This paper uses a numerical model to examine the conditions when eddies can or cannot freely propagate westward through the Luzon Strait into the South China Sea (SCS).
In this paper, we examine if eddies can cross the Kuroshio and propagate westward through the Luzon Strait. A nested three-dimensional, primitive-equation numerical ocean model is implemented to gain an understanding of the interplay between the strong boundary current and eddies.
In this paper, we prove by numerical experiments that the topography (Islands and bottom topography) in the Luzon Strait controls the gap-leaping path of the Kuroshio, then corresponding to the gap-leaping path of the Kuroshio, there is intense zonal potential vorticity (PV) gradient in Luzon Strait, which leads to the blocking of westward ...
An eddy tracking algorithm was applied to 26 years of altimetry data to better quantify the surface characteristics of eddies in and near the Luzon Strait with an emphasis on eddies with significant westward propagation across the northern SCS.
In this study, the effects of oceanic mesoscale eddies on the looping path of the Kuroshio intrusion (KI) were symmetrically investigated by composite analysis using merged satellite data.
Numerical twin experiments demonstrate from another point of view that the gap-leaping Kuroshio can efficiently block the westward propagating Rossby wave and eddy energy, while the fluctuating Kuroshio is less efficient for blocking.
This paper uses a numerical model to examine the conditions when eddies can or cannot freely propagate westward through the Luzon Strait into the South China Sea (SCS).
Using the reconstructed temperature/salinity datasets, we focus on the heat, salt and volume transports of eddies generated in the vicinity of the Luzon Strait in this paper. The organization of the rest of the paper is as follows.
This paper uses a numerical model to examine the conditions when eddies can or cannot freely propagate westward through the Luzon Strait into the South China Sea (SCS).
The formation of mesoscale eddies and the structure of the surface flow field in the Luzon Strait area were examined using in-situ CTD data, Argo float data, and multi-satellite remote sensing data collected from May to August 2009.
