However, the underlying reasons for the 2007 sudden bloom of U. prolifera on a large scale remain unknown. This study uses remote sensing data from MODIS\/AQUA spanning the period 2003\u20132022 to investigate the sea surface temperature (SST) structure changes in the southern Yellow Sea (SYS) over the past 20 years. The results demonstrate the following. (1) Since 2007, the NJ northward current and the Yangtze estuary warm current have exhibited higher temperatures, earlier northward intrusions, and larger influence areas, leading to a faster warming rate in NJ before mid-May. This rapid increase in SST to a level suitable for early U. prolifera growth triggers large-scale blooms. (2) The change in temperature structure is primarily induced by a prolonged and intense La Ni\u00f1a event in 2007\u20132008. However, since 2016, under stable global climate conditions, the temperature structure of the SYS has returned to the pre-2007 state, corresponding to a decrease in the scale of U. prolifera blooms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16234407","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,25]],"date-time":"2024-11-25T08:38:24Z","timestamp":1732523904000},"page":"4407","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Potential Impact of Sea Surface Temperature Variability on the 2007 Sudden Bloom of Ulva prolifera in the Southern Yellow Sea"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6348-1102","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yufeng","family":"Pan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Submarine Sciences and Prospecting Techniques, Ministry of Education of the People\u2019s Republic of China, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China"},{"name":"College of Marine Geoscience, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China"}]},{"given":"Pin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Institute of Oceanography, MNR, Qingdao 266100, China"}]},{"given":"Jiaxuan","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Qingdao West Coast New Area Marine Development Bureau, Qingdao 266000, China"}]},{"given":"Siyu","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Submarine Sciences and Prospecting Techniques, Ministry of Education of the People\u2019s Republic of China, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China"},{"name":"Academy of the Future Ocean, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China"}]},{"given":"Lvyang","family":"Xing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Submarine Sciences and Prospecting Techniques, Ministry of Education of the People\u2019s Republic of China, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China"},{"name":"College of Marine Geoscience, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2519-7463","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Di","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Submarine Sciences and Prospecting Techniques, Ministry of Education of the People\u2019s Republic of China, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China"},{"name":"College of Marine Geoscience, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China"}]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Submarine Sciences and Prospecting Techniques, Ministry of Education of the People\u2019s Republic of China, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China"},{"name":"College of Marine Geoscience, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1169","DOI":"10.1016\/j.marpolbul.2011.03.040","article-title":"Inter- and intra-annual patterns of Ulva prolifera green tides in the Yellow Sea during 2007\u20132009, their origin and relationship to the expansion of coastal seaweed aquaculture in China","volume":"62","author":"Keesing","year":"2011","journal-title":"Mar.
