The coastal tortuosity and the inhomogeneity of the spatial-temporal distribution of the hydrographic data in the Bohai Sea and its adjacent area are considered and LOESS for the 4-dimensional objective analysis is employed to obtain the monthly climatological salinity fields.It is shown in the analysis results that the coastal water movement and extension in the southern Bohai Sea are significantly effected by monsoon.The coastal water is cumulated in the Bohai Bay and the Laizhou Bay,thus forming a low-salinity water tongue extending eastward along the coast at Longkou of Shandong Penisula and further toward the east of Penglai in winter.The low-salinity water turns to drift and cumulate toward the central Bohai Sea,especially in the water area adjacent to the Yellow River Estuary where its core of low salinity is as thick as 8 m,and as far as 119°30′E in summer.At the same time,the coastal water in the Laizhou becomes westward shrunk.The water exchange in winter is significantly characterized by a pattern of "the inflow in the south and outflow in the north of the Bohai Strait".The water exchange in summer does not have significant features of stable flow pattern.
