英文摘要 | The cross-shelf circulation and its transport in the Yellow and East China Seas (YECSs) are very important to global ocean material exchanges and regional environment. A field survey including a long-term mooring, 89 sample stations, 25 drifters, etc., was conducted in the YECSs in the winter of 2015 to investigate the cross-shelf transport of the sediment plume over the Changjiang Bank. The observation shows that the northern East China Sea (ECS) current carries low temperature, low salinity, and high turbidity coastal waters southeastward from the radial tidal sand ridge off the Jiangsu coast to the outer shelf south of Cheju Island. The northern ECS current with an average speed of 4.7 cm/s and in the average direction of 100 degrees from due north is not only measured directly by the 21-day mooring, but also recorded in trajectories of 6 satellite-tracked surface drifters. The mean current of the northern ECS current flows roughly along the 30-50 m isobaths with a small cross-isobath component. The mooring data indicate that the sediment flux is dominated by the mean advection of mean sediment concentration, resulting in an average suspended sediment flux of 52.23 g s(-1) m(-1) in the direction of 105 degrees. According to the suspended sediment flux decomposition, the flux due to tidal currents is calculated to be one order of magnitude smaller than the advection by subtidal currents, implying that the sediment plume is unlikely generated by the tidal pumping, but is likely maintained by the advection. The amount of the suspended sediments carried by the northern ECS current is estimated to reach 40.62 million tons assuming an average width of 100 km of the turbid plume during December through February. The transport by the northern ECS current is suggested to provide sufficient amount of sediments for the Southwestern Cheju Island Mud to grow in time. |
