This invention relates to the field of
ocean current velocity inversion technology, specifically to a method for calculating trans-shelf water flux at a shelf break in the East
China Sea. The method includes: obtaining long-term series
observation data; establishing a regional coordinate
system: establishing a moving coordinate
system that changes with the continental slope
topography, a coordinate
system (n) across the 200-meter isobath, a coordinate system (l) along the 200-meter isobath, and a coordinate system (z) perpendicular to the sea surface; and constructing a
dynamic equation: constructing the trans-shelf water flux q, which is the trans-shelf water flux in the horizontal direction, by vertical integration along the 200-meter isobath. This method is primarily based on
satellite altimeter data and historical
field observation data, using a reasonable dynamic model to calculate the trans-shelf water flux. It avoids the need for extensive field
ocean current observation equipment and numerical
calculation methods that require significant computational resources, offering advantages such as better economy, increased safety, reliable measurement accuracy, and greater convenience.
