The hydrographic and circulation properties of both the Yellow and East China Seas are controlled by their proximity to the Kuroshio Current and the seasonal variation of the monsoon winds.
The chief currents are a northwest trending branch of the Kuroshio called the Yellow Sea Current, the southward flowing China Coastal Current, and an unnamed current flowing southward along the west coast of Korea that carries low salinity water from the Bohai Gulf.
Frontal regions separate the currents in this alternating flow pattern which is identifiable through the year, although the flow strength of the individual currents varies seasonally with the monsoons.

Bourne's picture of the flow in the Atlantic started with the general westward flow around the southern tip of Africa merging with that in the Atlantic, with the combined volume being too great to squeeze through the Straits of Magellan.
Thus part of the flow was diverted northwards along the South American coast, into the Gulf of Mexico, and then out between Florida and Cuba and eastwards towards Europe.
He also proposed a second type of steady, non-tidal current that flows against the wind during periods of strong winds, with the driving force being a hypothesized upward tilt of the sea surface downwind caused by waves piling up water there.
