We employ our multiresolution\r\nmodeling system to predict and study multiscale dynamics in the region, without\r\nthe use of any synoptic in situ data, so as to evaluate modeling capabilities when\r\nonly sparse remotely sensed sea surface height is available for assimilation. We focus\r\non the February to March 2009 period, compare our simulation results to ocean\r\nobservations, and utilize our simulations to quantify and discover oceanic features in\r\nthe region. The findings include: the physical drivers for the biogeochemical features;\r\nthe diverse circulation features in each sub-sea and their variations on multiple scales;\r\nthe flow fields within the major straits and their variability; the transports to and from\r\nthe Sulu Sea and the corresponding balances; and finally, the multiscale mechanisms\r\ninvolved in the formation of the deep Sulu Sea water.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Philippine Archipelago is remarkable because of its complex geometry, with multiple islands and passages, and its multiscale dynamics, from the large-scale open-ocean and atmospheric forcing, to the strong tides and internal waves in narrow straits and at steep shelfbreaks.
