  • High resolution (0.5 cm) grain size analysis by laser particle size analyzer and 210Pb dating of two short cores collected from the mud patches of central part of the southern Yellow Sea (Core YSZD01) and western part of the northern Yellow Sea (Core B45) were performed. Our results show that Core B45, which was deposited from 1913 to 2010, is mainly composed of silt, and its grain size parameters fluctuate vertically. The main sediment of Core YSZD01, which was developed from 1909 to 2012, is mud and sandy mud, and its grain size parameters change little along the core length. Sand fractions in the two cores around 1958, 1971 and 1980 are abruptly increased. We argue that strong cold-air outbreaks probably occurred in the study area, which enhanced ocean hydrodynamics and thereby resulted in abrupt increase in coarse fraction. By the grain size-standard deviation method, we got the environmental sensitive grain size components of Cores B45 and YSZD01, 15.6~71.8 μm and 23.7~500.0 μm, respectively, which are used to indicate variations of the East Asian Monsoon since 1910. The increased percentages of sensitive components during four periods of 1925~1935, 1955~1964, 1974~1977, and 1982~1986, are consistent with significant increase of the East Asian winter monsoon. It seems that the changes in content and fluctuation of sensitive grain size component in the mud patches of the Yellow Sea can be used to indicate variations in intensity and frequency of the East Asian Winter Monsoon.

Abstract: High resolution (0.5 cm) grain size analysis by laser particle size analyzer and 210Pb dating of two short cores collected from the mud patches of central part of the southern Yellow Sea (Core YSZD01) and western part of the northern Yellow Sea (Core B45) were performed. Our results show that Core B45, which was deposited from 1913 to 2010, is mainly composed of silt, and its grain size parameters fluctuate vertically. The main sediment of Core YSZD01, which was developed from 1909 to 2012, is mud and sandy mud, and its grain size parameters change little along the core length. Sand fractions in the two cores around 1958, 1971 and 1980 are abruptly increased. We argue that strong cold-air outbreaks probably occurred in the study area, which enhanced ocean hydrodynamics and thereby resulted in abrupt increase in coarse fraction. By the grain size-standard deviation method, we got the environmental sensitive grain size components of Cores B45 and YSZD01, 15.6~71.8 μm and 23.7~500.0 μm, respectively, which are used to indicate variations of the East Asian Monsoon since 1910. The increased percentages of sensitive components during four periods of 1925~1935, 1955~1964, 1974~1977, and 1982~1986, are consistent with significant increase of the East Asian winter monsoon. It seems that the changes in content and fluctuation of sensitive grain size component in the mud patches of the Yellow Sea can be used to indicate variations in intensity and frequency of the East Asian Winter Monsoon.
