Abstract
In this study, we report the phenomenon of sea surface chlorophyll-a (SSC) penetrating front south of Java Island based on satellite observations. The SSC penetrating front occurs frequently (∼17 times per month) during the upwelling season (June to November) and can also be observed (∼4 times per month) during the non-upwelling season (December to May). The offshore distance of the SSC penetrating front can reach up to 500 km and 350 km in the upwelling and non-upwelling seasons, respectively. Eddy-related advection along the eddy edges plays an important role in maintaining the SSC penetrating front by transporting nutrient-rich waters from the Java coast. The interannual variability of the SSC penetrating front is closely associated with the ENSO and IOD events, which tend to induce anomalous upwelling and enhanced mesoscale eddy activity, thereby leading to more frequent occurrences of the SSC penetrating fronts south of Java Island.
期刊介绍:
Deep-Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers is devoted to the publication of the results of original scientific research, including theoretical work of evident oceanographic applicability; and the solution of instrumental or methodological problems with evidence of successful use. The journal is distinguished by its interdisciplinary nature and its breadth, covering the geological, physical, chemical and biological aspects of the ocean and its boundaries with the sea floor and the atmosphere. In addition to regular "Research Papers" and "Instruments and Methods" papers, briefer communications may be published as "Notes". Supplemental matter, such as extensive data tables or graphs and multimedia content, may be published as electronic appendices.
