Satellite Observations of Surface Signatures in the Philippine Sea
Abstract
The long term goal of this proposed project is 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. Features and processes of interest are those which drive the local spatial variability on short time scales, via their relation to abrupt topography and their interaction with the mean flow, tidal and seasonal cycles. In order to improve the understanding of these dynamical processes in Philippine Archipelago Straits we will collect satellite-based microwave observations to predict better the presence of features and processes in these straits.
