Summer wind gusts modulate transport through a narrow strait, Bohai, China

The hydrological and hydrodynamic response of Bohai Strait to an intense wind gust in the summer of 2016 was synthesized based on a 9-day in-situ observation at two mooring stations across the strait. At the north station, the sea level abnormally rose by 0.4 m during the wind gust. Strong subtidal inflow (into Bohai Sea) was observed during the gust, then changed to outflow after the gust subsided. At the southern station, the hydrographic...
