Abstract

Through the analysis of historical data show that climate change and precipitation is the basic reason of Northern Gulf water properties. Analysis of temperature and salinity in the East and west of the Straits of the Joan Strait shows that the northern Bay maintains the characteristics of temperature salt in the eastern part of the Strait. Northern Gulf circulation in summer and winter similar, of the cyclonic circulation; Joan Strait to the east of the sea throughout the year through the Joan Strait West to the inflow of Northern Gulf, and not as previously studied the winter westward flow, summer is eastward flow. In addition to the wind currents, there is a considerable component of the ocean currents in the northern Gulf. In addition, in the eastern part of the South China Sea, the South China Sea water enters the Northern Gulf. Cyclonic circulation is the basic motive for the formation of summer water. Northern Gulf modified water masses will lead to adjustments and changes of the circulation, resulting in a certain risk on fishery and maritime activities, the last to make a preliminary analysis of the impact.
