1. WATER MASS TRANSFORMATIONS
Two simulation with and without tidal forcing are available. A simple way of studying the water mass transformations is to analyse the T, S, and TS diagrams of both simulations and look the changes brought by tides.
- Here are TS diagrams on different zones of the Solomon Sea. The analysis are done from daily output for 1995-1997.
- Temperature and salinity over sigma 23.3 and 25.7
Temperature | SOSTIDE36-AM & SOSTIDE36-SM |
---|---|
Salinity | SOSTIDE36-AM & SOSTIDE36-SM |
- Generation sites: W' = W - Wb; where W is the vertical velocity and Wb is vertical barotropic velocity.
Wb = integral (1/h * Wdz)
There are three (3) generation zones in the Solomon Sea: Solomon Strait, Solomon Islands and around Louisiade Archipelago.
