Analysis and Synthesis of Data From the WISE/VANS 2005-06 and NLIWI/SCOPE 2007 Field Experiments

Abstract

The objective of this grant is to improve understanding of how the large-amplitude internal waves and tides in the northeastern South China Sea are generated via interaction of the barotropic tide with the ridges and islands in the Luzon Strait. In addition to the problem's inherent scientific interest, understanding the generation problem is essential for developing a forecast model to predict the wave characteristics in the deep basin and on the Chinese continental slope and shelf.
