| Zusammenfassung |
| A legacy seismic transect acquired on 30 and 31 May 2009 in the southern
South China Sea (SCS) was reprocessed to reveal the thermohaline structure
of the water column. In the study region, a mesoscale subsurface lens with
extraordinary features was detected at 113.5° E, 11.5° N. It is centred at 450 m depth, occupies both the subsurface and
intermediate water from 250 to 600 m, and has an intersection diameter of
around 60 km. The simulated results from Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model
reveal an eddy-induced subsurface current running southwestward along the
deep basin edge and suggest that the imaged lens is a snapshot of the
subsurface current core rather than a subsurface eddy. |
