近十年来,物理海洋学上的重大进展之一,在于在大洋里发现了中尺度涡旋,使经典的平均环流理论受到了新的挑战,物理海洋学已经由“海洋气候”的研究阶段开始进入“海洋天气”的研究阶段。大洋中尺度涡旋的研究是近十年来物理海洋学的重大研究课题之一。究其原因, In the last decade, one of the major advances in physical oceanography has been the discovery of mesoscale vortices in the oceans, which have challenged the classical theory of mean circulation to a new level. Physical oceanography has been started by the research phase of “marine climate” Into the “marine weather” research stage. The research of mesoscale vortex in the ocean is one of the major research topics in physical oceanography in recent ten years. The reason,
