Some Striking Features of Circulation in Huanghai Sea and East China Sea

  • Chapter

Abstract

The coastal upwelling off Zhejiang Province, eddies southwest of Cheju Is. and northeast of Taiwan, Changjiang (Yangtze River) plume, and the circulation related to the Huanghai Sea Cold Water Mass are four of the most significant features in the Huanghai (Yellow) Sea and the East China Sea and will be discussed in this paper.
