Discharge of the Changjiang (Yangtze River) into the East China Sea

TL;DR: In this article, the spatial and temporal structure of the Changjiang (Yangtze River) discharge over the inner and mid continental shelf off eastern China has been analyzed using hydrographic and current meter data collected during June 1980, August 1981, and November 1981.
Journal ArticleDOI

Annual Cycle and Variability of the North Brazil Current

TL;DR: In this paper, current meter observations from an array of three subsurface moorings located on the Brazil continental slope near 4°N are used to describe the annual cycle and low-frequency variability of the North Brazil Current (NBC).
Journal ArticleDOI

Modern Huanghe-derived muds on the outer shelf of the East China Sea: identification and potential transport mechanisms

TL;DR: In this article, Radiometric dating suggests that at least the surface of this mud deposit is contemporaneous, although the rate of accumulation may be slow, and part of the sediment may be derived from present-day erosion of the ancient Huanghe submarine delta off Jiangsu Province.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical oceanography of the Amazon shelf

TL;DR: The Amazon shelf is subject to energetic forcing from a number of different sources, including near-resonant semi-diurnal tides, large buoyancy flux from the Amazon River discharge, wind stress from the northeasterly tradewinds and strong along-shelf flow associated with the North Brazil Current.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of winter and summer hydrographic observations in the Yellow and East China Seas and adjacent Kuroshio during 1986

TL;DR: In this paper, Thompson et al. conducted two regional hydrographic surveys on the R.V. Washington to investigate the seasonal change in water properties from winter to summer in the Yellow and East China Seas (YECS) and adjacent Kuroshio.
