利用1993-2000年多颗卫星海面高度距平的合成时间序列，对南海海域的涡旋进行了识别。估计了涡流寿命、半径、强度和直线行进距离。在此期间，共识别出58个反气旋涡旋和28个气旋涡旋。根据已知的涡旋产生机制，它们被分为四个地理区，并相应地讨论了它们的统计。我们的地理分类是了解这一代人概况的有用的第一步。
A composite time series (1993–2000) of sea surface height anomaly from several satellites is used to identify eddies in the South China Sea (SCS). The eddy lifetime, radius, strength, and straight‐line travel distance are estimated. Altogether 58 anticyclonic eddies and 28 cyclonic eddies are identified for this period. They are grouped into four geographical zones according to known eddy generation mechanisms, and their statistics are discussed accordingly. Our geographical classification is a useful first step in gaining an overview of their generation.
