The distributions of surface (a) temperature (°C), (b) salinity, and c) δ18O in March 20–25, 2000. (d) The correlation between δ18O and salinity in the TS (circles), the Yangtze River (blue triangles), Luzon Strait (red crosses), and the southern ECS (red inverted triangles). (e) The potential temperature-salinity diagram during March 20–25, 2000; the map shows the sampling locations with corresponding symbols. The grey full circles depict the grey points on the map. The grey lines are isopycnals. The CTD data were adopted from ocean data bank (www.odb.ntu.tw). The δ18O were collected from Chen and Sheu26, Lian et al.,25, and Lin27.
