Route for Upwelled Kuroshio Waters into East China Sea Shelf

by L. Zhou 18 February 201911 January 2022

A simple algorithm obtains short-term variations in upwelling, which show that the subsurface Kuroshio waters can upwell directly into the East China Sea shelf under the advection of the Kuroshio.
