| 摘 要： | During the boreal spring of 1966, a warm-core eddy is identified in the upper South China Sea (SCS) west of the Philippines through an analysis of the U.S. Navy’s Master Oceanographic Observation Data Set. This eddy occurred before the development of the northern summer monsoon and disappeared afterward. We propose that this eddy is a result of the radiative warming during spring and the downwelling due to the anticyclonic forcing at the surface. Our hypothesis suggests an air-sea feedback scenario that may explain the development and withdrawal of the summer monsoon over the SCS. The development phase of the warm-core eddy in this hypothesis is tested by using the Princeton Ocean model

| Abstract: | During the boreal spring of 1966, a warm-core eddy is identified in the upper South China Sea (SCS) west of the Philippines
through an analysis of the U.S. Navy’s Master Oceanographic Observation Data Set. This eddy occurred before the development
of the northern summer monsoon and disappeared afterward. We propose that this eddy is a result of the radiative warming during
spring and the downwelling due to the anticyclonic forcing at the surface. Our hypothesis suggests an air-sea feedback scenario
that may explain the development and withdrawal of the summer monsoon over the SCS. The development phase of the warm-core
eddy in this hypothesis is tested by using the Princeton Ocean model.
