Trends and interannual variability of the surface winds (SW), sea height (SSH), temperature (SST) South China Sea (SCS) in 1993–2003 are analyzed using monthly products from satellite observations. Time series smoothed with a 12‐month running mean filter. The east north components SW, SSH, SST have linear trends 0.53 ± 0.35 ms −1 decade , −0.04 0.17 6.7 2.7 cm 0.50 0.26 K respectively. level rising rate warming significantly higher than corresponding global rates. An Empirical Orthogonal...

Acoustic Doppler current profiler observations were carried out at two stations along a transect northwest of the Karimata Strait from December 2007 to November 2008. One month and 10 months full‐depth data obtained western eastern stations, respectively. The show that South China Sea (SCS) water flows persistently Indonesian seas (ISs) in boreal winter. On basis current, temperature, salinity by conductivity‐temperature‐depth casts bottom‐mounted sensors, volume, heat, freshwater transport...

Harmonic analysis of 10 years TOPEX/Poseidon (TP) along‐track altimetry is performed to derive the semidiurnal, diurnal, long‐period, and quarter‐diurnal tides in Bohai, Yellow, East China Seas. The TP solutions are evaluated through intercomparison for crossover points comparison with ground truth, showing that accuracy study area has achieved levels 2–4 cm amplitudes 5° phase lags principal constituents (M 2 , S K 1 O a ). TP‐derived have systematic bias about −10% as compared indicating...

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are prolonged discrete events of anomalously warm seawater observed around the world. The occurrence MHWs in Japan/East Sea (JES), a middle latitude marginal sea with abundant aquatic resources, has severe impacts on marine ecosystems and human society. We used satellite remote sensing products spanning 1982–2020 to investigate mean states variations JES MHWs. results show that occurred twice per year. More than 40% were shorter duration 12.6 days weaker intensity 2.4...

As a ubiquitous movement in the ocean, tides are vital for marine life and numerous activities such as fishing ocean engineering. Tidal dynamics complicated East Asian marginal seas (EAMS) due to changing complex topography coastlines related human (e.g., land reclamation channel deepening) natural variability seasonal variations of stratification river flow). an important tool, numerical models widely used because they can provide basin-scale patterns tidal compared point-based tide gauges....

Abstract The offshore ocean heat supplied to the Antarctic continental shelves by warm eddies has potential greatly impact melting rates of ice and subsequent global sea level rise. While featured in modeling some observational studies, processes around how these form overcome dynamic sub-surface barrier Slope Front over upper slope not yet been clarified. Here we report on detailed observations persistent carrying modified Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) onto shelf Prydz Bay, East Antarctica,...

Fine structures of surface fronts during winter‐spring in the Taiwan Strait and their evolution over time are studied using satellite situ data. At times, different water masses interleaved into each other. The northward intruding warm bifurcates several branches, causing complicated multiple cross strait with maximum temperature gradients at to be greater than 2°C/km. mean velocity estimated from a sequence images is between 0.15 0.3 m/s February–March 2001 frontal event. speed appears have...

Abstract Numerous oceanic mesoscale eddies occur in the South China Sea (SCS). The present study employs eight automatic eddy detection algorithms to identify these and compares results. Eddy probabilities areas detected by various differ substantially. Most regions of SCS with a high discrepancy are those few eddies, except for area west Luzon Strait, Island between 12° 17°N, southernmost end basin. They primarily caused strong interference, noncircular shapes, gentle sea level anomaly...

The mid-depth ocean circulation is critically linked to actual changes in the long-term global climate system. However, past few decades, predictions based on models highlight lack of data, knowledge, and implications change assessment. Here, using 842,421 observations produced by Argo floats from 2001-2020, Lagrangian simulations, we show that only 3.8% oceans, including part equatorial Pacific Ocean Antarctic Circumpolar Current, can be regarded as accurately modelled, while other regions...
