Abstract:
      The upper ocean currents in the Pacific Ocean are calculated by using an ocean model with higher honzontal resolution.The large current systems in the Pacific Ocean, such as Kuroshio, Oyashio, NEC, SEC, NECC, California Current and East Australia Current, are well simulated.This paper only gives the numerical simulation recults of the upper ocean currents of the representative months in four seasons in the South China Sea (SCS).It shows that the SCS branch of Kuroshio is the most important current in the northern SCS and it is not only the water resource of the SCS warm current but also a significant part of the overall SCS circulation.There is a relatively strong northeastward flow entering the SCS through the Taiwan Strait throughout the year except for specific months.Some of the numerical results have been confirmed by the observational evidences.
