Research Abstract

The present study developed a new observation method of turbulence and carried out the observation in the East China Sea, and concurrently those observational results were simulated and analyzed by using the parallel large eddy simulation model (LES). The energy dissipation rates were obtained from the turbulence microstructure profiler and tidal currents were from 5 beam acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) in 2011. Furthermore, the Reynolds stresses were observed using the improved ADCP with high frequency beam in 2013, and the semi-diurnal change of Reynolds stress owing to the tidally oscillated flow was found. LES simulation succeeded to reproduce the main properties of tidal flows and the turbulence from the initial condition and the external forcing estimated from the observational data in 2011.
