“…The near‐inertial internal waves (18–19‐hr period) appeared after the strong wind stress (Igeta et al., 2009). It is interesting to consider the interaction between the TWC and the short‐term variation, including not only tides but also atmospheric wind forcing (Kaneda et al., 2017; Takikawa et al., 2017), for future observations. However, in this observation period, we could not find a remarkable variation caused by wind forcing (Figure 6d).…”

Fortnightly Variation of the Tsushima Warm Current on the Continental Shelf in the Southwestern Japan Sea

et al. 2021

The first and second branches of the Tsushima Warm Current flow on the continental shelf and along the shelf break/slope in the southwestern Japan Sea, respectively. The second branch corresponds to the offshore side of the bottom temperature front between the offshore cold and nearshore warm waters. Across the Tsushima Warm Current on the continental shelf and the shelf edge, five bottom‐mounted ADCPs with temperature sensors were deployed between middle June and late July 2014. At the shelf edge, the bottom temperature varied with the diurnal tidal cycle. The offshore bottom cold‐water intruded into the continental shelf region in conjunction with the fortnightly spring‐neap (2‐week) cycle which is the modulation of the diurnal K1 and O1 internal tides. The bottom temperature front and the first branch of the Tsushima Warm Current on the continental shelf intensified in response to the bottom cold‐water intrusion.
