Abstract:
A fine resolution model has been applied to get more insight into the effects of a modified runoff due to the Three-Gorges-Dam (TGD) on the East China Sea (ECS). The region of interest was confined to the offshore area in the vicinity of the Changjia...
Winter heat budget in the Huanghai Sea and the effect from Huanghai Warm Current (Yellow Sea Warm Current)

2011, (5): 56-63. doi: 10.1007/s13131-011-0147-y
Abstract:
Four sources of surface heat flux (SHF) and the satellite remote sensing sea surface temperature (SST) data are combined to investigate the heat budget closure of the Huanghai Sea (HS) in winter. It is found that heat loss occurs all over the HS duri...
