Modeled results. Distributions of residual unit width water flux at the surface (a) and time-averaged salinity (b) from February 10 to 13, 2014 under climatic wind and residual water level at open sea boundaries. The dashed isohaline represents a salinity of 0.45; the red dot denotes the location of water intake for Qingcaosha Reservoir. Temporal variations in residual water flux (c) and salt flux (d) across Sec in the North Channel from February 6 to 24, 2014. Dashed line: under climatic wind and residual water level at open sea boundaries; solid red line: under realistic wind and residual water level at the open sea boundaries in February 2014. A positive value represents seaward flux, and a negative value represents landward flux.
