Abstract

Cyclonic circulation exists in the northern part of the South China Sea all year round (Su, Cont Shelf Res 24:1745–1760, 2004), the continental slope current is the northern flank of the cyclonic circulation in the northern South China Sea, located on the continental slope outside Dongsha Islands—Hainan Island—Jinsha Bay, with a depth of 200–1000 m.
