With the global warming, the long term variations of sea surface temperature and its anomalies in the Yellow and East China Seas, especially for the July of 2020 due to the abnormally torrential rain along Changjiang/Yangtze River Valley, have been investigated based on the Merged Satellite and In-situ Data Global Daily sea surface temperature (MGDSST) provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) using the methods of composite and correlation analyses. The results suggest, contrary to warming anomalies in the North-western Pacifica Ocean, the sea surface temperature in the East China Sea is cooler around 0.5°C and that in the East China Sea is cooler around 1.3°C than the normal values. The sea surface temperatures approach the extreme low value in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea in July, and warm up to the normal year in August. In addition, the south-westerly summer monsoon over this region, is proposed to contribute the transport of Kuroshio and its pathway. The obvious westerly wind anomalies, correspond to the lower sea surface temperature over the Yellow and East China Seas in July of 2020, leads to a clear less heat advection from Kuroshio to this region. Further, the low sea surface temperature, leading a downward air motion with a convergence at near sea surface level, is helpful for the enhance of the westerly wind anomalies until the strong surface heat flux in August. This study suggests that the local horizontal circulation advection and net heat flux are also dominated on the heat content of the East China waters. Further quantitative studies are worth conducting.

Marginal seas are fundamental to humans for their importance in mariculture resources and commerce. Based on the NOAA 0.25 degree daily Optimum Interpolation (OI) sea surface temperature (SST) data set, spatiotemporal changes in mean and extreme SST in the East China Seas (ECSs) were examined for from 1982 to 2017. As a regional average, the annual mean SST has notably increased at a rate of 0.21 ± 0.08 °C per decade. The warming SST during 1982–2017 is probably related to the influence from a recent strengthening and westward extension of the WPSH. There are also notable warming trends in annual minimum and maximum SST. Spatially, the rapid warming of annual mean SSTs are located in the vicinity of the Yangtze Estuary, exceeding 0.2 °C per decade and part of the ECS-Kuroshio. This pattern may be largely affected by the spatial changes of minimum SST. Rapid warming of maximum SST can be found across the region, from the northern East China Sea (ECS) to the Bohai Sea. Since 1982, extreme hot days (EHDs) have undergone an obvious increasing trend, at a rate of 15.2 days per decade. Conversely, extreme cold days (ECDs) have been decreasing. Notably, the largest increase of EHDs appears in the western ECS and the Bohai Sea, which both have rich marine ecosystems. The trend of EHDs has a significant relationship to mean SST, suggesting that there will be a further increase in EHDs under continued warming in the ECSs. These findings emphasize the importance and urgency of strategies which should be planned for the adaptation and mitigation of specific types of extreme hot events in this region.

The East China Shelf Seas, comprising the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the shelf region of East China Sea, play significant roles among the shelf seas of the Western North Pacific Ocean. The projection of sea surface temperature (SST) changes in these regions is a hot research topic in marine science. However, this is a very difficult task due to the lack of available long-term projection data. Recently, with the high development of simulation technology based on numerical models, the model intercomparison projects, e.g., Phase 5 of the Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5), have become important ways of understanding climate changes. CMIP5 provides multiple models that can be used to estimate SST changes by 2100 under different representative concentration pathways (RCPs). This paper developed a CMIP5-based SST investigation framework for the projection of decadal and seasonal variation of SST in East China Shelf Seas by 2100. Since the simulation results of CMIP5 models may have degrees of errors, this paper uses hydrological observation data from World Ocean Atlas 2018 (WOA18) for model validation and correction. This paper selects seven representative ones including ACCESS1.3, CCSM4, FIO-ESM, CESM1-CAM5, CMCC-CMS, NorESM1-ME, and Max Planck Institute Earth System Model of medium resolution (MPI-ESM-MR). The decadal and seasonal SST changes in the next 100 years (2030, 2060, 2090) are investigated by comparing with the present analysis in 2010. The experimental results demonstrate that SST will increase significantly by 2100: the decadal SST will increase by about 1.55 °C, while the seasonal SST will increase by 1.03–1.95 °C.
