“…This is particularly true for the vertical velocity (Figure 12b), which is not only weaker than its counterpart at A (off Subei Bank) but also tends to be homogenized over the spring-neap cycle and vertical diffusivity (Figure 12c), which implies that the here tidal mixing is strong during the spring phases, and hence the water column tends to be more homogeneously distributed in the vertical direction. It has been reported that tidal mixing plays the dominant role in inducing the Shandong Front [8,11]. Our results are in agreement with this.…”

“…From the semidiurnal tides (M2 and S2), we particularly see two amphidromic points in the Yellow Sea (located off Chengshanjiao and Haizhou Bay). These, among other features, agree well with satellite observations and previous model results such as Fang et al [19], Lu et al [8], Ren et al [11], to name a few. Our model simulation is hence validated.…”

“…Previously, Ren et al [11] suggested that tidal mixing is the key to the formation of the Shandong Front, while off Subei Bank, the Subei Front results from collaboration of both tidal induced upwelling and tidal mixing. The different generating mechanisms may be reflected in the temperature distribution, and hence we see different temperature variations over the spring-neap cycle at the two stations A and B.…”

“…(where H and U are, respectively, the water depth and the amplitude of the tidal velocity), which describes, for the summer shelf seas, the influence of surface buoyancy input and tidal mixing in controlling the water column structure. By the SH distribution, there are three conspicuous fronts in the Yellow Sea; they are, in a clockwise order, Subei Bank Front (SBF), Shandong Peninsula Front (SPF), and Mokpo Front (MKF) [11]. Correspondingly, three most conspicuous SCPs are identified.…”

An important hydrographic phenomenon in the Yellow Sea is the surface cold patches (SCP) in warm seasons, among which the most conspicuous are the Shandong SCP, Subei SCP, and Mokpo SCP. Previous studies based on monthly mean fields propose that these patches result from the collaboration of tidal mixing and tidal induced upwelling. While this is true for patches like the Shandong SCP, the monthly mean tidal mixing and upwelling alone cannot explain all their formations. In this study, through a detailed analysis of their patterns over a spring-neap tidal cycle, it is found that the Subei and Mokpo SCPs show distinct spring-neap variations. During the neap tide phase, strong stratification is established, and hence the cold patches in these two areas may be greatly weakened or even suppressed, while during the spring tide phase, the surface temperature reaches its minimum. That is to say, for these two SCPs, besides the well-accepted mechanisms, the effect of spring-neap tidal variation must be taken into account.

“…Overall, the RMSE tends to be relatively large at coastal buoys in the YS and southern regions than in the EJS. Large temperature differences of this type, amounting to 2 K, have been mentioned as induced by strong tidal currents and mixing over shallow bathymetry (<30 m) in the YS [25,57,58]. The western and southern coastal regions contained a positive bias of the differences (B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6), which are in contrast to the negative biases at the buoys (B8 and B9) over deep water (>1500 m) in the EJS.…”

Validation of daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (OISST) data from 1982 to 2018 was performed by comparison with quality-controlled in situ water temperature data from Korea Meteorological Administration moored buoys and Korea Oceanographic Data Center observations in the coastal regions around the Korean Peninsula. In contrast to the relatively high accuracy of the SSTs in the open ocean, the SSTs of the coastal regions exhibited large root-mean-square errors (RMSE) ranging from 0.75 K to 1.99 K and a bias ranging from −0.51 K to 1.27 K, which tended to be amplified towards the coastal lines. The coastal SSTs in the Yellow Sea presented much higher RMSE and bias due to the appearance of cold water on the surface induced by vigorous tidal mixing over shallow bathymetry. The long-term trends of OISSTs were also compared with those of in situ water temperatures over decades. Although the trends of OISSTs deviated from those of in situ temperatures in coastal regions, the spatial patterns of the OISST trends revealed a similar structure to those of in situ temperature trends. The trends of SSTs using satellite data explained about 99% of the trends in in situ temperatures in offshore regions (>25 km from the shoreline). This study discusses the limitations and potential of global SSTs as well as long-term SST trends, especially in Korean coastal regions, considering diverse applications of satellite SSTs and increasing vulnerability to climate change.
