摘要

The Tsuchiya jets (TJs) are narrow eastward currents, located a few degrees on either side of the equator at depths from 200 to 500 m in the Pacific Ocean. In this study, non-eddy-resolving, oceanic general circulation models (OGCMs) are used to investigate the dynamics of the southern TJ. Most solutions are found in a rectangular basin extending 100° zonally and from 40°S to 10°N. They are forced by idealized zonal and meridional winds representing the trades and the southerly winds near the South American coast, by a prescribed interocean circulation (IOC) that enters the basin through the southern boundary and exits through the western boundary from 2° to 6°N (the model's Indonesian passages), and by surface heating that warms the ocean in the Tropics. A suite of solutions is presented to isolate effects of each forcing and mixing process. A few solutions are also found to a global OGCM driven by realistic forcings. Solutions forced by all of the aforementioned processes and with minimal diffusion resemble the observed flow field in the tropical South Pacific. A narrow eastward current, the model southern TJ, flows across the basin along the southern edge of a thick equatorial thermostad, and upwells at the eastern boundary. Its deeper part is supplied by water that leaves the western boundary current somewhat south of the equator. Its shallower part originates from water that diverges from the deep portion of the Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC); as a result, the TJ transport increases to the east and the TJ warms as it flows across the basin. A major part of the water that upwells at the eastern boundary is supplied by the TJ with a minor contribution from the southern boundary region. In idealized-basin solutions without forcing either by the IOC or meridional wind, the TJ is weak or absent. These, and other, properties suggest that the dynamics of the model's TJ are those of an arrested front, which in a 2 1/2-layer model are generated when characteristics of the flow merge or intersect. When diffusivity is increased to commonly used values, the thermostad is less well defined or even absent and the TJ is weak, suggesting that excessive diffusion is the reason why TJs are not present in many previous OGCMs. In the solution to a global OGCM, the southern TJ still exists without the IOC, although it is warmed by 1℃, indicating that much of its water is supplied by an overturning cell confined within the Pacific basin.
