  • Published : 1995.10.01

Abstract

The horizontal and vertical circulations are considered in the South China Sea, based on the 80 years' winds (COADS), 10 years' XBTs (NODC), and about 10 years' sea-level data at Kaoshiung, Taiwan and Singapore. The South China is largest marginal sea in the western North Pacific, which is predominantly governed by Southeast Asian Monsoons. (omitted)
