Sea Surface Temperature variability in the Indonesian Seas

利用区域数值模式研究了印度尼西亚海季节性海表面温度(SST)变化的基本机制。我们发现季风风是造成这种变化的主要驱动力。印度尼西亚横流的影响仅限于夏季(南半球)和努沙登加拉河沿岸。由于风生环流的影响，夏季局部性潮汐混合的影响扩散到整个流域。

The underlying mechanism for the seasonal Sea Surface Temperature (SST) variability in the Indonesian Seas is investigated using a regional numerical model. We find the monsoonal winds, the main driving force of the variability. The impact of the Indonesian Throughflow is limited to summer (southern hemisphere) and along the Nusa Tenggara. The impact of localized tidal mixing is found to spread basin wide during summer because of the wind-driven circulation.
