| Abstract: |
| The causes of summertime distribution and character of temperature in the Yellow Sea were studied, using a three-dimensional thermal and circulation numerical model. The temperature variation of seawater in summer due to the mixing effect of M2 tidal current in the Yellow Sea was simulated and compared with the temperature variation due to the mixing by summer average wind stress. The continental ocean fronts in the Yellow Sea, such as the fronts outside the Subei shallows, in the southeastern part of the Shandong Peninsula in the waters nearby Dalian and Mokpo as well as the surface cold water between the front and coast, were studied. The simulating results tallied with the surface temperature distribution observed by satellite remote sensing and reproduced the tide-induced character of continental fronts in the Yellow Sea.
The three-dimensional thermal and circulation model in the present paper was used for numerical simulation of tidal current in the Yellow Sea focused on the process of periodic tidal mixing of temperature due to the boundary force of M2 tide. The simulating results revealed not only the character of temperature distribution and variation in the tide-induced continental front areas of the Yellow Sea, but also the distribution of vertical tidal residual current for comparison with the distribution of temperature.
For embodying the effect of tidal mixing on water temperature variation, the simulation study did not consider the thermal exchange process at the sea surface and the salinity variation in the model. In summer, the solar radiation and sea surface thermal exchange processes are very strong, so the numerical results here were used to study in detail the mechanism of tidal mixing to ocean thermal structure. |
