China expands presence in contested waters
China is expanding the use of fishing fleets, coast guard vessels, and maritime militia across contested waters near Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and the South China Sea, with about 200 boats pushing deeper into the Yellow Sea.

Three-panel woodblock "Our Navy Sinks Chinese Destroyers in the Yellow Sea", by Kobayashi Kiyochika. This was from 1894, during the war between Qing China and Japan for colonial dominance in Korea.
I love how lopsided the composition is. Kobayashi places the waterline near the top, and with the tiny submerged sailors in the middle, it's clear how insignificant we are compared to modern warfare and THE OCEAN. The painter was Japanese, but a viewer might feel sympathy for the Chinese suffering here. Japan's naval flag is visible on the top-right.

🇰🇷 SOUTH KOREA
🔴 China Gains Amid South Korea’s Crisis
🪧 Pres. Yoon arrested after his martial law move was ruled unconstitutional; Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok now leads.
🪧 China expanded Yellow Sea control.
🪧 If South Korea's Democratic Party (DP) rises to power, closer ties with China and strained relations with Japan and the US may follow.

Wei Li et al produce a method for sea surface pCO₂ estimation in the Yellow Sea.
With global climate changing, the carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption rates increased in marginal seas. Due to the limited availability of in-situ spatial and temporal distribution data, the current status of the sea surface carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2) in the Yellow Sea is unclear. Therefore, a pCO2 model based on a random forest algorithm has been developed, which was trained and tested using 14 cruise data sets from 2011 to 2019, and remote sensing satellite sea surface temperature, chlorophyll concentration, diffuse attenuation of downwelling irradiance, and in-situ salinity were used as the input variables. The seasonal and interannual variations of modeled pCO2 were discussed from January 2003 and December 2021 in the Yellow Sea. The results showed that the model developed for this study performed well, with a root mean square difference (RMSD) of 43 μatm and a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.67. Moreover, modeled pCO2 increased at a rate of 0.36 μatm year-1 (R2 = 0.27, p < 0.05) in the YS, which is much slower than the rate of atmospheric pCO2 (pCO2air) rise. The reason behind it needs further investigation. Compared with pCO2 from other datasets, the pCO2 derived from the RF model exhibited greater consistency with the in-situ pCO2 (RMSD = 55 μatm). In general, the RF model has significant improvement over the previous models and the global data sets.

South Korea's Marine chief said Tuesday live-fire drills on border islands in the Yellow Sea need to be resumed to enhance military vigilance against North Korean provocations, as they have been suspended following the 2018 inter-Korean military agreement.
