Associated with strong mixing and stirring, as well as enhanced bioproductivity and
ecotones, oceanic fronts have garnered worldwide attention in recent years. Research into …

During the 1990s, our knowledge and understanding of the current system in the Yellow and
East China Seas have grown significantly due primarily to new technologies for measuring …

In this exciting and innovative textbook, two leading oceanographers bring together the
fundamental physics and biology of the coastal ocean in a quantitative but accessible way …

Ocean color and sea surface temperature data from Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard the Terra satellite are used to study the cross-shelf …

We investigated seasonal circulation patterns of the Yellow and East China Seas (YECS), by
reviewing previous works on the circulation and its dominant currents, and taking into …

The Kuroshio Onshore Intrusion along the Shelf Break of the East China Sea: The Origin of the
Tsushima Warm Current in: Journal of Physical Oceanography Volume 36 Issue 12 (2006) …

A review is made of circulation and currents in the southwestern East/Japan Sea (the
Ulleung Basin), and the Korea/Tsushima Strait which is a unique conduit for surface inflow …

Recent advances in ocean-circulation research on the Yellow Sea and East China Sea
shelves are summarized. Observations using acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) …

Cross-shelf exchange dominates the pathways and rates by which nutrients, biota, and
materials on the continental shelf are delivered and removed. This follows because cross …

A general ocean circulation model is used to study the dynamics of the cross-shelf
circulation in the Yellow and East China Seas in winter. The model results show that the …
