Abstract. A novel predictive model is built for eddy propagation trajectory using the multiple linear regression method. This simple model has related various oceanic parameters to eddy propagation position changes in the South China Sea (SCS). These oceanic parameters mainly represent the effects of planetary β and mean flow advection on the eddy propagation. The performance of the proposed model is examined in the SCS based on twenty years of satellite altimeter data, and demonstrates its significant forecast skills over a 4-week forecast window comparing to the traditional persistence method. It is also found that the model forecast accuracy is sensitive to eddy polarity and forecast season.

Sea Level Variations

AbstractGrain-size analyses, coupled with end-member modelling, have been performed on the terrigenous fraction of two Leg 184 Ocean Drilling Program sites (1144 and 1146) from the South China Sea. The grain-size distributions over the last 1.8 Ma enable a new interpretation of their connections to sea-level variations and East Asian monsoon strength. Previous investigations in this area have associated grain-size variability with enhanced eolian input during glacial stages. End-member modelling downgrades the importance of this eolian contribution and indicates that the sediments can be described as a mixture of three end-members: fluvial mud inputs, shelf reworking and river mouth migration. Grain-size variations in the Pleistocene section of the cores indicate a multiple-stage evolution: (i) from 1.8 to 1.25 Ma, the downcore grain-size variations are low but show a correspondence between monsoon rainfall intensity and the fine grain-sized fluvial inputs; no link with sea-level variations is noticeable; (ii) from 1.25 to 0.9 Ma, there is an increase (decrease) in the intermediate (fine) end-member (∼ 100 kyr cycle) that is associated with the onset of a stronger summer monsoon and modest shelf reworking; (iii) from 0.9 to 0 Ma the grain-size record is dominated by global sea-level variations; each glacial stage is associated with extensive shelf reworking and conveyance of coarse particles to the basin.
