Journal ArticleDOI

Standing wave modes observed in the South China Sea deep basin

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deal with standing wave or seiche events using cruise observations, satellite altimeter data, and theoretical analysis, and show that the observed internal oscillations are a portion of 2-D seiche modes, which lasted for at least 2 weeks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnosis of 3D Vertical Circulation in the Upwelling and Frontal Zones East of Hainan Island, China

TL;DR: Using the generalized omega equation and cruise observations in July 2012, the authors analyzed the 3D vertical circulation in the upwelling region and frontal zone east of Hainan Island, China.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic interpretation of space shuttle photographs: Deepwater internal waves in the western equatorial Indian Ocean

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the deep-ocean internal waves in the form of a multisoliton packet in which there are about a dozen solitons and derived that the mean amplitude of the soliton is 25 m, the nonlinear phase speed is 1.7 m/s, and the average period is 18 min.
Journal ArticleDOI

SeaWiFs observations of upwelling south of Madagascar: long-term variability and interaction with East Madagascar Current

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used wide field-of-view sensor data from September 1997 to November 2001 to observe upwelling south of Madagascar and found that the upwatering is enhanced in austral winter each year except 1999 and in australsummer each year, except 2001.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observation of summertime upwelling off the eastern and northeastern coasts of Hainan Island, China

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of wind, freshwater, and turbulent mixing on the two upwellings were analyzed using cruise observations and reanalysis data, and the composites of sea surface temperature (SST), wind, and precipitate for each upwelling pattern identify that the HNEU is associated with the prevailing southeasterly wind and can be limited in the lower layer when it is covered by freshwater.
