The results are as follows:(1) a cold water patch was observed in the middle layer of sections from 10 to 25 m, and a weak upwelling was observed at the upper layer near the central Zhejiang coast;(2) several thermoclines, inverted thermoclines, and haloclines were observed in the survey area;(3) the Taiwan Warm Current Water(TWCW) climbing from the slope towards the survey area affected the thermocline, making it thinner and intensified; however, the TWCW was not strong enough to break through the thermocline to reach the sea surface.展开更多
