Abstract

Abstract

On the basis of hydrographic data obtained in December,1998 cruise,the three dimensional structure of circulation in the South China Sea(SCS)is computed by using three dimensional diagnostic model.The following computed results have been obtained.(1)On the circulation systems in the SCS during the winter of 1998,it is found that:1)In the northern SCS,there is a cold and cyclonic eddy northwest of Luzon,and there is an anticy clonic eddy near the Dongsha Islands;2)in the central SCS,a coastal southward jet is present at the western boundary near the coast of Vietnam;there is a stronger cyclonic circulation east of Vietnam,and there is a weaker ant icyclonic circulation east of this cyclonic circulation; 3)in the southern SCS,there is an anticyclonic circulation in the area west of 112°E,and there is a cyclonic circulation northwest of Borneo Island.
