The reason for the abnormally low sea temperature offshore Qingdao in February 2010.

Significantly affected by land. Qingdao City is adjacent to the western part of the South Yellow Sea and is obviously affected by the South Yellow Sea. Many bays and harbors extending into the land are greatly affected by the land, forming local marine hydrological characteristics. In the sea area near Qingdao City and Jiaozhou Bay, the spatial distribution and temporal changes of seawater temperature have obvious seasonal characteristics. The water temperature in each sea area is the lowest in February and the highest in late summer, with spring and autumn as the transition seasons. The average surface water temperature throughout the year is about 13°C.
