝固点为 5 7 1 2℃ ,过冷度为 0 0 1℃。十八醇的相变热为 2 4 2 85J/g。另外 ,经 5 0次冷热循环 ,十八醇凝固点与相变热的偏差分别为 0 2 6 %和 0 1 8%。上述结果表明十八醇为相变热大、过冷度小。
