“…The YSWC, as the only external heat source in the eastern China Sea, contributes to the variation in heat content in the SYS. The heat transported by the YSWC in winter is five times smaller than that of the net surface heat loss integrated over the Yellow Sea (Wei et al, 2013). The winter SST is inversely and weakly correlated with the EAWM indices and short-wave radiation, respectively (Supplementary Fig.…”

The variability of the East Asian monsoon (EAM) during the Holocene exhibits significant regional response, and its evolution needs further discussion. A well-dated, high-resolution sea-surface temperature record based on long-chain unsaturated alkenones, grain-size data, and clay mineral assemblages from the South Yellow Sea sediment is presented to investigate the sedimentary provenance and reconstruct the EAM over the past 9.5 ka. The results show that the sediments are most likely supplied by the Huanghe. The evolution of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) can be divided into three periods: strong and relatively stable conditions during 9.5–7.0 ka, weakened conditions during 7.0–1.5 ka, and strengthened conditions during 1.5–0 ka. The East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) has experienced five periods: weakened conditions during 9.5–6.7 ka, weak and relatively stable conditions during 6.7–5.6 ka, strong and relatively stable conditions during 5.6–2.6 ka, strengthened conditions during 2.6–1.5 ka, and weak and stable conditions during 1.5–0 ka. Moreover, in-phase correlation was found between the EAWM and EASM at the orbital time scale in response to orbital-driven solar insolation, but out-of-phase correlation at a centennial time scale is predominantly associated with solar activity.

“…By adopting OTPS(OSU tidal prediction software), model open boundary drives based on the real time water level of eight primary tidal predication, which is M2, S2, N2, K2, K1, O1, P1 and Q1. The temperature and salinity data in open boundary adopt the data of NEMO2.3 (nucleus of European modeling of the ocean) [10] . Initial conditions of temperature and salinity adopt data of WOA09 (world ocean atlas 2009).…”

In this paper, salinity field is numerically simulated by using unstructured grid FVCOM (finite volume coastal ocean model) to analyze the seasonal characteristics of salinity in Bohai Sea and the influence of Yellow River runoff and precipitation on salinity is also studied through sensitivity experiment. The results show that the vertical distribution of salinity in Bohai Sea is homogeneous and seasonal characteristics of salinity are that it increases in winter and gradually decreases from autumn to summer, but increases again in autumn and gradually restores to the winter level. The Yellow River runoff and precipitation can find their influence mainly in summer and autumn. The influence of Yellow River runoff concentrates in the area nearby Laizhou Bay, which results in change rate of salinity up to 20%, while the influence of precipitation sweeps through almost the entire Bohai Sea, which makes the change rate of salinity reach its maximum for the whole year in summer, that is 9% for Bohai Gulf, 7% for Liaodong Gulf and 6% for Laizhou Bay.

“…With the seasonal change of the thermocline, the YSCWM forms in the spring (approximately in May), matures in the summer (approximately in August), recedes in the autumn, and completely disappears in winter (Guan, 1963;Chu et al, 1997;Yu et al, 2006;Zhang et al, 2008;Bao et al, 2009;Yao et al, 2012). During the cooler season (from September to February), changes in the heat content of the YS are caused by variations in latent and sensible heat fl uxes at the surface, which are related to the East Asian Winter Monsoon and the Arctic Oscillation (Wei et al, 2013). In the early 1950s, He et al (1959) fi rst studied the formation mechanism and characteristics of the YSCWM concluding that the YSCWM forms in the local area of the YS in winter.…”

“…Furthermore, winter process plays an important role in the interannual variability of the YSCWM. Wei et al (2013) found that the heat content of the deep region of the YS is mainly infl uenced by lateral heat transport controlled by the Yellow Sea Warm Current (YSWC), which also has a 4-7-year period of interannual variability .…”

This paper discusses the interannual variability of the Northern Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass (NYSCWM) and the factors that infl uence it, based on survey data from the 1976-2006 national standard section and the Korea Oceanographic Data Center, monthly E-P fl ux data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, and meridional wind speed data from the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set. The results show that: 1) the mean salinity of the NYSCWM center has a slightly decreasing trend, which is not consistent with the high salinity center; 2) both the southern salinity front and the halocline of the NYSCWM display a weakening trend, which indicates that the difference between the NYSCWM and coastal water decreases; 3) the Yellow Sea Warm Current intrusion, the E-P fl ux of the northern Yellow Sea, and the strength of the winter monsoon will affect the NYSCWM salinity during the following summer.
