An Unstructured Grid, Finite-Volume, Three-Dimensional, Primitive Equations Ocean Model: Application to Coastal Ocean and Estuaries

TL;DR: An unstructured grid, finite-volume, three-dimensional (3D) primitive equation ocean model has been developed for the study of coastal oceanic and estuarine circulation as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discharge of the Changjiang (Yangtze River) into the East China Sea

TL;DR: In this article, the spatial and temporal structure of the Changjiang (Yangtze River) discharge over the inner and mid continental shelf off eastern China has been analyzed using hydrographic and current meter data collected during June 1980, August 1981, and November 1981.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Current System in the Yellow and East China Seas

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used satellite-tracked surface drifters to study the current system in the Yellow and East China Seas and found that in winter the Tsushima Warm Current has a single source, the Kuroshio Branch Current in the west of Kyushu, which transports a mixture of Kuroshiso Water and Changjiang River Diluted Water northward.
Journal ArticleDOI

Internal tide and nonlinear internal wave behavior at the continental slope in the northern south China Sea

TL;DR: A field program to measure acoustic propagation characteristics and physical oceanography was undertaken in April and May 2001 in the northern South China Sea as discussed by the authors, where 21 moorings in water of 350- to 71-m depth near the continental slope.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Generation of Long Nonlinear Internal Waves in a Weakly Stratified Shear Flow

TL;DR: In this article, an internal Korteweg and deVries (KdV) type equation for the stream function is derived for a weakly density stratified shear flow by using a three-parameter expansion method where the three small parameters correspond to nonlinear, dispersive, and non-Boussinesq effects.
