Satellite Observation of Sea Surface Temperature, Chlorophyll-a Concentration and Wind of the Luzon Strait / 呂宋海峽海表溫、葉綠素甲濃度及風場之衛星觀測

碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 海洋環境資訊學系 / 95 / Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the variation of the Aqua satellite Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) data in the Luzon Strait during the period between 2002 and 2006 and the related Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) satellite SeaWinds data from 1999 to 2006. From SST satellite images, it is found that the Kuroshio intrusion into the Luzon Strait is much clearer in winter than in summer. Meanwhile, the stronger sea surface wind can push the Kuroshio more westerward during wintertime. From Chl-a satellite images, the intrusion of the low Chl-a Kuroshio is much more obvious than that in SST images, it always displays as a clockwise loop to intrude the Luzon Strait. Comparing SST with Chl-a data, we can see a negative correlation between them in the study area, especially in the west of the Kuroshio. In interannual scale, the summer 2004 and summer 2006 are the coldest and warmest summer, respectively. Besides, the wind speed shows a clear decreasing trend during 1999~2002 no matter in summer or winter.
