“…Topography of the ECS is extraordinarily complex (Fig. 2), where a wide continental shelf less than 200 m deep exists and the deepest area is located in Okinawa trough with depth exceeding 2,000 m. The ECS has been intensively studied with the scientific curiosity of the complex tides and currents system (Guo and Yanagi 1998;Kang et al 1998;Bao et al 2002;Ichikawa and Beardsley 2002;Niwa and Hibiya 2004).…”

Barotropic responses of the East China Sea to typhoon KOMPASU are investigated using a highresolution, three-dimensional, primitive equation, and finite volume coastal ocean model. Even the fact that the typhoon KOMPASU only brushed across the brink of China mainland without landing, it still imposed great influence across China's east coastal area, where storm surges ranging from 35 to 70 cm were intrigued during this event and a large wake of water setdown due to the outward radial transport driven by the cyclonic wind stress was generated after the KOMPASU traveled across the Yellow Sea. Analysis of the numerical results reveals that the barotropic waves propagating along the coast after the typhoon's landing can be identified as Kelvin wave and the currents associated with the storm are geostrophic currents. A series of model runs are initiated to diagnose the effects of wind stress, atmospheric pressure, and storm track variation on the surge's spatial distribution in the East China Sea. The barotropic waves affected by the atmospheric disturbance due to the typhoon in deep Pacific Ocean travel far more rapidly, arriving at the coastal regions at least 60 h ahead of the typhoon. The wave amplitudes are merely 0.2-0.4 cm and damp gradually due to friction. The model experiments also confirm that the surge levels in nearshore regions are highly dominated by winds, whereas the water level variations in deeper areas are controlled by the atmospheric pressure forcing during typhoon events in the East China Sea.

“…1, 2). The collection site, Garolim Bay on the southeastern coast of the Yellow Sea, has very strong tidal movement and a maximum tidal range of 7 m, with mixed semidiurnal M2 tides (Kantha et al 1996;Kang et al 1998).…”

“…very strong tidal movements, exhibiting a mixed semidiurnal pattern with unequal amplitudes (Kang et al 1998). The sampling area is aerially exposed during low tide for 4 to 5 h, and the mean tidal range is 5.5 m. The collected clams were transported to the laboratory and kept under continuously immersed conditions for 9 weeks in a net container with sediment positioned at the surface of a 500 liter tank.…”

Endogenous circatidal rhythm in the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum (Bivalvia: Veneridae)

Manila clams, Ruditapes philippinarum, removed from their natural environment and maintained for 9 weeks in continuously immersed conditions exhibited a clear endogenous circatidal rhythm in oxygen consumption. The clams exhibited a semidiurnal rhythmicity in oxygen consumption after showing a diurnal pattern in the ®rst few days (5 to 7 d) of the experiment. The results of the present study indicate that activity rhythms of clams are controlled not only by exogenous factors, but also by an endogenous circatidal periodicity.

“…CETAL show that the monthly mean winds in July are much weaker (around 50%) than in January. Kang et al [1998] show that the tidal current was •50% smaller near the Chinese coast in the YS than near the Korean coast. Tidal currents were not strong enough to mix the water during summer, as river discharge becomes larger.…”
