摘要

Abstract

Based on the data from a special project titled China's Offshore Marine Integrated Investigation and Evaluation as well as Regional Ocean Modeling Systems (ROMS) diagnostic numerical model

we studied the influence of high wind processes on the circulation and water exchange between the Bohai and Yellow Seas (BYS) in winter. The results show that the vertical structure of the Yellow Sea Warm Current (YSWC) is relatively uniform under condition of high winds

showing obvious barotropic features. However

this flow is not a stable mean flow

showing strong paroxysmal and reciprocating characteristics. A comparison of the changes in sea level suggests that the intensity of the northwards upwind flow is consistent with the abnormal fluctuations in the sea level. It indicates that the upwind flow is closely related to the water exchange between the BYS. The impact of high wind processes on the water exchange between the BYS is enormous. It can make the flux through the Bohai Strait

as well as that through the mouth of each constituent bay (i.e.

Liaodong Bay

Bohai Bay

and Laizhou Bay) far greater than usual

resulting in a significant increase in the water exchange rate. The exchange capacity

which is about 8% of the total volume of the Bohai Sea

can be completed in a few days. Therefore

the water exchange of the Bohai Sea may be completed by only a few occasional high wind processes in winter.
