We used satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST) data of the winters of 1996–2008 to examine the exceptional intrusion of China Coastal Current into the Taiwan Strait (TS). The long term observation reveals an exceptional cold water intrusion into the southern TS happened in February 2008. The warm Kuroshio Branch Current, which dominates the water around Chang-Yuen Ridge year round, was restricted...
It is known that the error of satellite chlorophyll-a concentration (Cchl-a) estimates is considerably larger in coastal waters compared with open areas. We have conducted a comparison of the satellite SeaWiFS ocean color scanner Cchl-a estimates, calculated by the OC2 algorithm, with the ship measurements taken in the north-western part of the Sea of Japan including both coastal areas (Peter the...
The XBT and sea surface salinity (SSS) measurements systematically carried out at near-fortnightly interval from May 2002 to August 2008 in the South Eastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) are utilised to describe the observed seasonal cycle and its interannual variability of the mixed layer depth (MLD), the near-surface thermal inversions, thermocline oscillations and the SSS. During the summer monsoon season...
Using seismographs and GPS displacement measurements, we have estimated the seafloor deformation history of the December 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake and the March 2005 Nias earthquake by separating their deformation period into intervals of 800-s, 1-h, and 6-months. We have then calculated their corresponding gravity changes (induced by the seafloor deformation), which are 11.3, 12.5, and 14.9...
The data of the Topex-Poseidon mission (altimetry, files MGDR), recorded on the Sea, bay or strait shows essential deflection of the Sea surface from geo-id. The amplitude of deflection is near to 1 m, the correlation radia is near to 50 km. Most deflections are viewed as the same one for different cycles of the mission, if we examine the same point of the Earth. This means that the main part of anomaly...
Natural and environmental disasters have profound social, economic, psychological, and demographic effects on the stricken individuals and communities. The literature of disaster management of the 21th Century has pointed out that there is a missing part in the knowledge, scientific research, and technological development that can optimise disaster risk reduction. With the improvement of dynamic optimisation...
