| Abstract: |
Samples of O isotopic tracer were mlleMed at Sections P3, P25, PcM-t/2-E and PCM-1/2.w in both the Fast China Sea and the area to the east of the Ryūkyū-guntō during October-November, 1991.
Analytical results of the δ18O are as follows: (1) In the Kuroshio area, the δ18O isolines are almost parallel to the 200 m isobath.The value of δ18O is negative and reaches minimum mt the main axis of the Kuroshio, and increases on both sides. (2) In the Taiwan Warm Current (TWC) area there is a high δ18O tongue extending to the northeast. (3) In the area near the coast, the distribution of δ18O isoline shows that the Changjiang River runoff diffuses seaward and the land-ocean isotopic effect from the nearshore to the offshore. (4) The values of δ18O are from -1.0×10-3 to -0.5×10-3 in the shelf. (5) There is a low mre of δ18O value (<-1.6×10-3) at the 600 m layer in the Kuroshio area, which is quite in accord with the existence of a low salinity mre (S G 34.30) between the 600 and 800 m layers in the same area.Finally, the mrrelations of the δ18O with the salinity and temperature, the upwelling and so on are discussed. |
