Coastal Ocean-Atmospheric Coupled System (COACS) for the South China Sea (SCS)-a Modeling Component of the International South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX)
نویسنده
چکیده
The main goal is to establish a nowcast system for regional seas, including the South China Sea. This system will have the capability of diagnosing three dimensional velocity, temperature, and salinity fields from satellite and sparse in-situ observations. This system will be easily embedded into the prediction system (e.g., Princeton Ocean Model). The combined nowcast/forecast system will greatly enhance existing operational capability.

Characteristics of the 1998 Summer Monsoon Onset over the Northern South China Sea
Observations from the May–June 1998 South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX) have been used to determine the characteristics of the onset of the summer monsoon over the northern South China Sea (SCS). The onset occurred in mid-May with a rapid increase in deep convection over a weekto-ten-day period, followed by a ~ten-day break, and then a resumption of deep convection for a week-toten-day ...
متن کاملContrasting Characteristics of Convection over the Northern and Southern South China Sea during SCSMEX
Observations from two enhanced sounding arrays during the May–June 1998 South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX) are used to determine and contrast the properties of convection over the northern and southern South China Sea (SCS). A regression analysis between SST data and monthly rainfall indicates that the ENSO signal exerted a strong influence on the rainfall distribution over the SCS dur...
متن کاملOcean Nowcast/Forecast Systems for Improvement of Naval Undersea Capabilities
The U.S. Navy is a major investor in ocean model development. The pay-off of such an investment is the value-added ocean nowcast/forecast systems on naval operations and warfare effectiveness. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the value added of the Navy’s nowcast/forecast system to naval antisubmarine warfare (ASW) and anti-surface warfare (ASUW). The nowcast/forecast versus observat...
متن کاملKuroshio intrusion and the circulation in the South China Sea
[1] The Princeton Ocean Model is used to study the circulation in the South China Sea (SCS) and its seasonal transition. Kuroshio enters (leaves) the SCS through the southern (northern) portion of the Luzon Strait. The annually averaged net volume flux through the Luzon Strait is 2 Sv into the SCS with seasonal reversals. The inflow season is from May to January with the maximum intrusion of Ku...

To detect eddies, intensive surveys of the northeast South China Sea (SCS) (114°30′– 121°30′ E, 17°–22°N) were conducted in July 1998 during the international SCS Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX), the U.S. Navy using Airborne Expendable Bathythermograph and Conductivity-Temperature-Depth sensors (AXBT/AXCTD), and the Chinese Academy of Sciences using Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP). The hy...
