Abstract
The Bohai Sea is a typical shallow sea. The modeling of the time mean circulation in the Bohai Sea and a more thorough understanding of its dynamics are of interest. The problem of winter circulation in the Bohai Sea is referable to the physics of sea-ice and will be not discussed in this chapter. Preliminary researches suggested that the summer circulation pattern in the Bohai Sea can be grossly characterized by a big counterclockwise gyre (Guan et al, 1977). And then the big counterclockwise gyre in the summer circulation pattern was numerically simulated based on a depth-averaged wind-driven and thermohaline circulation model (Zhang et al., 1984). However, such a simple pattern of the summer circulation cannot be used to explain, directiy or indirectiy, some field data and long-term transport processes in the Bohai Sea. Recently the tide-induced Lagrangian residual current field in the Bohai Sea has been obtained by a numerical model for a typical summer condition of flow through the Bohai Strait (Zheng, 1992). The contribution of this numerical simulation was an inspiration that the tide-induced residual circution should be an important component of the mean circulation in the Bohai Sea (Feng, 1990).
