Description
Summary:The South China Sea（SCS）,the largest marginal sea of the Northwest Pacific Ocean,is characterized by frequent occurrence of energetic mesoscale eddies.The eddy diameters range from 100 to 300 km.The eddy lifespan varies from several days to several months with the longest time of seven months（Zheng et al.,2017）.The eddy disturbance reaches down to the ocean bottom layer.
