2017, 36(5): 1-8. doi: 10.1007/s13131-017-1057-4
Abstract:
On the basis of the latest version of a U.S. Navy generalized digital environment model (GDEM-V3.0) and World Ocean Atlas (WOA13), the hydraulic theory is revisited and applied to the Luzon Strait, providing a fresh look at the deepwater overflow the...
Meso-scale eddy in the South China Sea simulated by an eddy-resolving ocean model
FENG Baoxin, LIU Hailong, LIN Pengfei, WANG Qi
2017, 36(5): 9-25. doi: 10.1007/s13131-017-1058-3
Abstract:
Mesoscale eddies (MEs) in the South China Sea (SCS) simulated by a quasi-global eddy-resolving ocean general circulation model are evaluated against satellite data during 1993-2007. The modeled ocean data show more activity than shown by the satellit...
The variation of turbulent diapycnal mixing at 18°N in the South China Sea stirred by wind stress
LIU Yongzheng, JING Zhao, WU Lixin
2017, 36(5): 26-30. doi: 10.1007/s13131-017-1067-2
Abstract:
The spatial and temporal variations of turbulent diapycnal mixing along 18°N in the South China Sea (SCS) are estimated by a fine-scale parameterization method based on strain, which is obtained from CTD measurements in yearly September from 2004 to ...
Experimental analysis of infragravity waves in two eroded microtidal beaches
MARIO Conde-Frias, LUIS Otero, JUAN Camilo Restrepo, JUAN Carlos Ortíz
2017, 36(5): 31-43. doi: 10.1007/s13131-017-1054-7
Abstract:
This work aims to contribute to the characterization and understanding of infragravity waves on two beaches with erosion problems. For this reason, we have used an array of ADCP and a pressure sensor to measure wave parameters and pressure inside and...
A study on the relationships between the wave height and the El Niño in the north area of the South China Sea
HAN Shuzong, FAN Yongbin, DONG Yangyang, WU Shuangquan
2017, 36(5): 44-50. doi: 10.1007/s13131-017-1059-2
Abstract:
On the basis of the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMwF) 20 a wind field reanalysis data, the wave field of the north area of the South China Sea is calculated with the combination of the HIRHAM wind field model and the SWAN wav...
Dramatic weakening of the ear-shaped thermal front in the Yellow Sea during 1950s-1990s
Tana, FANG Yue, LIU Baochao, SUN Shuangwen, WANG Huiwu
2017, 36(5): 51-56. doi: 10.1007/s13131-016-0885-y
Abstract:
The ear-shaped thermal front (ESTF), formed by the convergence of the Yellow Sea Warm Current (YSWC) and the Shandong Coastal Current (SCC), is a very important oceanic phenomenon in the Yellow Sea (YS) in winter. In situ measurements and reanalysis ...
Prediction of salinity intrusion in the sheltered estuary of Terengganu River in Malaysia using 1-D empirical intrusion model
LEE Hin Lee, TANGANG Fredolin, GISEN Jacqueline Isabella, SURATMAN Saim
2017, 36(5): 57-66. doi: 10.1007/s13131-017-1060-9
Abstract:
Generally one dimensional (1-D) empirical salinity intrusion model is limited to natural alluvial estuary. However, this study attempts to investigate its ability to model a sheltered alluvial estuary of the Terengganu River in Malaysia. The construc...
Role of surface warming in the northward shift of tropical cyclone tracks over the South China Sea in November
SUN Jia, WANG Guihua, ZUO Juncheng, LING Zheng, LIU Dahai
2017, 36(5): 67-72. doi: 10.1007/s13131-017-1061-8
Abstract:
Tropical cyclones (TCs) formed in the Northwest Pacific Ocean (NWP) can cross the South China Sea (SCS) sometimes. It is found that the TC tracks in the SCS in November are shifted to the north after 1980 compared with those before 1980. Both data an...
The September 16, 2015 Mw 8.3 Illapel, Chile Earthquake: characteristics of tsunami wave from near-field to far-field
REN Zhiyuan, YUAN Ye, WANG Peitao, FAN Tingting, WANG Juncheng, HOU Jingming

Abstract:
On September 16, 2015, an earthquake with magnitude of Mw 8.3 occurred 46 km offshore from Illapel, Chile, generating a 4.4-m local tsunami measured at Coquimbo. In this study, the characteristics of tsunami are presented by a combination of analysis...
An advanced wind vector retrieval algorithm for the rotating fan-beam scatterometer

Abstract:
The rotating fan-beam scatterometer (RFSCAT) is a new type of satellite scatterometer that is proposed approximately 10 a ago. However, similar to other rotating scatterometers, relatively larger wind retrieval errors occur in the nadir and outer reg...
