Abstract

By using the LTD data obtained from the first cruise in the early spring of 1996 of "China-Korea Oecrm Circulation Dynamics and Material Transportation Joint Study on the Southern Huanghai Sea",the horizontal and vertical distributions of temperature,salinity and density are depicted,the analyses of water masses are made,and the formation mechanism of intermediate cold water (ICW) phenomenon which occurred in the sea area west of the Southern Huanghai Sea (34°～36°N,121°45'～124°E) is revealed as well.The resuhs also show that the Huanghai Sea Warn Current (YWW) in the surface regressed towards the Chejudo,and the Huanghai Sea Bottom Cold Water Mass (YC) began to form only in the sea area off the Qingdao.
