Analyzing the Seasonal Variability in South China Sea Surface Currents with Drifter Observations, Satellite-Derived Data, and Reanalysis Data

This study examines the seasonal variability of surface currents in the South China Sea (SCS) and its adjacent regions, employing trajectory data from four seasonal deployments of Beidou drifters in the northern SCS. These observations are supplemented by reanalysis datasets, as well as satellite-de...
