碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 海洋環境資訊學系 / 95 / This study analyzed the satellite sea surface temperature (SST), chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a) from the Aqua satellite Moderate Resolution Imagining Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the sea surface wind (SSW) from the Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) satellite SeaWinds on the coast and western sea of Luzon. The results showed that the SST varied with season and latitude. The zonal line around 18∘N can be the boundary to separate the cooler water in north and warmer water in south. Meanwhile, the highest and spatially homogeneous SST was mainly in summer. We also found that the southwest coast of Luzon had the higher SST than the other coastal areas of the Luzon, while the SST in the north coast of the Luzon was always low during the period from December to May next year. The reason to cause low SST was probably owing to the cold-water upwelling in the cold seasons. For the Chl-a, the higher concentration was always on the coastal areas, especially on the north and northwest coast in the wintertime. The Chl-a in winter was found to be the highest of all seasons. Meanwhile, the relatively higher Chl-a were located 18∘N to the north and 122∘E to the west. For sea surface wind in the study area, it was always southwesterly in summer and northwesterly in the winter. The weakest wind was observed in spring while the strongest wind in fall and winter. It is found that the sea surface wind is the main factor to affect the SST and Chl-a in the north and northwest sea of Luzon.
