| 英文摘要 | The continental shelf pump is believed to be important in transporting terrestrial materials across the East China Sea (ECS). More than 300 water samples collected from the ECS and a numerical model were used to identify the cross-shelf exchanges of dissolved aluminum (Al) in the ECS in summer. The results indicated that dissolved Al concentrations ranged from <1.0 to 242 nM, with the highest concentrations observed in the Zhe-Min coastal waters, while the lowest concentrations were determined to be in Kuroshio deep waters. The Kuroshio surface waters receive additional dissolved Al from the ECS continental shelf through a cross-shelf exchange process. By using dissolved Al as a tracer, evidence was found about the cross-shelf transport of Al in the ECS. Cross-shelf transport of dissolved Al was associated with fluctuations in the Taiwan Strait Warm Water, and the driving mechanisms were analyzed using a momentum equation. Ekman transport promoted by the summer monsoon was the key physical mechanism controlling the off-shelf transport of dissolved Al. Quantitative calculations showed that the ECS was a net source of dissolved Al to adjacent waters, of which almost 65% of the output entered the East/Japan Sea, while the remaining 35% entered the Kuroshio currents. Our results highlight the importance of cross-shelf transport processes to the distribution and cycling of biogenic elements within the marginal seas of China, and highlight the wider implications for biogeochemical cycles throughout the western Pacific Ocean. © 2021.
