Regional Stratification and Shear of the Various Streams Feeding the Philippine Straits

Abstract

The Analysis of in situ and satellite data with model output to investigate the stratification and shear of the Philippine seas at sub-meso to meso-scales to regional scales, so as to understand their relationship to the larger scale ocean and monsoon forcing. This work contributes to the "Characterization and Modeling of Archipelago Strait Dynamics" DRI [PhilEx] goal: to enhance our understanding of the oceanographic processes and features arising in and around straits, and improve our capability to predict the inherent spatial and temporal variability of these regions using models and advanced data assimilation techniques.
