Wave characteristics analysis in Bohai Sea based on ECMWF wind field

Storm-induced hydrodynamic changes and seabed erosion in the littoral area of Yellow River Delta: A model-guided mechanism study

“…M2, S2, N2, K2, K1, O1, P1 and Q1, as well as surface forcing from the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) wind and atmospheric pressure data with a spatial resolution of 0.25°×0.25° (latitude× longitude). Compared with the storm scale in the Bohai Sea, this resolution is sufficient for modeling land-ocean gradients (Lv et al, 2014).…”

Temporal and spatial variations and impact factors of nutrients in Bohai Bay, China

“…Since it is exposed to the eastern Asia monsoon, BHB is hot and rainy in summer, and cold and dry in winter. A southeast wind prevails in summer, while a northwest wind dominates in winter (Lv et al, 2014). As much as 79.3% of the annual precipitation falls in the wet period from June to September (Wei et al, 2016).…”

“…As much as 79.3% of the annual precipitation falls in the wet period from June to September (Wei et al, 2016). The prevailing wave directions are ENE and SSW, which account for 11.1% and 8.0% of the annual wave directions, respectively (Lv et al, 2014). The tidal current in BHB ranges from 20 to 80 cm/s, with the strongest tidal current occurring near Caofeidian (Bian et al, 2016).…”

Quantitative Assessment on Multiple Timescale Features and Dynamics of Sea Surface Suspended Sediment Concentration Using Remote Sensing Data

“…The wind waves in the Bohai Sea are dominated by the Asian monsoon, with strong wind speed of 5–7 m/s in winter and weak wind speed of 4–5 m/s in summer (Sun, ). Correspondingly, wind waves with significant wave height range between 0.5∼1.2 m in winter and 0.05∼0.65 m in summer (Lv et al, ). Strong wind waves induce strong bottom shear stresses, which readily erode seabed sediment into water and enhance the vertical mixing of the water column, leading to upward sediment transport.…”
