Correction to: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-019-47886-y, published online 20 August 2019

The original version of this Article contained a typographical error in the Abstract.

“Specifically, we estimated that ISWs could induce and suspend 78.7 Mt/yr of sediment from shelf to deep-sea areas of the northern South China Sea.”

now reads:

In addition, the original version of this Article contained a typographical error in the Conclusion.

“We estimated that ISWs could suspend 78.7 Mt/yr sediment from the shelf to the deep sea in the northern South China Sea, which accounted for 6.1% (16.4% of the contribution of Asian rivers) of the global river-discharged sediment transported to the sea.”
