Geomorphology, shallow structure, and geological hazards in the East China Sea

The structure of the Kuroshio west of Kyushu

“…In winter, some southward-flowing coastal water along the coast of Jiangsu Province continues southward along the coast of Zhejiang Province, and some Jiangsu coastal water (the Jiangsu Coastal Current or JCC) flows offshore in a downwind, southeastward direction from a point just north of the mouth of the Changjiang. Between the nearshore southward-flowing and the offshore southeastward-flowing coastal waters, a northwestward inflow of the relatively saline TWC is found in the submerged river valley located just onshore of the Changjiang mouth ( the relic river valley is defined primarily by the 40 m and ·50 m isobaths; Butenko et al, 1985). This inflow is the source of the near bottom saline water found in the outer Changjiang estuary and is a dominant circulation feature of the East China Sea in both winter and summer.…”

Geotechnical properties of sediment cores from the southeastern yellow sea: Effects of depositional processes

“…Muddy surface sediments also occur south of Jeju Island associated with the Huanghe dispersal system where the maximum accumulation rate is about 0.3 cm/y (DeMaster et al, 1985;Milliman et al, 1985). These sediments are silty clay (about 50% clay), 118% in average water content, and 1 kPa in average shear strength (Butenko et al, 1985), comparable to the clay-rich sediments in the central depression.…”
