Shelfbreak Circulation and Thermohaline Structure in the Northern South China Sea—Contrasting Spring Conditions in and Shelfbreak circulation and thermohaline structure in the northern south China Sea-contrasting spring conditions in and Abstract: Two intensive, high-resolution hydrographic surveys during April and May are used to characterize the thermohaline and current structure at the shelfbreak in the South China Sea.

The seasonal ocean circulation and thermal structure in the South China Sea (SCS) were studied numerically using the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) with 20 km horizontal resolution and 23 sigma levels conforming to a realistic bonom topography.

The circulation in the basin of the South China Sea is reproduced using a four-layer numerical model. Current fields in the second (upper) and third (intermediate) layers are emphasized.

The South China Sea (SCS) is a large marginal sea connecting the Indian and Pacific oceans. The thermohaline circulation is that part of the ocean circulation which is driven by fluxes of heat and freshwater across the sea surface and subsequent interior mixing of heat and salt.

The term thus refers to a driving mechanism. Important features of the thermohaline circulation are deep water formation,Cited by: The bottom topography of (a) the South China Sea and (b) the Luzon Strait. The thick solid black lines indicate the m isobath.

Abstract [1] A three‐dimensional ocean model has been utilized to study circulation and its seasonal variation in the South China Sea (SCS) in response to the forcing of the Asian monsoon and the Kuroshio intrusion.

The SCS ocean model has a resolution Cited by: The thermohaline circulation is mainly driven by the formation of deep water masses in the North Atlantic and the Southern Ocean caused by differences in temperature and salinity of the water.

The great quantities of dense water sinking at high latitudes must be offset by equal quantities of. The seasonal characteristics and formation mechanism of the thermohaline structure of mesoscale eddy in the South China Sea are investigated using the latest eddy dataset and ARMOR3D by: 1.
