The Physics and Forecasting of Separation Phenomena in the Philippine Archipelago

Abstract

Collaborative with the PHILEX team in two separate areas is described. One involves stirring, mixing and Lagrangian predictability at the surface of the Phillipine Archipelago. This work uses dynamical system theory in combination with model and observations by other investigators in the PHILEX program. The second area concerns the deep circulation and, in particular, the overflow over the Panay Sill and its consequences for ventilation of the deep Sulu Sea.
