Abstract

Abstract

The Kuroshio subsurface water intrusion onto the East China Sea continental shelf is a year-round phenomenon to the northeast of Taiwan. However, the seasonal variation of the Kuroshio subsurface water intrusion still remains unclear. In this paper, the seasonal variation of Kuroshio intrusion onto the East China Sea continental shelf is investigated based on the CTD (conductivity temperature depth) data obtained from the four seasonal cruises of the East China Sea from 2009 to 2011. It is found that: the intrusion strengthens in late spring, strongest in summer, weakens in fall and becomes the weakest in winter. The depth of origin of the intruded Kuroshio subsurface water also varies with season. In addition, there exists significant short-term variability of the subsurface intrusion.
