在濒临我国闽、浙两省的东海陆架西部海域,存在一股自南向北伸展的、具有高盐特征的外海水。它的消长和运移,对这一海域的水文状况、渔場变动以及邻近区域气候变化等方面的影响都十分显著。 长期以来,在国內外海洋学文献中,曾用不同的名称命名这股高盐水。作者根据它的来源和特征选用了“台湾暖流水”这一名称。 In the western waters of the East China Sea Shelf on the verge of China’s Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, there exists an outer seawater that extends from south to north and has high salt characteristics. Its growth and migration have significant impacts on hydrological conditions, fisheries changes and climate change in the adjacent areas in this area. For a long time, in the oceanographic literature both at home and abroad, this high salt water was named under a different name. The author chose the name of “Taiwan’s warm water” based on its source and characteristics.
