The northern South China Sea (SCS) including the Luzon Strait, from around 19deg to 22degN latitude and from 114deg to 122degE longitude, is an ocean area where energetic internal waves occur frequently. In this study, satellite ocean color products from SeaWiFS (Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor) and MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) including true color and chlorophyll images...
TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P) satellite altimeter data from 1992 to 1999 and insitu measurements from 1980 to 1999 are used to analyze the upper layer thickness (ULT) in the South China Sea (SCS). The ULT is defined as the depth of the 14degC isotherm from insitu measurements. In comparison with the ULT derived from insitu measurements and that derived from T/P altimeter data yields a correlation coefficient...
In this paper, the seasonal and interannual variability of the chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a) and sea surface wind (SSW) fields in the South China Sea (SCS) are analyzed using Orbview-2/SeaWiFS, and ERS-1/2 and QuikSCAT satellite data. The mode 1 results of the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis for Chl-a indicate the higher Chl-a is mainly along the coastal areas in the SCS, while...
In this study, Sea surface temperature (SST) derived from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) series satellites Advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) infrared radiometer and sea surface height (SSH) derived from TOPEX/Poseidon satellite altimeter were used to estimate the sea surface heat storage in the South China Sea (SCS). Temperature profiles from in-situ measurements...
