Abstract

Abstract

Using 9 years (2000-2008) of the high resolution satellite data, the studiy shows the interannual variability of sea surface temperature in the South China Sea, and its relations with the sea surface wind and sea surface height and the characteristics of two cold anomaly events during the study period are discussed. The first EOF mode of the interannual variability of the SST represented the basin scale in-phase change and the interannual oscillation mainly occurred in the deep basin with the oscillation center in the area west of the Luzon Strait and southeast of the Indochina. The results also show that the interannual variability of the SST in the South China Sea is closely associated with the meridional sea level wind: the first mode of SST is obviously correlated with the first mode of sea level wind at 3 month lag, with a correlation coefficient of 0.74; while the second EOF mode of the SST and meridional sea lavel wind is also highly correlated with each other with a correlation coefficient of 0.71. In addition, the second SST EOF mode is clearly correlated with the sea surface height anomaly and also the Nio3.4 index and Southern Oscillation index, showing large scale characteristics.
