Abstract The South China Sea (SCS) is a semi-enclosed ocean basin, with its sole
deepwater renewal channel in the northeast, the Luzon Strait, connected to the northwestern …

Abstract The South China Sea (SCS) is a large marginal sea connecting the Indian and
Pacific oceans. Under the factors of monsoons, strait transport, and varied bathymetry, the …

Abstract In the South China Sea (SCS), an alternating cyclonic-anticyclonic-cyclonic (CAC)
circulation is recognized in the upper-middle-deep layers based on the principle of Stokes …

The abyssal current is important for water renewal and energy conversion in the deep South
China Sea (SCS), and it potentially contributes to the upper and middle circulations. A …

Abstract Topographic Rossby waves (TRWs) play an important role in deep-ocean dynamics
and abyssal intraseasonal variations. Observational records from 15 current-and pressure …

Vertical profiles of temperature obtained from various hydrographic datasets show that deep
waters (below 1,200 m) in the Andaman Sea are warmer (about 2° C) than that of the Bay of …

This study investigates the deep circulation in the South China Sea (SCS) using
oceanographic observations combined with results from a bottom layer reduced gravity …

Tide-induced near-inertial internal waves (NIWs) are generated by tide–topography
interaction and are energized by internal tides through triadic resonant interaction of internal …

Mesoscale eddies are ubiquitous dynamical features, accounting for over 90% of the total
kinetic energy of the ocean. However, the pathway for eddy energy dissipation has not been …

Microorganisms display diverse biogeographic patterns in the three-dimensional contiguous
seawater. The distance-decay relationship, the change in species composition similarity …
