Abstract Oceanic mesoscale eddies with horizontal scales of 50–300 km are the most energetic form flows in ocean. They oceanic analogues atmospheric storms and effective transporters heat, nutrients, dissolved carbon, other biochemical materials Although have been ubiquitously observed world oceans since 1960s, our understanding their three-dimensional (3D) structure, generation, dissipation remains fragmentary due to lack systematic full water-depth measurements. To bridge this knowledge...

Abstract With characteristics of large amplitude and strong current, internal solitary wave (ISW) is a major hazard to marine engineering submarine navigation; it also has significant impacts on ecosystems fishery activity. Among the world oceans, ISWs are particular active in northern South China Sea (SCS). In this spirit, SCS Internal Wave Experiment been conducted since March 2010 using subsurface mooring array. Here, we report an extreme ISW captured 4 December 2013 with maximum 240 m...

Oceanic eddy-induced meridional heat transport (EHT) is an important process in the Southern Ocean budget, variability of which significantly modulates global overturning circulation (MOC) and Antarctic sea-ice extent. Although it recognized that mesoscale eddies with scales ~40-300 km greatly contribute to EHT, role submesoscale ~1-40 remains unclear. Here, using two state-of-the-art high-resolution simulations (resolutions 1/48° 1/24°), we find enhance total poleward EHT enhancement...

A pair of mesoscale eddies, namely, an anticyclonic eddy (AE) and a cyclonic (CE), generated southwest Taiwan was investigated using long‐term moored observations augmented with satellite reanalysis data. AE (CE) increased the upper‐ocean current to 100 cm/s (50 cm/s) temperature anomaly (T′) up 7.5°C (−3.0°C). The vertical structure presented phase difference between T′ velocity, core located south zero‐velocity line. This induced −28.5 ± 12.0 TW (1 = 10 12 W) westward heat transport...

Abstract Sheddings of Kuroshio Loop Current (KLC) eddies in the northeastern South China Sea (SCS) are investigated using mooring arrays, multiple satellite data, and data-assimilative HYCOM products. Based on altimeter sea surface heights between 1992 2014, a total 19 prominent KLC eddy shedding (KLCES) events were identified, among which four confirmed by concurrent moored observations. Compared to leaping behavior Kuroshio, KLCES is relatively short-duration phenomenon that primarily...

Oceanic mesoscale eddies with typical sizes of 30-200 km contain more than half the kinetic energy ocean. With an average lifespan several months, they are major contributors to transport heat, nutrients, plankton, dissolved oxygen and carbon in Mesoscale have been observed studied over past 50 years, nonetheless our understanding details their structure remains incomplete due lack systematic high-resolution measurements. To bridge this gap, a survey anticyclone was conducted early 2014...

The South China Sea (SCS) is the largest marginal sea in northwestern Pacific, and it known for its complex multiscale dynamic processes, including basin-scale circulations, mesoscale eddies, submesoscale processes (submesoscales), small-scale internal gravity waves. Compared with of other scales, submesoscales are a relatively new concept; they have gained rapidly increasing attention recent decades due to their uniquely important roles oceanic dynamics biogeochemistry. Considerable...

Abstract Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are devastating natural disasters. Analyzing four decades of global TC data, here we find that among all TC-active basins, the South China Sea (SCS) stands out as particularly difficult ocean for TCs to intensify, despite favorable atmosphere and conditions. Over SCS, intensification rate its probability a rapid (intensification by ≥ 15.4 m s −1 day ) only 1/2 1/3, respectively, those rest world ocean. Originating from complex interplays between astronomic...

Abstract One year long, full‐depth velocity measurements were used to examine the spatial structure and temporal variability of zonal flow in Luzon Strait (LSZF). The observation revealed a renewed mean structure: upper (<500 m) deep (>2000 layers, LSZF was mostly westward; intermediate layer (500–2000 m), it dominated by an eastward south but westward north. volume transport across observed section between 19.8°N 21.2°N exhibited strong seasonal intraseasonal variability. On time...

Abstract Although both geostrophic‐balanced mesoscale eddies and unbalanced small‐scale processes have been well studied in the northeastern South China Sea (NE‐SCS), less attention has devoted to submesoscales between (i.e., O (1–10 km)), which is recognized as an important conduit connecting balanced motions. Based on output from a 1/30° OGCM simulation, spatiotemporal characteristics generation mechanisms of NE‐SCS are investigated this study. Through examining submesoscale relative...

Abstract The role of mesoscale eddies in modulating the semidiurnal internal tide (SIT) northern South China Sea (SCS) is examined using data from a cross-shaped mooring array. From November 2013 to January 2014, an anticyclonic eddy (AE) and cyclonic (CE) pair crossed westward SIT beam originating Luzon Strait. Observations showed that, because current stratification modulations by pair, propagation speed mode-1 sped up (slowed down) 0.7 m s −1 (0.4 ) within AE’s (CE’s) southern portion. As...

Abstract Although observational efforts have been made to detect submesoscale currents (submesoscales) in regions with deep mixed layers and/or strong mesoscale kinetic energy (KE), there no long-term observations subtropical gyres, which are characterized by moderate values of both layer depths and KE. To explore dynamics this oceanic regime, two nested mesoscale- submesoscale-resolving mooring arrays were deployed the northwestern Pacific countercurrent region during 2017–19. Based on 2...

Abstract Cold and dense water from the North Pacific Ocean that spills through Luzon Strait, only deep conduit between South China Sea (SCS) Ocean, renews deep-water mass, modulates hydrographic biogeochemical cycles, drives abyssal overturning circulations in SCS. The variability of this key oceanic process, however, has been poorly studied, mainly due to a lack sustained observations. A comprehensive observational program started 2009 provided 12 years continuous time series velocity...

Abstract Oceanic submesoscale processes (submesoscales) with O (1–10) km horizontal scale can generate strong vertical buoyancy flux (VBF) that significantly modulate upper‐ocean stratification. Because submesoscales cannot be resolved by the prevailing ocean models, their VBFs have to properly parameterized in order improve model performance. Here, based on theoretical scaling analysis, we propose a new parameterization of VBF simultaneously considering mixed‐layer baroclinic instability...

Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides a good opportunity to study fine‐scale processes in the global ocean but whether it can detect balanced submesoscale eddies is uncertain due “contamination” by unbalanced inertial gravity waves. Here, based on concurrent observations from SWOT mooring array northwestern Pacific, we successfully captured two cyclonic with negative sea level anomalies (SLAs) spring 2023. We find that SLA amplitude equivalent radius of...

In this study, authors examine impacts of on ISWs transiting SCS deep basin that evolve from steepening tide generated Luzon Strait, using situ data collected a specifically designed mooring array.

Turbulent mixing, which is critically important for the equilibrium of ocean circulation, controlled by finescale turbulent shear (S2) oceanic flows through instability. Although relationship between S2 and mixing well understood, latitude-dependent generation processes remain poorly known due to lack geographically extensive, long-term velocity measurements. Here, using one-year ADCP data from 17 moorings along 143°E, we first show that upper-ocean its resultant rate have a W-shaped...
