Influenced by the seasonally reversed monsoons, water exchange through straits, and
topography, the shelf and slope circulation in the northern South China Sea (NSCS) is …

Abstract The South China Sea is receiving a considerable plastic discharge and is a hot
place for microplastics (MPs). Characterized by seasonal basin-scale circulation and strong …

Abstract By analyzing 22 years (1993–2015) of daily eddy data, statistics of surface eddy
properties were refreshed in the South China Sea. More than 7,000 of historical Argo …

Microplastics (MPs) contamination has been recognized as one of major threats to coastal
marine environments. Although studies evidenced severe MPs contaminations to the Pacific …

Coastal oceans, traditionally seen as a conduit for transporting atmospheric carbon dioxide
(CO2)–derived anthropogenic carbon (CANT) to open oceans, exhibit complex carbon …

Satellite altimetry sea surface height (SSH) measurements from 1993 to 2017 are used to
investigate the seasonal variability of mode‐1 M2 internal tides from the Luzon Strait. The 25 …

Abstract The East Asian marginal seas gain heat from the warm pool via intrusion of the
Kuroshio Current and play an important role in regulating regional climate. Here, we show …

Surface currents play an essential role in the worldwide distribution of microplastics in the
coastal seas and open oceans. As a branch of the western boundary currents (WBCs) …

The terrigenous sediment source-to-sink processes in continental margins are determined
by complex interactions among climate, sediment discharge, sea level and oceanic …

The Kuroshio current transports large amounts of heat and water vapor into the South China
Sea (SCS) through the Luzon Strait and plays a key role in modulating the surrounding …
