Influence of low salinity water from the East China Sea originated from the continental river discharge on the Japan Sea and the Sanriku coast

研究了来源于内陆河流量的东中国海低盐度水的行为。用T-S测盐仪和渔网测量表层盐度表明，低盐度水在两个月内从对马海峡输送到津沽海峡的时间约为0.3ms。对马海峡30年盐度资料与诺托半岛西北部盐度资料的对比表明，来自对马海峡东部航道的低盐度水对诺托半岛周围表层盐度的变化有一个月的时间滞后。

The behavior of low salinity water from the East China Sea originated from the continental river discharge was investigated. Salinity measurements in the surface layer with T-S meters attached with fisheries trap-nets revealed that the low salinity water is transported from the Tsushima Strait to the Tsugaru Strait at about 0.3 ms^<-1> within two months. The comparison of the 30-year long salinity data in the Tsushima Strait with that of the northwest off the Noto Peninsula revealed that the low salinity water from the eastern channel of the Tsushima Strait varies the surface salinity around the Noto Peninsula with a month time lag.
