Abstract:
The Changjiang River diluted water (CDW) spreads into the East China Sea (ECS) primarily in a plume pattern, although in some years, low-salinity water lenses (LSWLs) detach from the main body of the CDW. In-situ observations indicate that in August ...
An assessment of Arctic cloud water paths in atmospheric reanalyses
Mingyi Gu, Zhaomin Wang, Jianfen Wei, Xiaoyong Yu

2021, 40(3): 70-83. doi: 10.1007/s13131-021-1711-8
Abstract:
The Kyushu-Palau Ridge (KPR), a remnant arc on the Philippine Sea Plate (PSP), is subducting beneath the Kyushu, southwest Japan. Influenced by the subducting KPR, the Kyushu subduction zone corresponding to the KPR is significantly different from Sh...
A buried submarine canyon in the northwest South China Sea: architecture, development processes and implications for hydrocarbon exploration
Bin Wang, Fuliang Lyu, Shuang Li, Jian Li, Zhili Yang, Li Li, Xuefeng Wang, Yintao Lu, Taotao Yang, Jingwu Wu, Guozhong Sun, Hongxia Ma, Xiaoyong Xu
2021, 40(3): 84-93. doi: 10.1007/s13131-021-1700-y
Abstract:
High-resolution multichannel seismic data enables the discovery of a previous, undocumented submarine canyon (Huaguang Canyon) in the Qiongdongnan Basin, northwest South China Sea. The Huaguang Canyon with a NW orientation is 140 km in length, and 2....
Facies character and geochemical signature in the late Quaternary meteoric diagenetic carbonate succession at the Xisha Islands, South China Sea
