Large-Amplitude Internal Solitary Waves Observed in the Northern South China Sea: Properties and Energetics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ive large-amplitude internal solitary waves (ISWs) propagating westward on the upper continental slope in the northern South China Sea were observed in May?June 2011 with nearly full-depth measurements of velocity, ...
A Composite View of Surface Signatures and Interior Properties of Nonlinear Internal Waves: Observations and Applications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface signatures and interior properties of large-amplitude nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) in the South China Sea (SCS) were measured during a period of weak northeast wind (?2 m s?1) using shipboard marine radar, an ...
Nonlinear Internal Wave Properties Estimated with Moored ADCP Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: method is developed to estimate nonlinear internal wave (NLIW) vertical displacement, propagation direction, and propagation speed from single moored acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) velocity observations. The ...
Latitudinal Structure of Solitons in the South China Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractFour current-meter moorings and 12 pressure sensor?equipped inverted echo sounders (PIES) were deployed during summer 2011 in the South China Sea. The goal of the experiment was to obtain synoptic observations of ...
Speed and Evolution of Nonlinear Internal Waves Transiting the South China Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the South China Sea (SCS), 14 nonlinear internal waves are detected as they transit a synchronous array of 10 moorings spanning the waves? generation site at Luzon Strait, through the deep basin, and onto the upper ...
Trapped Core Formation within a Shoaling Nonlinear Internal Wave
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: arge-amplitude (100?200 m) nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) were observed on the continental slope in the northern South China Sea nearly diurnally during the spring tide. The evolution of one NLIW as it propagated up the ...
