MONITOR SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL PATTERNS OF SUSPENDED SEDIMENTS IN THE EAST CHINA AND YELLOW SEAS USING SEAWIFS DATA
Striking patterns of suspended sediments created by a complex interplay of physical, chemical, biological and geological processes in the East China Sea (ECS) and Yellow Sea (YS) have been investigated using SeaWiFS ocean color imagery. The structure of these patterns can reveal a great deal about t...
