摘要 | Mesoscale eddies have been observed in the Sulu Sea, but their characteristics have not been well described. This study investigates the eddy population in the Sulu Sea using 22 years of satellite altimeter data with high spatiotemporal resolution. On average, there are approximately 1.6 eddies observed in the Sulu Sea each day and 1.8 eddy tracks generated each month. Two of the main eddy genesis regions are west of Negros Island and the Zamboanga Peninsula. The mean radius, lifespan and propagation speed of the eddies are 76.6 km, 32 days and 4.5 cm/s, respectively. The eddy radius and amplitude are generally large in the central Sulu Sea but small on its margin. The mean eddy kinetic energy and vorticity generally monotonically decrease from south to north, consistent with the distributions of background current kinetic energy. Over the seasonal cycle, there are more cyclonic eddies during boreal winter, and they tend to have a larger amplitude and radius than the other 3 seasons, while there are more anti-cyclonic eddies during boreal summer, and they tend to have a larger amplitude and radius than the other 3 seasons. The instability of the mean current and the island gap wind jets are the two key eddy genesis mechanisms in the Sulu Sea. |
