Near-inertial waves (NIWs) are essential energy sources for deep diapycnal mixing. However, the mechanisms for generating deep and abyssal NIWs are largely unknown. Here, using 3 year full-depth mooring data at 130°E/15°N, we demonstrate that downward propagating tropical cyclone (TC)-induced NIWs and parametric subharmonic instability (PSI) can contribute to the intensification of near-inertial kinetic energy (NIKE) over 1,000–3,000 m. The deep warm core eddy (WCE) is found to facilitate the downward propagation of TC-induced NIWs with fast vertical group velocity and the intensified PSI efficiency that improves the energy transfer from diurnal internal tides (DITs) to NIWs at the site poleward of critical latitude for DITs. Quantitative regression analysis suggests that compared to the PSI, downward penetrating TC-induced NIWs contribute more to the deep NIKE. Our study emphasizes that accurately representing deep eddy activities and TC's wind intensity in numerical models is crucial to simulating the deep NIKE.

涡流调制下热带气旋和内潮对深部近惯性动能的贡献



近惯性波 (NIW) 是深度双密度混合的重要能源。然而,产生深部和深部 NIW 的机制在很大程度上是未知的。在这里,使用 130°E/15°N 的 3 年全深度系泊数据,我们证明了向下传播的热带气旋 (TC) 诱导的 NIW 和参数次谐波不稳定性 (PSI) 有助于在 1,000-3,000 m 上增强近惯性动能 (NIKE)。发现深暖核涡流 (WCE) 促进了 TC 诱导的 NIWs 的向下传播,具有快速的垂直群速度和增强的 PSI 效率,从而改善了从 DITs 到昼夜内潮 (DIT) 到 NIWs 的能量转移在 DIT 临界纬度极点的站点。定量回归分析表明,与 PSI 相比,向下渗透的 TC 诱导的 NIW 对深度 NIKE 的贡献更大。我们的研究强调,在数值模型中准确表示深涡活动和 TC 的风强度对于模拟深 NIKE 至关重要。
