The role of eddy merging in maintaining the quasi-permanent Ulleung Eddy
Eddy merging plays a crucial role in maintaining the lifetimes of quasi-permanent eddies. This study used satellite observations and 3D reanalysis data to investigate the eddy merging process of a quasi-permanent eddy, known as the Ulleung Eddy, in the Ulleung Basin (UB) of the Sea of Japan. The results showed that the number of cyclonic eddies in the Sea of Japan was greater than that of anticyclonic eddies. However, regarding long-lived eddies (>360 days), which were mostly distributed in UB, the number of anticyclonic eddies was greater than that of cyclonic eddies. The eddy merging process is beneficial for strengthening the Ulleung Eddy and maintaining its quasi-permanent state. Through a case analysis of 3D reanalysis data, considerable instability was observed during the merging of the Ulleung Eddy. During the eddy merging process, energy conversion associated with baroclinic instability is dominant. In particular, 95.8 % of the eddy merging processes exhibited a conversion from mean potential energy to eddy potential energy, whereas 83.3 % of the eddy merging processes demonstrated a conversion from mean kinetic energy to eddy kinetic energy. The merging of the Ulleung Eddy is conducive to its maintenance and development.
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.
