Mao-Lin Shen, Yu-Heng Tseng and Sen Jan Page 3 Introduction (1/5) Sea Surface Temperature (SST) November

Mao-Lin Shen, Yu-Heng Tseng and Sen Jan Page /5/9 Introduction (2/5) An active upwelling and nutrient-rich area The exchange of Kuroshio Water and Continental Water of East China Sea (Isobe, 2008; Matsuno et al., 2009) Fundamental characteristics have been well- documented by Gong et al. (1992), Lin et al. (1992), Tang and Tang (1994), Chen et al. (1995) and Tang et al. (1999), etc.

Mao-Lin Shen, Yu-Heng Tseng and Sen Jan Page /5/9 Introduction (3/5) Cheng, Ho et al., 2009, Sensors Chen, 1995 Kuroshio Tropical Water Kuroshio Surface Water

Mao-Lin Shen, Yu-Heng Tseng and Sen Jan Page 6 Introduction (4/5) Liu et al., 1992 Suggested the year round upwelling should be 5 m/day. Chen et al., 1995 Contribution of Kuroshio Water Kuroshio Tropical Water Hsueh, Wang, Chern, 1992, JGR. Stated how the baroclinic transport work in this region.

Mao-Lin Shen, Yu-Heng Tseng and Sen Jan Page /5/9 Mechanism Analysis (2/10) Wind-driven Ekman upwelling Boundary layer effect Current-driven Ekman upwelling Ekman boundary mixing Dynamic uplift: mesoscale eddy Kuroshio Topographical upwelling Vertical mixing Garrett et al. (1993), ARF. Boundary mixing

Mao-Lin Shen, Yu-Heng Tseng and Sen Jan Page /5/9 Mechanism Analysis (3/10) Wind-driven Ekman upwelling Boundary layer effect Current-driven Ekman upwelling Ekman boundary mixing Dynamic uplift: cyclonic eddy Kuroshio Topographical upwelling Vertical mixing

Mao-Lin Shen, Yu-Heng Tseng and Sen Jan Page /5/9 Mechanism Analysis ─ Wind-driven upwelling Wind-driven Ekman upwelling, : the thickness of Ekman layer Chang, Wu and Oey, 2009 Mean: -0.3 m/day Max: 0.7 m/day Wind-driven Ekman upwelling Needs 4~5 months to uplift 100 m with maximum upwelling velocities (7)

Mao-Lin Shen, Yu-Heng Tseng and Sen Jan Page /5/9 Mechanism Analysis ─ Boundary layer effects Boundary layer effect Current-driven Ekman upwelling Max: only about m/day Ekman boundary mixing Meridional current velocity distribution (Tang et al., 2000). Garrett et al. (1993), ARF. Boundary mixing W (m/day) Garrett et al. (1993), ARF. Boundary mixing Inverse currents introduced little dowelling transport.

Mao-Lin Shen, Yu-Heng Tseng and Sen Jan Page /5/9 Mechanism Analysis (6/10) Wind-driven Ekman upwelling: -0.3 m/day Boundary layer effect Current-driven Ekman upwelling: m/day Ekman boundary mixing: inverse flow Dynamic uplift mesoscale eddy Kuroshio Topographically controlled upwelling Vertical mixing Isotherm redistribution due to upwelling. Zonal temperature profile at 25.6°N Buoyancy instabilityDiffusion, little H. Advection Temperature increasing UpwellingMixing

Mao-Lin Shen, Yu-Heng Tseng and Sen Jan Page /5/9 Mechanism Analysis (7/10) Isothermal plain have lower depth east of Kuroshio and higher depth on CDFR. The isothermal plain on CDFR can be shallower than 50 m deep. Isothermal plain at 21 ℃ calculated by model output.

Mao-Lin Shen, Yu-Heng Tseng and Sen Jan Page /5/9 Mechanism Analysis (8/10) ─ Isotherm uplift Comparison of uplift height introduced by different mechanism. Topographical upwelling, eddy-introduced dynamic uplift and other minor effects.

Mao-Lin Shen, Yu-Heng Tseng and Sen Jan Page /5/9 Mechanism Analysis (9/10) ─ Topographic effects Only the realistic bathymetry can constrain sufficient cold water source for surface cold-dome formation. Flow field and temperature at 50 m numerical experiments. (a) Realistic bathymetry (b) Deepened Case(c) Shallowed Case

Mao-Lin Shen, Yu-Heng Tseng and Sen Jan Page /5/9 Mechanism Analysis (10/10) ─ vertical mixing Instantaneous zonal profiles of temperature and eddy diffusivities at 25.6°N. The vertical temperature gradient near surface coupled with the high surface eddy diffusivities suggested energetic vertical heat transfer in surface cold-dome. (a) Zonal Temperature ( ℃ ) profile (b) Vertical eddy diffusivities (cm 2 /s)

Mao-Lin Shen, Yu-Heng Tseng and Sen Jan Page /5/9 Conclusion (1/2) Different cold-dome patterns from the observations. Evident cold-domes can be found due to the typhoons. Dynamic uplift introduced by Kuroshio dominates the fundamental pattern of cold-dome. Bathymetry not only suggests topographically controlled upwelling, but also constrains cold water in deep sea northeast of Taiwan.

Mao-Lin Shen, Yu-Heng Tseng and Sen Jan Page /5/9 Conclusion (2/2) Mesoscale eddy contributes few dynamic uplift but can reduces horizontal advection for cold-dome. Dynamic due to the surface and bottom boundary layers is too weak for the observed cold-dome formation. Vertical mixing plays an important role for surface cold-dome formation.
