internal solitary wavefissionSouth China SeaUsing high-resolution full-water column velocity data at a site of 60 m depth on the northeastern shelf of the South China Sea, we observed high-frequency internal waves (HIWs) occurring continuously on the continental shelf during the 15-hour ...
In this paper, by non-dimensional analysis, it is found that finite-depth theory is more appropriate to the study of internal solitary waves (ISWs) in the South China Sea (SCS) than shallow-water theory. The 1-degree grid data of monthly mean temperature and salinity data at standard leve...
Based on the temperature data recorded by a mooring system deployed in the northern South China Sea (SCS), this study compares the traditional methods of identifying and extracting internal solitary waves (ISWs): the whole water column isotherm (WCI) method and the single isotherm (SI) method,...
The ISWs in the South China Sea are the largest amplitude waves in the world; these waves occur in the tidal period, up to twice a day, and generally in the form of wave packets24. Here, ubiquitous ISWs are believed to generate in the Luzon Strait and propagate in the WNW direction,...
Interestingly, however, there has been no analogous item in the recent joint documents — even after another, even more intense, wave of anti-China sentimentsburst forthin 2014 during the HYSY-981 oil rig standoff. Its omission from subsequent documents might indicate an acceptance on China’s ...
They are able to demonstrate the complex 3D generation mechanism of type-A and type-B NLIWs in the Luzon Strait which further shows a critical need to resolve the processes of wave generation, propagation and dissipation with actual bathymetry, initial/boundary conditions, and driving forces. ...
One recent feature piece was framed to be critical of the government’s current position, specifically the idea of China not firing the first shot, being titled, ‘Fisherfolk’s grief: we don’t fire the first shot, countries occupying the islands have fired countless shots‘. In his new ...
hydrate decomposition, the largely impermeable sediments overlying the gas chimney may have undergone a major upward deformation due to the buoyancy extrusion of the over- pressure in the gas chimney, and slope failure was initiated from plastic strain of the sediments and reduced internal strength. ...
