Abstract

Based on the temperature data along 34°N

35°N and 36°N sections in August from 1977 to 2003

the structure and formation of the Southern Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass (SYSCWM) and its responses to El Niño events are analyzed. Results show that: (1) There exist double cold cores under the main thermocline along the 35°N and 36°N sections. Also

double warm cores exist above the main thermocline along the 36°N section. (2) Thermocline dome by upwelling separates the upper warm water into two parts

the eastern and western warm waters. Additionally

the circulation structure caused by upwelling along the cold front and northeastward current along the coast in summer is the main resons of double warm cores along the 36°N section. The intermediate cold water is formed in early spring and moves eastward slowly

which results in the formation of the western one of double cold cores. (3) Position of the thermocline dome and its intensity vary interannually

which is related to El Niño events. However

the deep cold water temperature is hardly affected by El Niño events. In most El Niño years

position of the thermocline dome shifted eastwards and depth of the dome upper limit decreases.
