The Influence of the ridge across the Western boundary current / 橫向海脊對西方邊界流流徑影響之探討

碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 海洋研究所 / 86 / Analysising the bouy data of WOCE/KSVP, the RyuKyu arc showsits effect to
the path of Kuroshio. A branch of Kuroshio turns toeastward and moves as wav
es. Developing a barotropic numerical model to examine the influence of the r
idge across the Western boundary current. According to model results, the rid
ge leads toTaylor column effect, blocks the northward flow and forces it totur
n to eastward. Analysising the balance of vorticity, in the southern region o
f the ridge, some non-linear performance likerecirculation or Rossby wave can
be found, and it has almost thesame dynamic structure of the Northwestern regi
on of the generalwind-driven ocean circulation. The length of the ridge, its
location and the width of the channel between boundary and ridgedetermine the
pattern of this region.
