Abstract

The first mesoscale eddy mentioned by scholars in the South China Sea is the cold eddy off the central part of Vietnam in summer (Huang et al. in Adv Earth Sci 7:1–9, 1992). Xu et al. (An overview of the horizontal circulation in the South China Sea. Science Press, Beijing, 1982) gave the climatical (seasonal average) results of the South China Sea such as the winter cyclonic eddy in the northwest of the Luzon Island and the summer anticyclonic eddy off southeastern Vietnam.
