Abstract

Abstract

Diatom analysis of samples from sediment traps deployed in the northern and central South China Sea reveals the seasonal changes of diatom fluxes and their relationships with the East Asia monsoon system. It is shown that the diatom flux can be treated as an indicator of marine primary productivity in the northern and central South China Sea. Especial low diatom fluxes are found in the northern South China Sea, which might be related to the El ni o event during 1987-1988. In the northern South China Sea, apparent increased diatom fluxes are found during the winter monsoon period, which is correlated with stronger sea water vertical mixing and higher aeolian particles input during this period. Relatively high fluxes are also found in the deep water than in the shallow water, indicating possible deep sea lateral advection in the northern South China Sea. Higher diatom fluxes during the summer monsoon period with peak flux in late June to early July are revealed in the central South China Sea, which may be stimulated by higher nutrient input during the summer monsoon.
