In view of the lack of applicability of the existing equivalent evaporation duct feature calculation scheme in China's sea area and the requirement of the evaporation duct model test, this study used the actual sounding data in China's coastal areas and studied the applicability of the three computational schemes proposed by J.F. Howell, S.P. Oncley, and G.J. Steeneveld in different sea areas and different seasons by comparing the error and standard deviation. The applicability of the sea area shows that the best calculation scheme for the equivalent evaporating duct feature in the South China Sea is the scheme proposed by G.J. Steeneveld et al., while the optimal calculation method for the East China Sea is the scheme proposed by S.P. Oncley et al.; the seasonal applicability shows that the scheme proposed by G.J. Steeneveld et al. has the best-fitting results in the spring, while in the summer and winter, the scheme proposed by S.P. Oncley et al. fits best. These results provide a theoretical basis for the follow-up study.
