Schematic map of winter circulation in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea. The red arrows denote the warm currents and the blue arrows denote the cold currents. Gray lines are the bathymetry with 50, 80, 200, and 1200 m labeled. The warm currents include the Yellow Sea Warm Current (YSWC), the Taiwan Warm Current (TWWC), the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC), and Kuroshio. The cold currents include the Zheming Coastal Current (ZMCC), the Yellow Sea Coastal Current (YSCC), and Korea Coastal Current (KCC). This figure is based on [26, Figure ].
