| 摘要_英文 | Observations of currents and temperatures from four moorings deployed around the deep slope (similar to 2500 m) of Caiwei Guyot in the Pacific Prime Crust Zone were utilized to investigate topographically trapped waves at low-latitude seamounts. Contrasting with commonly reported persistent diurnal seamount-trapped wave cases at middle and high latitudes, the subinertial variability in deep currents and temperatures at the slope of Caiwei Guyot was primarily characterized by two distinct lower-frequency bands (i.e., 13-24 and 3.3-4.7 days). These subinertial variabilities are interpreted as intermittent seamount-trapped waves and topographic Rossby waves (TRWs). During certain time periods, the observations include key signatures of seamount-trapped waves, such as near-opposite phases of azimuthal velocity (and temperature) on opposite flanks of the seamount, and patterns of temporal current rotation consistent with counterrotating cells of horizontal current propagating counterclockwise around the seamount. After comparing these observations to idealized seamount-trapped wave solutions, we conclude that the 13-24-day (3.3-4.7-day) energy is mainly due to radial-vertical mode 5 (3) for azimuthal wavenumber 1 (3). Sometimes the subinertial energy remained pronounced at only one flank of the seamount, primarily explained as TRWs with 192-379-m vertical trapping scale and 14-28-km wavelength. Upper-layer mesoscale perturbations might provide energy for deep seamount-trapped waves and TRWs. This study highlights the role of topographically trapped waves in modulating the deep circulation at low-latitude seamounts. |
