摘要

Abstract

Based on survey data from April to May 2009

distribution and its influential factors of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) over the continental slopes of the Yellow Sea (YS) and East China Sea (ECS) are discussed. Influenced by the Changjiang (Yangtze) River water

alongshore currents

and the Kuroshio current off the coast

DIN concentrations were higher in the Changjiang River estuary

but lower (<1 μmol/L) in the northern and eastern YS and outer continental shelf area of the ECS. In the YS

the thermocline formed in spring

and a cold-water mass with higher DIN concentration (about 11 μmol/L) formed in benthonic water around 123.2°E. In Changjiang estuary (around 123°E

32°N)

DIN concentration was higher in the 10 m layer; however

the bottom DIN concentration was lower

possibly influenced by mixing of the Taiwan Warm Current and offshore currents.
