| Popis: | 107 This study used satellite sea surface temperature (SST) data from 1982 to 2017 to explore the SST trends in seven Asia marginal seas, including the Japan Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, the South China Sea, the Gulf of Thailand, the Andaman Sea, and the Bay of Bengal. The SST data are derived using nonlinear algorithms derived from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer onboard the US Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) series of satellites. Research results show the SST trends are related to latitude. The SST is rising at each marginal sea with a rate about 0.0384 ℃/year for the Sea of Japan, 0.0240 ℃/year for the Yellow Sea, 0.0288 ℃/year for the East China Sea, 0.0192 ℃/year for the South China Sea, 0.0108 ℃/year for the Gulf of Thailand, 0.0120℃/year for the Andaman Sea, and 0.0144 ℃/year for the Bay of Bengal. Generally, the SSTs rise faster in the marginal seas at mid-latitude than that at low-latitude. The same phenomenon also occurs in the trend of the annual highest SST and the annual lowest SST. The SST rising trends are higher with the annual highest SST at mid-latitude marginal seas, while are higher with the annual lowest SST at low-latitude marginal seas. However, the rising trend of the annual highest SST is more obvious. Comparing the average rising trend in summer and winter, the marginal seas at mid-latitude have a higher value of average SST trend in summer, while the marginal seas at low-latitude have a higher value of average SST trend in winter. |
