Scatterplots of FDOM concentrations versus salinities in the continental shelf waters during the summer of 2012 and winter of 2017. Correlation coefficients between FDOMH and salinity were evaluated from the data for the surface FDOM during August 2012, except for the post-typhoon period, and for the winter of 2017 and from the deep FDOM of the Yellow Sea during August 2012.
