CHARACTERISTICS OF TIDE LEVEL AFFECTED BY KUROSHIO

S. Terachi, S. Ogata
Abstract:
With the aim of better understandings on the tide level, which repeats a cyclic motion under the influence of a strong current “Kuroshio”, we observed it over a few years. We then analyzed its time series data on a time-frequency basis by wavelet and short time Fourier transform techniques using a Gabor function. The time-frequency representation revealed a remarkable effect of the winding of the current. With the beginning of the winding, a phase gap between 12 hrs and 24 hrs periodic modes resulted in markedly, and the reappearance period of these modes decreased from about 400 hrs to 300 hrs.
