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

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALS. To determine the impact of the regional oceanographic and atmospheric mean and variable conditions on Philippine Archipelago. OBJECTIVES. To quantify the oceanographic stratification and shear and the corresponding intraseasonal, monsoonal, and ENSO variability controlling the boundary conditions of the Philippine Archipelago strait dynamics. APPROACH. Regional CTD and Lowered ADCP [CTD/LADCP] surveys in coordination with Amy Ffield [Earth and Space Science]. WORK COMPLETED. Analysis of archival in situ and satellite observational data of the Philippine Archipelago region in preparation for the field research in 2007 and 2008.
