Abstract: Profiles of current velocity, temperature, and salinity were obtained in the Internal Wave and Mixing Experiment in the South China Sea (SCS), the Luzon Strait, and the North Pacific. The observations are examined for ...

Abstract: urbulent mixing in the northwestern Pacific Ocean is estimated using the Gregg?Henyey?Polzin scaling and Thorpe-scale methods. The data sources are the hydrographic observations during October and November 2005. The results ...

Abstract: three-dimensional distribution of turbulent mixing in the South China Sea (SCS) is obtained for the first time, using the Gregg?Henyey?Polzin parameterization and hydrographic observations from 2005 to 2012. Results indicate ...

Abstract: he Luzon Strait, with its deepest sills at the Bashi Channel and Luzon Trough, is the only deep connection between the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea (SCS). To investigate the deep-water overflow through the Luzon ...

Abstract: irect microstructure observations across three warm mesoscale eddies were conducted in the northern South China Sea during the field experiments in July 2007, December 2013, and January 2014, respectively, along with ...

Abstract: AbstractThe deep water overflow at three gaps in the Heng-Chun Ridge of the Luzon Strait is investigated based on long-term continuous mooring observations. For the first time, these observations enable us to assess the ...

Abstract: AbstractInternal waves can transfer energy from large-scale to microscale processes; however, the spectra of these waves remain poorly known. A method that combines modal harmonic decomposition and maximum-likelihood method ...

Abstract: AbstractThe role of mesoscale eddies in modulating the semidiurnal internal tide (SIT) in the northern South China Sea (SCS) is examined using the data from a cross-shaped mooring array. From November 2013 to January 2014, ...
