Description of Project 2.1 Nature and objectives of the project: IWISE is focused on the internal wave response in sea straits to tidal forcing. Luzon Strait has been selected as the focus area because of the large tidal currents in the area, which generate large amplitude internal waves. These internal waves, with ranges up to 150m are a prominent feature of the South China Sea and readily visible in remote sensing images. The waves have been intensively studied in recent years, especially to the west of the strait where their amplitude and nonlinear behavior is greatly modified due to effects wave steepening and the decreasing water depth. Of particular interest in this project is measurement of the internal waves over a several month period to see how modulation of the Kuroshio affects the generation. 2.2 Relevant previous or future research projects: During 2010, a pilot phase of the IWISE experiment was conducted the R/V Roger Revelle. The 2011 field program is the primary IWISE field season, and the study will involve a number of different instrument systems. The pilot program consisted of two expeditions: 19 June-2 July, 2010 R/V Roger Revelle (Chief Scientist: Robert Pinkel) IWISE-pilot program. 5 August 5 September 2010, R/V Roger Revelle (Chief Scientist: Matthew Alford) IWISE-pilot program. 1 of 5 11/19/10 8:57 AM
