Tracking Kuroshio and Eddy Interactions East of Taiwan using Advanced HF Radar Processing Techniques
Abstract
The proposed work would implement advanced HF radar processing techniques on a uniquesystem of land-based radars capable of observing ocean surface currents at spatial and temporalscales of 6 km and 1 hour continuously over wide areas around Taiwan. While the pr"esentquality of the Taiwanese HF radar data is not sufficient for detailed scientific analyses, initialefforts to reprocess using"" improved methods has offered dramatic improvements. Thus, this workclosely aligns with recent and near-term research priorities in" the area of the Kuroshio and itsinteractions with mesoscale eddies as well as water mass transformation during intrusions of theK"uroshio into the South China Sea, augmenting these studies with new observations on keyaspects of the regional dynamics.
