This paper reviews recent advances in the circulation dynamics of the Kuroshio and its
interaction with shelf currents in the East China Sea (ECS). The annually averaged Kuroshio …

Elucidating the mechanisms governing microplastic transport and spatial distribution in
offshore waters is essential to microplastic control. However, current research on …

The intrusion of circumpolar deep water (CDW) onto the Antarctic continental shelf plays an
important role in the heat budgets of the Antarctic shelf sea. In the Ross Sea, the Antarctic …

Warm deep water intrusion over the Antarctic continental shelves threatens the Antarctic ice
sheet stability by enhancing the basal melting of ice shelves. In East Antarctica, the Antarctic …

Water renewal through the Bohai Strait largely dominates the water quality of the semi-
enclosed Bohai Sea (BS), which connects only to the northern Yellow Sea (NYS) through …

Simple Summary How the origin and pathways of water masses can be traced by particular
bioindicators remains an intriguing issue in biological oceanography. In the present …

Upwelling is a widespread phenomenon in the ocean and plays key roles in the marine
environment, marine fishery and air–sea carbon exchange. In coastal regions, the upwelling …

Ocean currents in the southern East China Sea (ECS) are complex and have long lacked
systematic observational data. Observations from coastal radars in northern Taiwan, along …

Abstract In winter, the Kuroshio Current intrudes onto the continental shelf in the East China
Sea with a cyclonic branch occasionally veering northeast of the Taiwan Strait. The dynamic …

This study investigates the variations in flow patterns in the northern Taiwan Strait in summer
using high-frequency (HF) radar measurements, satellite-tracked drifter trajectories and …
