Numerical simulation of tropical cyclone generated waves in South China Sea during winter monsoon surge

Abstract The South China Sea (SCS) is a highly semi-enclosed marginal sea located in the East Asian monsoon region. This paper proposes interesting aspects of the unique feature of the SCS waves in response to tropical cyclone's passage when large-scale winter monsoon winds prevail. We use the...
