South China Sea Isopycnal-Surface Circulation
(2000-09)
This paper investigates the seasonal variabilities of the South China Sea isopycnal-surface circulations and
of the Kuroshio intrusion through the Luzon Strait using the U.S. Navy’s climatological temperature and ...
Coastal Atmospheric-Oceanic Coupled System (CAOCS) for the South China Sea (SCS)-a Modeling Component of the International South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX)
(1999-09)
LONG-TERM GOALS: The main goal is to establish a nowcast system for regional seas, including the South China Sea. This system will have the capability of diagnosing three dimensional velocity, temperature, and salinity ...
True gravity in ocean dynamics Part 1 Ekman transport
(Elsevier, 2021)
The direction normal to the Earth spherical (or ellipsoidal) surface is not vertical (called deflected vertical) since the vertical direction is along the true gravity g (= igλ+ jgφ+ kgz). Here, (λ, φ, z) are (longitude, ...
South China Sea Isopycnal-Surface Circulation
(2000-09)
This paper investigates the seasonal variabilities of the South China Sea isopycnal-surface circulations and
of the Kuroshio intrusion through the Luzon Strait using the U.S. Navy’s climatological temperature and ...
Evaluation of the Princeton Ocean Model Using South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX) Data
(American Meteorological Society, 2001-09)
The Princeton Ocean Model (POM) has been implemented in the South China Sea for hindcast of circulation
and thermohaline structure. A two-step technique is used to initialize POM with temperature, salinity, and velocity
for ...
World ocean annual mean absolute geostrophic velocity on marine geoid of EIGEN-6C4 from WOA13
(Wiley, 2021-05-03)
This data set was established from two open sources: (a) geoid undulation (N) from EIGEN-6C4, which is a static global combined gravity field model up to degree and order 2,190, and (b) ‘World ocean geostrophic velocity ...
Ocean dynamic equations with the real gravity
(natureportfolio, 2021)
Two different treatments in ocean dynamics are found between the gravity and pressure gradientforce. Vertical component is 5–6 orders of magnitude larger than horizontal components for the pressure gradient force in ...
Hydrostatic correction for sigma coordinate ocean models
(2003)
How to reduce the horizontal pressure gradient error is a key issue in terrain-following coastal models. The horizontal pressure gradient splits into two parts, and incomplete cancellation of the truncation errors of those ...
A Complete Formula of Ocean Surface Absolute Geostrophic Current
(Springer, 2020)
Absolute geostrophic current at the ocean surface (S) contains three components: (1) absolute geostrophic current at the geoid undulation (N), (2) geostrophic shear (between S and N) due to horizontal gradient of dynamic ...
