Shelf-Slope Physical/ Biological Response to Monsoonal Wind Forcing and Riverine Inflow-4D Sampling with Towed Profilers and Autonomous Gliders off Vietnam

Abstract

Strong lateral density gradients and deep mixed layers associated with Kuroshio Current intrusions and monsoon forcing, combined with complex topography and strong tidal forcing, drive energetic mesoscale and submesoscale variability in the northern South China Sea.
