Short summary
The Yellow Sea is known for its strong tidal and wind forcing that influence surface currents. However, traditional methods assume steady-state surface current, making it hard to capture effects of tide and typhoon. In this study, we developed a new method that considers inertia. By comparing our results with observations, we found that this approach provides improved accuracy compared to previous methods. This improvement can contribute to better understanding of dynamics in the Yellow Sea.
