Abstract
A coupled biogeochemical-physical model was developed to reproduce the annual cycle of the nutrient and phytoplankton dynamics in the Bohai Sea. Simulations were examined first, and then the nutrient and phytoplankton dynamics were investigated further. It was found that it may be the evolution of the thermal stratifications that is responsible for the spring algae bloom to occur later in the deep basin than in shallow bays. The simulation also shows that the phytoplankton dynamics was characterized by the nitrogen limitation as a whole in BS, though the phosphorus limitation appears in the Yellow River Estuary.
