碩士 / 國立臺灣師範大學 / 地球科學系 / 95 / The Taiwan Strait located between Taiwan and China, connects the East China Sea and South China Sea. It is a narrow passage with complicated bottom topography. The direction of the Strait is roughly northeast to southwest.
Recently, hydrological and current conditions have become clear even more because of intensive observations in the Taiwan Strait. The Taiwan Strait model used in the present research has been validated with most of the observations. Since the model resolves temporal and spatial scales of interest, we use the results to discuss the seasonal and interannual variability of the upwelling in the Taiwan Strait.
This thesis focuses on three upwelling areas, including the north and south of Penghu Islands, and the northwestern coast of the Strait. All the upwelling occurs during the period from April to August. The shoaling bottom topography and the southwestern monsoon have a significant effect on the formation of the upwelling.
The upwelling strength is about the same between the north and south of Penghu Islands, where the sea surface temperature reaches its lowest in 2003 and is the highest in 2001. The upwelling strength in the northwestern coast of the Strait is the strongest in 2003 and the weakest in 2002.
