Tidal impact on modelling the circulation in the North Pacific Ocean and East Asian Marginal Seas

Tidal impact,,East Asian Marginal Seas,North Pacific Ocean

Tidal process is key to ocean dynamics and also air-sea interaction, causing change in the associated biogeochemical cycles. With focus on the tidal impact of upper-ocean circulation in the North Pacific Ocean and East Asian Marginal Seas, we utilize an ocean circulation model coupled / decoupled with a tidal module, and analyze the tide-induced change in ocean circulation change, in particular, water exchange between the North Pacific Ocean and East Asian Marginal Seas. Our results provide clues to understand dynamical cross-shelf exchange of water, energy and carbon from East Asian Marginal Seas to the North Pacific Ocean along with global warming.
