Abstract:
      Based on the CTD data obtained in the southern Taiwan Strait and its adjacent areas in August and September of 1994, the distributional features of the temperature and salinity in the studied area have been analyzed in detail.The results are as follows:(1) There are two low temperature and high salinity regions in the nearshore area between Dongshan and Shantou and in the southeastern Taiwan respectively, which may be caused by upwellings.(2) There exists a cold eddy in the northwestern sea area and a warm eddy with two high temperature cores in the eastern sea area of the Islands, which are related to the anti-cyclonic turning of the seawater near the Dongsha Islands.(3) A westward high temperature and high salinity water tongue extends through the northern Luzon Strait and reaches the sea areas near the Dongsha Islands and southern Taiwan Strait.
