Abstract:
Two important nonlinear properties of seawater thermodynamics linked to changes of water density, cabbeling and elasticity (compressibility), are discussed. Eddy diffusion and advection lead to changes in density;as a result, gravitational potential ...

Abstract:
Study of oceanic circulation and climate requires models which can simulate tracer eddy diffusion and advection accurately. It is shown that the traditional Eulerian coordinates can introduce large artificial horizontal diffusivity/viscosity due to t...

Abstract:
Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) change due to horizontal/isopycnal eddy diffusion and advection is examined. Horizontal/isopycnal eddy diffusion is conceptually separated into two steps: stirring and subscale diffusion. GPE changes associated wi...

Abstract:
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) source and sink due to stirring and cabbeling associated with sigma diffusion/advection is analyzed. It is shown that GPE source and sink is too big, and they are not closely linked to physical property distributi...

Abstract:
A total of 137 internal solitary waves (ISWs) are captured during a field experiment conducted in the deep basin west of the Luzon Strait (LS) from March to August, 2010. Mooring observations reveal that a fully developed ISW owns a maximum westward ...

Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3-D) finite volume coastal ocean model (FVCOM) was used for the study of water circulation and seawater exchange in the Benoa Bay, Bali Island. The M2 tidal component was forced in open boundary and discharge from six rivers was ...

Abstract:
Mesoscale eddies have been suggested to have an impact on biological carbon fixation in the South China Sea (SCS). However, their overall contribution to primary production during the spring inter-monsoon period is still unknown. Based on large-scale...
