A numerical prediction model of strong thermocline in the Bohai and the Huanghai Seas

In this paper, the predecessors'research results of the numerical prediction models of vertical sea temperature structure calculation are reviewed and assessed, whereby a three-dimensional numerical prediction model of a strong thermocline is established by taking into account the absorbed and transmissive radiation at the sea surface, topography, wind stress, current speed, bottom friction and the mixing functions caused by them. As the driving elements of the model are only wind and air-temperature fields, the model has a fairly good practicality, and the results of trial prediction are satisfatory.
