In total, 31,744 cyclonic eddies (CEs, snapshot) and 29,324 anticyclonic eddies (AEs) were detected in the SCS between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2016. The composite analysis has uncovered that changes in physical parameters modulated by eddies are mainly confined to the upper 400 m. The maximum change of temperature (T), salinity (S) and potential density (\u03c3\u03b8) within the composite CE reaches \u22121.5 \u00b0C at about 70 m, 0.1 psu at about 50 m, and 0.5 kg m\u22123 at about 60 m, respectively. In contrast, the maximum change of T, S and \u03c3\u03b8 in the composite AE reaches 1.6 \u00b0C (about 110 m), \u22120.1 psu (about 70 m), and \u22120.5 kg m\u22123 (about 90 m), respectively. The maximum swirl velocity within the composite CE and AE reaches 0.3 m s\u22121. The zonal freshwater transport induced by CEs and AEs is (373.6 \u00b1 9.7)\u00d7103 m3 s\u22121 and (384.2 \u00b1 10.8)\u00d7103 m3 s\u22121, respectively, contributing up to (8.5 \u00b1 0.2)% and (8.7 \u00b1 0.2)% of the annual mean transport through the Luzon Strait.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10050795","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,21]],"date-time":"2018-05-21T04:07:30Z","timestamp":1526875650000},"page":"795","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Vertical Structure Anomalies of Oceanic Eddies and Eddy-Induced Transports in the South China Sea"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7426-3175","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenjin","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Meteorological Disaster, Ministry of Education (KLME)\/Joint International Research Laboratory of Climate and Environment Change (ILCEC)\/Collaborative Innovation Center on Forecast and Evaluation of Meteorological Disasters (CIC-FEMD), Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"},{"name":"School of Marine Sciences, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"given":"Changming","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Marine Sciences, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"},{"name":"Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine Science and Technology College, Zhejiang Ocean University, Zhoushan 316022, China"},{"name":"First Institute of Oceanography, State Oceanic Administration, Qingdao 266061, China"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Marine Sciences, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1531-5262","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yijun","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Marine Sciences, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Science Technology and Industry, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Ding, Y., and Li, C.
