Abstract:
The variation and distribution of temperature, salinity, and density in the East China Sea are influenced by the monsoonal rains, continental runoff, waters of the Kuroshio, and bottom topography. During the winter monsoon, mixing produces a homogeneous vertical water structure over the Continental Shelf and a deep mixed layer in the basin portion of the sea. Conversely, during the summer monsoon, a warmer, less saline surface layer develops as a result of increased solar radiation, continental runoff, and precipitation. Author
