The Bohai Sea

Block 1

The animation displays the FVCOM-predicted surface temperature and salinity in a stratified case with tidal and wind forcing plus heat flux.
The animation displays the FVCOM-predicted surface temperature and salinity in a stratified case with only tidal forcing.
The animation displays the FVCOM-precited surface temperature and salinity in a stratified case with tides and surface heat flux.

Block 2

The animation displays the trajectories of particles released in the Bohai Sea under a homogenous condition for the case with only tidal forcing. Red balls: particles released near the surface; Blue balls: particles released at the local middle depth.

The animation displays the trajectories of particles released in the Bohai Sea under a stratified condition for the case with tidal and wind forcings plus heat flux. Red balls: particles released near the surface; Blue balls: particles released at the local middle depth.
The animation displays the near-surface tidal currents in the Bohai Sea. It was made using Open Window DX. These graphics caused mismatches between the model surface and bathymetry around the coast.

Block 3

The animation displays the changes in salinity, nutrients, and phytoplankton in the Bohai Sea in the stratified case initialized with the hydrographic field measurement data, the model driven by tides and surface heat flux predicted a cyclonic near-coastal residual current around the Bohai Sea plus complex circulation around islands.
The animation displays the changes in salinity, nutrients, and phytoplankton in the Bohai Sea in the stratified case initialized with the hydrographic field measurement data, the model driven by tides, and wind forcing.
The animation displays the changes in salinity, nutrients, and phytoplankton  in the Bohai Sea in the stratified case initialized with the hydrographic field measurement data. The FVCOM was driven by tides, wind forcing, and surface heat flux.
