Generation and Evolution of Internal Waves in Luzon Strait

Abstract

The primary objectives of this observational program are to quantify 1) the generation of NLIWs and internal tides in the vicinity of Luzon Strait, 2) the energy flux of NLIWs and internal tides into the Pacific Ocean and South China Sea (SCS), 3) the effects of the Kuroshio on the generation and propagation of NLIWs and internal tides, 4) the seasonal variation of NLIWs and internal tides, and 5) to study other small-scale processes, e.g., hydraulics and instabilities along internal tidal beams and at the Kuroshio front.
