Estimating the summer residual flow based on sea surface temperature within a narrow strait by Juncheng Xie, Peng Bai, Xiaowei Xu, Lingling Xie, Mingming Li, Ying Gao

“…Capitalizing on its distinctive summer SST pattern (eastern cooling vs. western warming) and prevailing westward residual current regime, we demonstrated that the thermal structure can be effectively characterized by a 1D balance equation incorporating temporal variation, horizontal advection, diffusion, and thermal forcing terms. Applying this framework to MODIS SST data (2003–2022), we reliably estimated summer residual flow velocities and fluxes over two decades. …”
