Numerical tracing simulation on Green Tides in the Yellow Sea for contingency forecast
黄海绿潮应急溯源数值模拟初步研究

Based on three-dimensional dynamical POM (Princeton Ocean Model), the origin of Green Tides was traced in contingency forecast by backward integration of Lagrangian particle tracking method. The results showed that if tracing to the middle of May, Green Tides observed on 1st June 2008 by marine surveillance airplane came from waters near Jiangsu and Yancheng in the southern Yellow Sea. The numerical results provided the information of the origin of Green Tide, serving as a reliable base for Chinese government to take corresponding measures.
