摘要

Abstract

In this paper

we characterize the North Yellow Sea (NYS) water masses in summer by analyzing temperature and salinity data surveyed in 2006. The Liaonan Coastal Water is characterized by low salinity westward and southward flow paths. The westward path flows parallel to land

turns to the south

then to the southeast adjacent to the mouth of the Lüshun River

where it mixes with other coastal water directly to the southwest. It becomes the main source of low salinity water in the deep water area west of 123°E. The high-salinity Lubei Coastal Water is the remnant of the winter Lubei Coastal Water

which is located mostly in a small area between Yantai and Weihai

and does not originate in the Bohai Sea Coastal Water. The two NYS zones demarcated at 123°E have distinctly different temperature and salinity characteristics. There are two high-salinity centers east of 123°E

whereas there is low-salinity water to the west whose temperature and salinity structures are complex

composed of the coastal water south of Chengshantou

the Liaonan Coastal Water and the Bohai Sea Water.
