| Abstract: | Studies to date indirectly indicate that only a small percentage of the sediment discharged by the Huanghe (Yellow River) is presently transported from the Gulf of Bohai to the Huanghai (Yellow Sea). Direct measurements in early summer 1985 show low concentrations of suspended sediment east of 119°45 E but high concentrations in Bohai Bay. Stokes drift associated with an amphidrome of the M2 tide may contribute to a northwestward transport of Huanghe sediment. |
