황해 및 동중국해 표층염분의 경년변동과 엔소와의 관련성

Abstract

This study investigates interannual variability of sea surface salinity (SSS) in the Yellow and East China Seas (YECS) using a global ocean general circulation model with regional focus on the YECS. An interannual variability of the SSS in the YECS is linked to ENSO-related precipitation over east China. When El Niño event occurs in winter, more rainfall is observed over central China in the rainy season of the following years. The heavy precipitation leads to a large amount of CRD, which results in decreasing SSS in the YECS. This suggests that summer SSS variability in the YECS is closely linked to ENSO via the summer precipitation system over east China.
