Surface Kuroshio path in the Luzon Strait area derived from satellite remote sensing data
[1] Satellite ocean color, sea surface temperature, and altimeter data are used to study the surface Kuroshio path in the Luzon Strait area. The results suggest that the dominant path of surface Kuroshio intrusion in winter is a direct route from northeast of Luzon to southwest of Taiwan and then westward along the continental slope of northern South China Sea. Anticyclonic intrusions of the Ku...
متن کاملKuroshio intrusion and the circulation in the South China Sea
[1] The Princeton Ocean Model is used to study the circulation in the South China Sea (SCS) and its seasonal transition. Kuroshio enters (leaves) the SCS through the southern (northern) portion of the Luzon Strait. The annually averaged net volume flux through the Luzon Strait is 2 Sv into the SCS with seasonal reversals. The inflow season is from May to January with the maximum intrusion of Ku...
متن کاملBlocking and Westward Passage of Eddies in the Luzon Strait
Satellite observations have shown the abundance of generally westward-propagating eddies in the subtropical regions in the North Pacific Ocean, especially north of 101N. Eddies transport mass, and can significantly impact the circulation as well as the heat, salt and nutrient balances of the western Pacific marginal seas. This paper uses a numerical model to examine the conditions when eddies c...
متن کاملA numerical investigation of the phytoplankton bloom in the Bay of Bengal during Northeast Monsoon
[1] A 4.5-layer model of the Indian Ocean coupled to a four-component (NPZD) ecosystem model is used to study the phytoplankton bloom in the Bay of Bengal during the Northeast Monsoon of 1996. The model realistically simulates the surface chlorophyll bloom observed by satellite-derived ocean-color images in the western Bay of Bengal during that time. It also reproduces the subsurface chlorophyl...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Kuroshio and its Associated Luzon Strait throughflow by Ocean Acoustic Tomography
The Luzon Strait is a key place in the East Asian climate change study. The climate condition of the South China Sea is significantly controlled by the Luzon Strait transport (LST) (Qu et al., 2004; Liu et al., 2008). Variability in the Kuroshio origin around the strait is mostly caused by the LST, and significantly affects the oceanic variability around Japan and Korea in the downstream. In sp...
