Abstract:The wind wake on the lee side of Hainan Island in the winter covers the southwest entrance of Beibu Gulf (or Gulf of Tonkin) and is essential to regional ocean dynamics. Using multiple satellite observations including advanced synthetic aperture radar (ASAR), we revisited the wake process during the winter of 2011. Asymmetric oceanic thermal responses were found with a warm band expanding northwestwardly while a cold tongue formed to the southeast. Combining satellite observations, model simulations, and reana… Show more
“…Sha et al [6] revealed asymmetric oceanic thermal responses corresponding to an island wind wake and proposed associated mechanisms with ocean heat advection terms. Using multisensor remote sensing observations including advanced synthetic aperture radar (ASAR), the work investigated the sub-mesoscale features of the local wind wake.…”
