摘要

Abstract

A stratification parameter $$\bar v\left( {\bar v = \frac{1}{h}\int_{ - h}^0 { \left( {\rho - \bar \rho } \right)gzdz

\bar \rho = \frac{1}{h}\int_{ - h}^0 {} \rho dz} } \right)$$

defined as the amount of mechanical energy required to bring about vertical mixing

has been calculated for the Yellow Sea using available data over the past ten years. The monthly distributions of $$Log_{10} \left| {\bar v} \right|$$ are obtained to explain the features of the Yellow Sea stratification. Fronts of the shallow shelf sea are often inseparably related with its stratifications. The front of the Yellow Sea in the warm half-year is generated in May and disappears in November. The shelf front moves shoreward and becomes strong in the heating season

but becomes weak in the cooling season upon return.
