Intrusion pattern of the Kuroshio Subsurface Water onto the East China Sea continental shelf traced by dissolved inorganic iodine species during the spring and autumn of 2014

The Kuroshio has an important influence on the circulation systems and ecological environment of the East China Sea (ECS), but the intrusion pattern of the Kuroshio on the ECS continental shelf and its seasonal variability are still debated. Our study shows that evidence from both hydrographic data...

Description
Summary:The Kuroshio has an important influence on the circulation systems and ecological environment of the East China Sea (ECS), but the intrusion pattern of the Kuroshio on the ECS continental shelf and its seasonal variability are still debated. Our study shows that evidence from both hydrographic data and dissolved inorganic iodine species (DIIS) suggest that a cold (34.4PSU), dense (>24.5kg/m3), R-iodate-rich (>0.35μM) and R-iodide-poor (
