英文摘要 | The summertime upwelling off the west coast of Hainan Island is newly detected by satellite remote sensing sea surface temperature, and confirmed by both historical field observations and numerical modeling. Furthermore, numerical experiments are conducted to gain understanding of the upwelling mechanisms. A tidal mixing front (TMF) is identified as the vital factor triggering the formation of the upwelling. The baroclinic pressure gradient force, which stems from the intense density difference across the TMF, causes a frontal-scale circulation at the TMF. As a result, upwelling appears as a branch of this circulation. The southwest monsoon induces downwelling, which competes with the front-induced upwelling. Climatologically, the upwelling dominates and can reach about 5 m below the sea surface above the slope bottom. In calm weather with no or weak winds, it is expected that the upwelling can reach all the way to the sea surface. |
