520 3 |a Strong sea surface temperature fronts in open seas are known to affect the atmosphere. Shelf-sea fronts in winter have comparable strengths, yet their impacts on winds have not been studied. In January of 2012, a persistent, narrow band of cloud stretching 600-1,000km was observed along the front of East China Sea (ECS). Numerical and analytical models show that the cloud was formed atop a recirculating cell induced by the front and, more generally, that β-plumes of low and high pressures emanate and spread far from fronts. Consistent with the theory, observations show that in ECS at inter-annual time scales, strong fronts co-vary with on-shelf convergent wind, strong northeasterly monsoon, and alongshelf alignment of clouds with low clouds near the coast and higher clouds offshore. Our results suggest that shelf-sea fronts are potentially an important dynamic determinant of climate variability of East Asia.
