Dynamical analysis of submesoscale fronts associated with wind-forced offshore jet in the western South China Sea
Xiaolong Huang, Zhiyou Jing, Ruixi Zheng, Haijin Cao
2020, 39(11): 1-12. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1671-4
Abstract:
This study investigates the submesoscale fronts and their dynamic effects on the mean flow due to frontal instabilities in the wind-driven summer offshore jet of the western South China Sea (WSCS), using satellite observations, a 500 m-resolution num...
Influence of two inlets of the Luzon overflow on the deep circulation in the northern South China Sea
Muping Zhou, Changlin Chen, Yunwei Yan, Wenhu Liu
2020, 39(11): 13-20. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1621-1
Abstract:
An inverse reduced-gravity model is used to simulate the deep South China Sea (SCS) circulation. A set of experiments are conducted using this model to study the influence of the Luzon overflow through the two inlets on the deep circulation in the no...
Surface water exchanges in the Luzon Strait as inferred from Lagrangian coherent structures
Zhehao Zheng, Wei Zhuang, Jianyu Hu, Zelun Wu, Changjian Liu
2020, 39(11): 21-32. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1677-y
Abstract:
This study presents a Lagrangian view of upper water exchanges across the Luzon Strait based on the finite-time Lyapunov exponents (FTLE) fields computed from the surface geostrophic current. The Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs) extracted from t...
Effects of tidal currents on winter wind waves in the Qiongzhou Strait: a numerical study
Peng Bai, Zheng Ling, Cong Liu, Junshan Wu, Lingling Xie
2020, 39(11): 33-43. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1673-2
Abstract:
Effects of currents on winter wind waves in the tide-dominated Qiongzhou Strait (QS) were numerically evaluated via employing the coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave-sediment transport (COAWST) modeling system. Validations showed satisfactory model perform...
Mooring observed mode-2 internal solitary waves in the northern South China Sea
Liang Chen, Xuejun Xiong, Quanan Zheng, Yeli Yuan, Long Yu, Yanliang Guo, Guangbing Yang, Xia Ju, Jia Sun, Zhenli Hui
2020, 39(11): 44-51. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1667-0
Abstract:
The mode-2 internal solitary waves (ISWs) generated by mode-2 internal tide (IT) are identified by mooring observations in the northern South China Sea (SCS) from 2016 to 2017. Two mode-2 ISWs with a re-appearance period of 24.9 h observed on 29 and ...
Kuroshio intrusion in the Luzon Strait in an eddy-resolving ocean model and air-sea coupled model
Qian Yang, Hailong Liu, Pengfei Lin, Yiwen Li
2020, 39(11): 52-68. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1670-5
Abstract:
The Kuroshio intrusion in a quasi-global eddy-resolving model (LICOMH) and a fully air-sea coupled model (LICOMHC) was evaluated against observations. We found that the Kuroshio intrusion was exaggerated in the former, while biases were significantly...
Spatial structure of turbulent mixing of an anticyclonic mesoscale eddy in the northern South China Sea
Yongfeng Qi, Chenjing Shang, Huabin Mao, Chunhua Qiu, Changrong Liang, Linghui Yu, Jiancheng Yu, Xiaodong Shang
2020, 39(11): 69-81. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1676-z
Abstract:
Upper turbulent mixing in the interior and surrounding areas of an anticyclonic eddy in the northern South China Sea (SCS) was estimated from underwater glider data (May 2015) in the present study, using the Gregg-Henyey-Polzin parameterization and t...
Variations of mesoscale eddy SST fronts based on an automatic detection method in the northern South China Sea
Chunhua Qiu, Juan Ouyang, Jiancheng Yu, Huabin Mao, Yongfeng Qi, Jiaxue Wu, Danyi Su
2020, 39(11): 82-90. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1669-y
Abstract:
SST fronts at the mesoscale eddy edge (ME fronts) were investigated from 2007–2017 in the northern South China Sea (NSCS) based on an automatic method using satellite sea level anomaly (SLA) and SST data. The relative probabilities between the number...
Statistical analysis of mesoscale eddy propagation velocity in the South China Sea deep basin
Runqi Huang, Lingling Xie, Quanan Zheng, Mingming Li, Peng Bai, Keyi Tan
2020, 39(11): 91-102. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1678-x
Abstract:
Using mesoscale eddy trajectory product derived from satellite altimetry data from 1993 to 2017, this study analyzes the statistical characteristics of spatiotemporal distribution of mesoscale eddy propagation velocities ( C ) in the South China Sea ...
