Synthesis of moored observations collected during the IWISE 2011 field program in the South China Sea
Abstract
This proposal is to marry up the source moorings, PIES array, and basin moorings with the goal of tracking wave evolution from the generation sites to far field. Specifically, subjects which deserve further study in addition to the papers already published include: - study how the wave fronts evolve in 3D - how the different Kuroshio paths impact wave front evolution and its propagation process - the effect of a large mesoscale eddy along the propagation path - determine which waves at generation turn out to be large in the far field and the governing physics - use models to understand the physical basis for the spatially variable structure of the response - improve predictive skill, especially the wave amplitude in the far field - continue work on the various turbulent near-field processes, conduct model/data comparisons, and work toward determination of the locally dissipated energy fraction
