简介:自动化鉴定并且mesoscale海洋旋涡追踪最近在物理海洋学成为了一个研究热点。几个方法被开发了并且适用在华南海(SCS)调查海洋旋涡的一般运动、几何的特征。然而,很少的研究试图检验内部进化处理的旋涡。在这研究,我们报导了一个混合方法基于他们的内部结构在SCS跟踪旋涡繁殖,它被旋涡中心,脚印边阶,和合成边阶描绘。埃迪鉴定和追踪的结果被一个官方补给底的空间与时间的模型代表。消失,再现,裂口,和合并的立刻的国家,动态进化过程,和事件的信息在一个GIS数据库被存储。结果被在北SCS对十个Dongsha气旋的旋涡(数据通信设备)和三个长寿逆旋风的旋涡(王牌)比较验证,它在以前的文学被报导。我们的学习证实了这些旋涡的发展。而且,我们在我们的数据库从2005~2012在这些区域发现了更像数据通信设备、像王牌的旋涡。消失,重现,切开,并且合并活动的空间分发分析证明在SCS的旋涡趋于到簇到吕宋岛岛的西北,吕宋岛海峡的西南,并且在越南的边缘的海附近。在这些区域的自台湾东面的菲律宾海流向日本的暖流侵入和复杂的海地板地形学是导致这些空间簇的可能的因素。
