Based on in situ observations, six episodes of near-inertial internal waves (NIWs) were detected on the East China Sea (ECS) continental slope, and the mechanisms and characteristics of them were examined. The generation mechanisms of the observed NIWs included typhoon, wind burst, lateral propagation, and energy transfer from low-frequency flow. The depth-integrated near-inertial kinetic energy (NIKE) showed no significant seasonal variation, and the annual mean NIKE and near-inertial currents were 400 J/m2 and 3.50 cm/s, respectively. Downward propagation of NIKE was evident in the small wavenumber band according to the rotary vertical wavenumber spectra. The NIKE was subsurface-intensified, and the near-inertial vertical shear reached 0.01 s−1. The vertical phase speeds of the NIWs ranged from 5 to 19 m/h. The frequencies of the NIWs were mostly red-shifted, however, blue-shift also existed. One episode had both blue- and red-shifted frequencies vertically, and had both upward and downward propagating vertical phase speeds. The e-folding times of the observed NIWs ranged from 4 to 11 days, which were influenced by successive wind bursts and background vorticity. On the left-hand side of Kuroshio, the background vorticity is usually positive; however, the NIWs were almost red-shifted, which resulted from the Doppler shift of the Kuroshio.

Abstract An observational analysis of observed sudden typhoon track changes is conducted with a focus on the underlying mechanism and the possible role of slowly varying low-frequency flows. Four typhoons that took a generally northwestward track prior to sharply turning northeastward in the vicinity of the East China Sea are investigated. It is found that the sudden track changes occurred near the center of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO)-scale cyclonic circulation or at the bifurcation point of the steering flows at 700 hPa, and they were all associated with a well-developed quasi-biweekly oscillation (QBW)-scale gyre. Calculation of vorticity advection suggests that the peripheral ridging resulting from the interaction between the typhoons and the flows on the MJO and QBW scales can compress the typhoon circulation, leading to an area of high winds to the east or south of the typhoon center. The enhanced synoptic-scale winds shifted the typhoons northward and placed them in a northeastward orbit under the steering of the flows associated with the Pacific subtropical high. The sudden track change can be likened to the maneuvering of satellite orbit change in that the enhanced synoptic-scale winds act as a booster rocket to shift the typhoons northward to the southwesterly steering flows.
