Abstract

To study the seasonality and causes of the Yellow Sea Warm Current (YSWC) in detail

rotated empirical orthogonal function (REOF) and extended associate pattern analysis are adopted with daily sea surface salinity (SSS)

sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface height (SSH) datasets covering 1126 days from American Navy Experimental Real-Time East Asian Seas Ocean Nowcast System in the present paper. Results show that in the Yellow and East China Seas

the YSWC is a mean barotropic flow as compensation of winter-monsoon-driven surface currents

which has been directly observed. When East Asia winter monsoon weakens

so do the meridional pressure gradient of the surface seawater and the YSWC

while the transversal pressure gradient changes rather slowly that results in the YSWC left turning. In addition

there is southward mean flow compensation of summer-monsoon-driven surface currents

which actually was also directly observed.
