Oceanic fronts, or transition zones between water masses, play important roles in regulating oceanic heat, energy, and matter balances through associated vertical transport (Lévy et al., 2001; Ruiz et al., 2019). They also influence the atmospheric boundary layer (Xie, 2004). The observation and modeling of oceanic fronts are topics of interest in oceanography.
The South China Sea (SCS) is a large marginal sea in the tropical western Pacific Ocean. The complex topography and monsoon allow multiscale oceanic structures to prevail in the SCS; these include branches of the Kuroshio Current and the SCS Warm Current as well as western boundary currents, mesoscale eddies (MEs), river plumes, upwelling, and submesoscale structures (Hu et al., 2012; Yuan et al., 2006; Zhong et al., 2017; Feng et al., 2020). Fronts have been detected in the above structures, i.e., Kuroshio fronts (Liu et al., 2017), upwelling fronts (Jing et al., 2015), and river plume fronts (Qiu et al., 2017a). Seasonal variations of above thermal fronts were first statistically revealed by Wang et al. (2001), who found that thermal fronts were strong in winter to spring and weak in summer to autumn. In addition to the above fronts, which have lifetimes longer than one month, there are other fronts with temporal scales less than 30 d in the SCS (Hosoda et al., 2012), which might be induced by MEs, filaments and so on.
MEs are common in the SCS. The horizontal lengths/time scales of MEs are 50–300 km/1–10 months (Capet et al., 2008; McWilliams, 2016). Their horizontal scales of motion are characterized by baroclinic instability, at which the Rossby number
The signals of strong coastal and Kuroshio fronts in winter and strong upwelling and river plume fronts in summer hide the high-frequency frontal signals in seasonal variation studies (Wang et al., 2001; Jing et al., 2015; Qiu et al., 2017a). The SST fronts at the mesoscale eddy edge (hereafter, ME fronts) are expected to have high-frequency variations, because MEs easily deform and propagate at a mean speed of ~0.1 m/s (Chen et al., 2009; Su et al., 2020). As anticyclones have negative vorticity and cyclones have positive vorticity, the numbers of generated anticyclones and cyclones exhibit different seasonal variations due to monsoon-driven wind stress curl (Chen et al., 2009; Wang et al., 2008), which may influence the ME front. In this study, we examine the characteristics and possible mechanisms of ME fronts to better understand the interaction between MEs and SST fronts and improve our understanding of oceanic physical processes in the NSCS.
The data and methods are presented in Section 2, ME fronts identified from the observation data are presented in Section 3, statistical analyses are presented in Section 4, possible mechanisms for ME fronts are presented in Section 5, and summaries are presented in Section 6.
To investigate the structures at ME fronts, we collected observations from an underwater glider. The Chinese underwater glider was designed by the Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and named “Sea wing”. “Sea wing” underwater gliders have been successfully used to investigate sea surface cooling (Qiu et al., 2015), mesoscale eddies (Shu et al., 2016; Qiu et al., 2019b), and submesoscale eddies (Qiu et al., 2019a). The underwater glider captured 205 vertical profiles of temperature, salinity and pressure from April 19 to June 15, 2015. We interpolated the temperature and salinity to a 1-m vertical resolution.
We used the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM), a data-assimilative hybrid isopycnal-sigma-pressure (generalized) coordinate ocean model, to calculate vertical velocity within the MEs. Descriptions of the data set are presented at
We used the operational SST and sea ice analysis (OSTIA) SST products to detect SST fronts. OSTIA SST products are a combination of microwaves, infrared satellite measurements, and in situ SST data available over global telecommunications system products (Donlon et al., 2011). Products from 2007 to 2017 with daily temporal resolution and ~5 km spatial resolution were downloaded from
Sea level anomaly (SLA) data are merged products of ERS-1/2, TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1/2, and envisat altimeters from the archiving, validation and interpretation of satellite oceanographic data (AVISO) dataset. SLAs represent variations in the sea surface heights relative to the mean sea surface based on a 20-year (1993–2012) reference period. The product has daily records and 0.25°×0.25° resolution. To match the date range of OSTIA SSTs, we used SLA data from 2007 to 2017.
To identify the ME front, we first identified the ME and SST fronts separately, and then matched the ME and the associated SST front. The data used here are AVISO SLA and OSTIA SST from 2007 to 2017. The flowchart is shown in Fig. 1.
To identify the MEs, we used a winding-angle (WA) algorithm, which detects eddies with greater efficiency, recognition accuracy, and stability (Sadarjoen and Post, 2000; Chaigneau et al., 2008). The WA algorithm searches for local maximum (minimum) SLA values that correspond to potential centers of anticyclonic (cyclonic) eddies in every 4°×4° grid window. Closed streamlines that belong to the same eddy are then selected and clustered by calculating the streamline WA. This algorithm is described in greater detail in Sadarjoen and Post (2000). We used this automatic method to identify MEs in 2007–2017 and obtained 93 anticyclones and 67 cyclones. Then we produced a data array of ME parameters, including ME center, radius, EKE, and shear stress. The identified mesoscale eddy on May 30, 2015 is shown in Fig. 1c.
We used the maximum gradient magnitude method to detect the SST fronts. Previous studies have used this method to detect SST fronts in the NSCS (Wang et al., 2001; Qiu et al., 2017a). First, we calculated the SST gradient magnitude for pixels (x, y, t) in eight directions from 0° to 360° at 45° intervals, and then we obtained the maximum SST gradient magnitude among the eight directions as GMmax(x, y, t). One case of SST gradient magnitude map is shown in Fig. 1d. Pixels for which GMmax(x, y, t)≥0.2°C/km were identified as frontal pixels and defined as
To determine the ME front position, we defined a search radius,
| $$ r^2\left( x,y,t \right)={{\left( x-{{x}_{0}} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( y-{{y}_{0}} \right)}^{2}},\quad t=1,2,3,\cdots, N. $$ | (1) |
Then, we matched the MEs and SST fronts. Under the conditions of
Finally, the absolute probability of the ME front,
| $$ P\left(x,y\right)=\frac{{\displaystyle\sum\limits _{t=1}^{N}}{\rm{MEF}}\left(x,y,t\right)}{N}. $$ | (2) |
The relative probability of the ME front is defined as the ratio between the number of ME fronts and that of mesoscale eddies,
| $$ {P}_{{\rm{r}}}\left(x,y\right)=\frac{{\displaystyle\sum\limits _{t=1}^{N}}{\rm{MEF}}\left(x,y,t\right)}{{\displaystyle\sum\limits _{t=1}^{N}}{\rm{ME}}\left(x,y,t\right)}. $$ | (3) |
Although the spatial resolution of satellite SSTs (~5 km) is too coarse to investigate the fine structures of the ME front, it can indicate the presence or absence of the ME front. Hosoda et al. (2012) have attempted to examine multiple scales of oceanic fronts using microwave SSTs with spatial resolutions of 25 km. It is feasible to detect the presence of an ME front using OSTIA SST products.
We examined a warm eddy from April 19 to June 15, 2015. The SST gradient magnitude map shows that the ME front appeared at the interface between a warm eddy and a cold eddy (Fig. 1e). The three-dimensional structure and track of this eddy were previously reported in Qiu et al. (2019b). The SLA and SST anomaly maps of the eddy on May 30 are shown in Fig. 2a. The SST gradient magnitude along the glider track exceeded 0.2°C/km, reaching the SST front threshold (Fig. 2b). The length of this SST front is approximately 200 km.
We calculated vertical velocities to identify the current across front. Since the geostrophic balance equation may be unsuitable for the ME front, we obtained the vertical velocity w using the density conservation equation (Yu et al., 2019) as follows:
| $$ \frac{\partial \rho }{\partial t}+u\frac{\partial \rho }{\partial x}+v\frac{\partial \rho }{\partial y}+w\frac{\partial \rho }{\partial z}=0, $$ | (4) |
| $$ w=-\left(\frac{\partial \rho }{\partial t}+u\frac{\partial \rho }{\partial x}+v\frac{\partial \rho }{\partial y}\right)\bigg/\frac{\partial \rho }{\partial z}, $$ | (5) |
where ρ is the water density, as observed from Chinese underwater glider data; u and v are from the HYCOM data. We matched the HYCOM data with underwater glider data using a match-up window of 0.1° × 0.1°.
Vertical mean velocities at 200–800 m are shown in Fig. 2d. The alternation of upward (positive) and downward (negative) velocities within short distances (~10 km) indicates the appearance of complex current structures. Secondary circulation structures can develop vertically in the form of upwelling (downwelling) on the warmer (colder) side of the front (Capet et al., 2008). Our results show more complicated vertical circulation structures. The maximum vertical velocity was approximately 5×10–6 m/s (~4.3 m/d), which was equivalent to that in the northeastern Atlantic (Yu et al., 2019). These vertical velocities could lead to upward or downward heat transport.
ME fronts may enhance the turbulent kinetic dissipation rate. Therefore, we calculated vertical mixing using Gregg-Henyey-Polzon (GHP) fine-scale parameterization (Henyey et al., 1986; Polzin et al., 2014; Gregg et al., 2003). This method has been successfully used in the SCS (Shang et al., 2017; Liang et al., 2017). The parameterization depends on fine-scale shear and strain variance, as follows:
| $$ K={{K}_{0}}\frac{{{\left\langle V_{z}^{2} \right\rangle }^{2}}}{{\rm{GM}}{{\left\langle V_{z}^{2} \right\rangle }^{2}}}{{h}_{1}}\left( {{R}_{w}} \right)j\left( \frac{f}{N} \right), $$ | (6) |
where
| $$ {h_1}\left( {{R_w}} \right) = \frac{{3\left( {{R_w} + 1} \right)}}{{2\sqrt 2 {R_w}\sqrt {{R_w} - 1} }}, $$ | (7) |
| $$ j\left( {\frac{f}{N}} \right) = \frac{{f{\rm{arcosh}}\left( {N/f} \right)}}{{{f_{30}}{\rm{arcosh}}\left( {{N_0}/{f_{30}}} \right)}}, $$ | (8) |
where
| $$ {{K}} = {K_0}\frac{{{{\left\langle {\xi _z^2} \right\rangle }^2}}}{{{\rm{GM}}{{\left\langle {\xi _z^2} \right\rangle }^2}}}{h_2}\left( {{R_w}} \right)j\left( {\frac{f}{N}} \right), $$ | (9) |
| $$ {h_2}\left( {{R_w}} \right) = \frac{{{R_w}\left( {{R_w} + 1} \right)}}{{6\sqrt 2 \sqrt {{R_w} - 1} }}. $$ | (10) |
The turbulent dissipation rate, K, is shown in Fig. 2e. Note that K value was very high at the front zone. Enhanced turbulence has been reported for the Kuroshio Current and California fronts (D’Asaro et al., 2011; Johnston et al., 2011). In this study, K is around 10-4 W/kg, larger than that at the ME periphery value observed by Yang et al. (2017). This difference may be due to limitations in the GHP method, which should be used in internal wave-breaking zones (Polzin et al., 2014). Liu et al. (2017) found that the GHP method was not appropriate for the low-latitude northwestern Pacific zone but could show enhanced vertical mixing at the ME boundary. This means that the spatial variation in K is reliable. Yu et al. (2019) suggested that frontogenesis, not frontolysis, can contribute to high turbulence. We also found that some fronts were not associated with increased turbulence (Qiu et al., 2017a). Thus, the enhanced turbulence at the ME front may be induced by frontogenesis.
Using the ME front detection method described in Section 2.2, we obtained ME front probabilities (Fig. 3). Figures 3a and b show the relative probabilities of the anticyclonic front (AEF) and cyclonic front (CEF). Both AEFs and CEFs had high frequencies (~20%) in the western Luzon Strait and off eastern Hainan Island; thus, approximately five MEs are overlapped with one ME front. The absolute probabilities of AEFs and CEFs were less than 6% in most regions (Figs 3c and d). The highest frequencies of both AEFs and CEFs were observed in the Luzon Strait, which had the highest EKE in the SCS (Zhuang et al., 2010). AEFs were more frequent than CEFs, especially in the western boundary of the SCS. More AEFs were found in the northern part (>20°N) than in the southern part of the NSCS. The total number of ME fronts was high (>150 times) along the western boundary (Figs 3e and f), where MEs intruded the continental slope, and easily produced submesoscale structures and a high turbulent kinetic dissipation rate (Zhang et al., 2016; Yang et al., 2019; Su et al., 2020).
Mesoscale eddies are asymmetric, so the ME front should have directions around the eddy center. Taking
| $$ \left\{ {\begin{aligned} & {A\left( {{x_0},{y_0}} \right) = {\rm{arctan}}\frac{{\left( {y - {y_0}} \right)}}{{\left( {x - {x_0}} \right)}},\qquad\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;x > {x_0},{\rm{}}y > {y_0};}\\ & {A\left( {{x_0},{y_0}} \right) = 2{{\text π} } + {\rm{arctan}}\frac{{\left( {x - {x_0}} \right)}}{{\left( {y - {y_0}} \right)}},\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;x > {x_0},{\rm{}}y < {y_0};}\\ & {A\left( {{x_0},{y_0}} \right) = {{\text π} } + {\rm{arctan}}\frac{{\left( {y - {y_0}} \right)}}{{\left( {x - {x_0}} \right)}},\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;x < {x_0};} \end{aligned}} \right. $$ | (11) |
where
Then, we calculated the probability of AEF and CEF angles at intervals of π/4. The probability maps for AEF and CEF angles are shown in Fig. 4. More than 60% of fronts occurred in the northeastern and southwestern parts of anticyclonic MEs, and less than 40% of fronts occurred in the other two directions. CEFs were almost equally distributed around the cyclonic eddy center, with ~12% in each direction. These results indicate that anticyclones are more asymmetrical than cyclones.
Seasonal variations in AEFs and CEFs numbers are shown in Fig. 5. The number of CEFs has a significant seasonal variation, with a maximum value in February (6×105 pixels) and minimum value in September (~0). The number of CEFs exhibited the same seasonal trend as that of generated cyclones, which was suggested to be induced by wind stress curl offshore Luzon Strait and vorticity advection from the Kuroshio Current (Wang et al., 2008; Nan et al., 2011). Seasonal variation in AEFs was not apparent, although AEFs were slightly more frequent from November to March. This is different from the variation of anticyclones, which have significant seasonal variation with larger/smaller numbers in summer/winter due to monsoon-driven positive/negative wind stress curl (Chen et al., 2009). The smaller number of AEFs might result from the decrease in frontal numbers in summer, when solar radiation is almost uniform in the NSCS.
To investigate the dynamic process of ME fronts, we calculated the surface eddy kinetic energy (EKE) using
Interannual variations in the numbers of AEFs and CEFs are shown in Fig. 6. The frontal number increased from 2007 to 2010 and then decreased from 2010 to 2018. We compared the numbers of ME fronts with the Niño 3.4 index (Niño 3.4 index; SST anomaly at 5°S to 5°N, 170°W to 120°W). The number of AEF/CEF and ENSO index were not significantly correlated, with coefficient values of –0.3/–0.23. This result is consistent with that revealed by Tuo et al. (2019), who found that the El Niño index and the number of MEs were not significantly correlated after 2004.
The total EKE at the ME front and within the eddy are shown in Figs 6c and d. The EKE magnitudes for CEF/AEF have the same trends as those for cyclones/anticyclones. That is when the frontal EKE was strong, the eddy EKE was also strong; thus, the frontal EKE magnitude contributed to the strength of the ME. The total EKE magnitudes were 4 500 and 8 000 cm2/s2 for CEFs and AEFs and 2 000 and 2 100 cm2/s2 for cyclones and anticyclones, respectively. The ME frontal mean EKE magnitudes were nearly 3-fold those of the MEs.
The SST fronts at the ME edge (ME fronts) may include many processes, including horizontal discrepancies in air-sea heat exchange, wind-induced Ekman current advection, coastal current advection, mesoscale eddy straining, geostrophic disturbance and ageostrophic movement (Hoskins, 1974; Stone and Nemet, 1996). The SST tendency can be calculated from the mixed layer slab model (De Ruijter, 1983). The SST tendency in the radial direction is as follows:
| $$ \frac{{\partial {\rm{SST}}}}{{\partial t}} = - \frac{Q}{{\rho {c_p}h}} + {V_r}\frac{{\partial {\rm{SST}}}}{{\partial r}} + w\frac{{\partial T}}{{\partial z}} + R. $$ | (12) |
The four terms on the right-hand side are air-sea heat fluxes, advection, entrainment and diffusion terms. Q is the air-sea net heat flux, and h is the mixed layer depth. Vr and w are the radial and vertical velocities, respectively. T is the temperature at the bottom of the mixed layer. ρ and cp are the sea water density and specific heat capacity. The tendency of the SST gradient magnitude at the edge of the mesoscale eddy can be obtained by taking the r derivation for Eq. (12),
| $$ \begin{split} \frac{\partial }{{\partial t}}\left(\frac{{\partial {\rm{SST}}}}{{\partial r}}\right) =& - \frac{1}{{\rho {c_p}}}\frac{\partial }{{\partial r}}\left(\frac{Q}{h}\right) + \frac{{\partial {V_r}}}{{\partial r}}\frac{{\partial {\rm{SST}}}}{{\partial r}} + \\ &{V_r}\frac{\partial }{{\partial r}}\left(\frac{{\partial {\rm{SST}}}}{{\partial r}}\right) + \frac{\partial }{{\partial r}}\left(w\frac{{\partial T}}{{\partial z}}\right) + \frac{\partial }{{\partial r}}(R). \end{split} $$ | (13) |
The air-sea heat flux term in Eq. (13) is difficult to quantify due to the lack of high spatial resolution air-sea net flux products at the eddy edge. The radial velocity Vr is the ageostrophic current, which can improve the water exchange at the eddy edge (Su et al., 2018; Yang et al., 2019), and strengthen or weaken the SST front through advection processes.
Mesoscale eddies have been proven to modify SST fronts in previous studies. Eddy straining is a frontogenesis mechanisms and has submesoscale characteristics (Capet et al., 2008; Brannigan, 2016). Eddy straining or deformation and asymmetry are suggested to be influenced by background large-scale currents, i.e., wind-driven currents and Kuroshio Current (Qiu et al., 2019b). In the NSCS, submesoscale structures are also active (Yang et al., 2017; Qiu et al., 2019a; Zheng et al., 2008). Dong and Zhong (2018) examined the spatiotemporal features of submesoscale processes and found that these processes are strong in winter and weak in summer. Their generation mechanisms have been revealed by Zhang et al. (2020).
SST fronts in the NSCS have both mesoscale/large-scale (Re<1) and submesoscale (Re~O(1)) structures (Wang et al., 2001; Jing et al., 2015; Zhong et al., 2017). In our case study (Fig. 2), the Rossby number of the SST front is Re<1 with a spatial range of 200 km and a mean horizontal velocity of 0.5 m/s. Therefore, this front is a meso/large scale front. However, at the warm and cold eddy edge, two narrow maximum vertical velocity zones with widths of ~10 km occurred (Fig. 2d), which are characteristic of submesoscale structures (Re~O(1)). This indicates that a large-scale SST front also includes submesoscale structures at the mesoscale eddy edge. To quantify the contributions of mesoscale eddies on the SST fronts, high spatial resolution observational data sets, including air-sea heat fluxes and oceanic physical parameters (temperature, salinity and velocity), are needed in the future studies.
Using satellite data, we developed an automatic integrated method to detect ME SST fronts in the NSCS and examined their spatiotemporal variations. ME fronts occupied 20% of the MEs; the northeast and southwest parts of anticyclones were more prone to generating fronts. Mean EKE values at the ME fronts were three times those of the MEs. CEFs were more common from winter to spring, and AEFs were common in all months. The EKE in an AEF was larger than that in an CEF, which might be due to the different levels of AEFs and CEFs.
The results of the current study can be used as a benchmark for future in situ ME front observations. We only detected SST fronts overlapping at the edge of the ME, which may be one part of a large-scale SST front, and the mesoscale eddy only modulates one part of the large SST front. We need to quantify the mesoscale eddy contributions on ME fronts by using high spatiotemporal resolution in situ data in the future.
