Fig. 1: Sea surface salinity (SSS) and temperature (SST) responses to Super Typhoon Lekima.
From: Widespread sea surface salinification induced by tropical cyclones over the Changjiang River Plume
a Spatial pattern of SSS before Lekima passage.Colored-solid line with dots denotes the track of Lekima; 28 and 30 psu isohalines and 28 and 29 °C isotherms are contoured. b Same as (a), but after Lekima passage. Magenta stars denote the locations of buoys B111 and B6001, which are located in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, respectively. c Lekima-induced SSS changes. +3 and +5 psu isohalines are contoured. d–f Same as (a–c), but for the spatial pattern of SST. Abbreviations: TS tropical storm, C1 Category 1, C2 Category 2, C3 Category 3, C4 Category 4.
