Background
The Taiwan Strait (TS) is a marginal sea of
interest as it receives freshwater from both
Taiwan Island and mainland China and it also
connects water transports between East China Sea
(ECS), South China Sea (SCS) and Kuroshio Water
(KW). During the early summer season, northern
SCS Water influenced by Kuroshio intrusion flows
northward through the TS, mixing with local river
plumes and/or ECS Waters. We attempt to study the
geochemical characteristics of DOM and CDOM
along with hydrological properties in the TS to
understand the controls of DOM and CDOM
distributions in the TS.
