The present study analyses the mean and seasonal mesoscale surface circulation of the Northern South China Sea (NSCS) and determines the influence of El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO). High resolution Eulerian velocity field is derived by combining the available satellite tracked surface drifter d...
