2014, 33(5): 1-7. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0467-9
Abstract:
Diurnal wind (DW) and nonlinear interaction between inertial and tidal currents near the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea (SCS) during the passage of Typhoon Conson (2010) are investigated using observational data and a damped slab model. It is f...
Formation and transport of intermediate water masses in a model of the Pacific Ocean
LI Yangchun, XU Yongfu
2014, 33(5): 8-16. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0480-z
Abstract:
A basin-wide ocean general circulation model of the Pacific Ocean was used to investigate how the interior restoration in the Okhotsk Sea and the isopycnal diffusion affect the circulation and intermediate water masses. Four numerical experiments wer...
The bimodality of the Luzon Strait deep water
WU Qingsong, ZHAO Jianru, ZHANG Junbiao, SHI Weiyong, LIU Chunqiu
2014, 33(5): 17-27. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0475-9
Abstract:
Combined conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) casts and Argo profiles, 3 086 historical hydrocasts were used to quantify the water column characteristics in the northern South China Sea (SCS) and its adjacent waters. Based on a two-dimensional "grave...
Estimation of vertical diffusion coefficient based on a onedimensional temperature diffusion equation with an inverse method
LIANG Hui, ZHAO Wei, DAI Dejun, ZHANG Jun
2014, 33(5): 28-36. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0472-z
Abstract:
Diapycnal mixing is important in oceanic circulation. An inverse method in which a semi-explicit scheme is applied to discretize the one-dimensional temperature diffusion equation is established to estimate the vertical temperature diffusion coeffici...
On the Fourier approximation method for steady water waves
ZHAO Hongjun, SONG Zhiyao, LI Ling, KONG Jun
2014, 33(5): 37-47. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0470-1
Abstract:
A computational method for steady water waves is presented on the basis of potential theory in the physical plane with spatial variables as independent quantities. The finite Fourier series are applied to approximating the free surface and potential ...
Validation of the “HY-2” altimeter wet tropospheric path delay correction based on radiosonde data
WANG Jin, ZHANG Jie, FAN Chenqing, WANG Jing
2014, 33(5): 48-53. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0473-y
Abstract:
Wet tropospheric path delay (PD) is a highly variable term for the altimeter measurement of a sea surface height, caused by the refraction effect of atmospheric water vapor and cloud liquid water. In order to estimate PD values, the "HY-2" system inc...
Coastal wind field retrieval from polarimetric synthetic aperture radar
ZHANG Yi, JIANG Xingwei, SONG Qingtao, LIN Mingsen, XIE Xuetong
2014, 33(5): 54-61. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0479-5
Abstract:
Coastal winds are strongly influenced by topology and discontinuity between land and sea surfaces. Wind assessment from remote sensing in such a complex area remains a challenge. Space-borne scatterometer does not provide any information about the co...
A new algorithm based on the background field for red tide monitoring in the East China Sea
XU Xiaohui, PAN Delu, MAO Zhihua, TAO Bangyi
2014, 33(5): 62-71. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0404-y
Abstract:
Remote sensing has been proven to be an effective means of monitoring red tides. The spectral information is an important basis for establishing a model to monitor red tides. The spectral curves of red tide events are analyzed and compared with multi...
Interannual variability of remotely sensed chlorophyll α during an autumn monsoon transitional period in the Taiwan Strait
ZHANG Caiyun, HONG Huasheng
2014, 33(5): 72-80. doi: 10.1007/s13131-014-0477-7
Abstract:
The time series of multiple sources of satellite data are used to examine the interannual variability of chlorophyll α concentration (Chl α) and its relation to the physical environment during the autumn monsoon transitional period in the Taiwan Stra...
