Tidal currents in Lianyungang nearshore area reveal surprising seasonal patterns.
The study looked at tidal currents near Lianyungang. They found that the speed and direction of the currents change between flood and ebb tides. The currents follow a regular pattern and flow in a straight line near the shore. As the water gets deeper, the currents start to rotate, mostly in a counter-clockwise direction. The speed and direction of the currents vary depending on the season.
