摘要

Abstract

In summer of 2001

2002 and 2003

ten

six and seventeen satellite-tracked surface drifters with drogues centered at 15 and 4 m were deployed

respectively

in the southern Yellow Sea (YS). 23 drifters of them transmitted useful data of at least 30 days. The wind-driven component of the drift was removed from the original drift velocity of drifters. The wind data used are from NCEP (National Center for Environmental Prediction)

USA. Trajectories and drift velocities of the 23 drifters depicted the upper circulation structure in the southern YS. There exists an anti-cyclonic eddy with a mean speed and radius of 0.063 m/s and 50km in the central southern YS

whose center lingered within 35.3–36.0°N/123.5–124.0°E. Showed by 6 drifters

a basin-scale elliptic cyclonic gyre with a mean speed of 0.114 m/s

long and short radius of 250 and 200 km surrounds the anti-cyclonic eddy. In the southwestern part of the southern YS has obvious frontal eddy activities within about 100 km with a mean speed about 0.076 m/s. All the drifters passing Korean coast were staggering for more than 10 days west of a protruding cape of central Korea. A small-scale cyclonic eddy centered at around 120.5°E/35.1°N with a mean speed of 0.048 m/s was observed in western part of the southern YS.
