Abstract

The circulations off the Changjiang mouth in May and November were simulated by a three dimension numerical model with monthly averaged parameters of dynamic factors in this paper. The area covers the East China Sea (ECS)

Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea. Simulated results show that the circulation off the Changjiang mouth in spring and autumn is mainly the Changjiang runoff and Taiwan Warm Current (TWC). The Changjiang discharge is much larger in May than in November

and the wind is westward in May

and southward in November off the Changjiang mouth. The runoff in May branches in three parts

one eastward flows

the other two flow northward and southward along the Subei and Zhejiang coast respectively. The Changjiang diluted water expands eastward off the mouth

and forms a strong salinity front near the mouth. Surface circulation in autumn is similar to that in winter

the runoff southward flows along the coast

and the northward flowing TWC becomes weaker compared to that in spring and summer. The bottom circulations in May and November are mainly the runoff near the mouth and the TWC off the mouth

and the runoff and TWC are greater in May than in November.
