Figure 2

Temperature validation between the monthly-mean climatology (Aug) simulations and observations. (a,b) Comparison of the sea surface temperature between the model results and MODIS data. The red box indicates the location of the target region. The simulated current field at the depth of 10 m is also shown in (a). (c) M2 barotropic cotidal chart with amplitude (colors) and cophase (white lines) lines. (d,e) Comparison of the along section (35°N) temperature between the model results and the observations redrawn from the Atlas of Ocean Data in the China Seas. Figures are plotted using MATLAB R2017a (http://www.mathworks.com/) with M_Map v1.4 (a mapping package, http://www.eos.ubc.ca/~rich/map.html).
