Lagrangian Observations of Nonlinear Internal Waves and Turbulence Mixing in Luzon Strait and South China Sea and Internal Wave in the Vicinity of the Kuroshio Path

Abstract

Two related projects were funded sequentially under the same grant number. The first was to conduct an experiment near DongSha Island, using the Lagrangian float, to understand the energy cascade from barotropic tides, internal tides, nonlinear internal waves, to turbulence mixing in the northern South China Sea. Results are reported. The second was to analyze observations of data taken in the vicinity of the Kuroshio path from Luzon Strait to the southern East China Sea. Results are reported.
