摘要	Abyssal vorticity balance in the northeast South China Sea was assessed for over a year based on observations from 28 current-and pressure-recording inverted echo sounders distributed west of the Luzon Strait. The regional first-order balance was dominated by the planetary vorticity flux and bottom pressure torque, which reflect the external and internal dy-namics of abyssal circulation. Vertical motion considerably contributed to the planetary vorticity flux, whereas the contribu-tion of horizontal motion was negligible. Positive and negative planetary vorticity fluxes dominate the areas along the eastern and western boundaries, indicating upward and downward vertical transport, respectively. The opposite planetary vorticity fluxes in the different areas were accompanied by different current patterns; regional anticyclonic and cyclonic characteristics appeared near the western and eastern boundaries, respectively, owing to the deep topography as the abyssal current followed the boundary. The planetary vorticity flux near the eastern boundary was substantial in spring and autumn; in contrast, along the western boundary it was enhanced only in spring. Deep eddies played important roles in planetary vorticity flux and re-gional vorticity balance. The results of this study reveal the formation dynamics of abyssal circulation in the South China Sea as well as its spatiotemporal distributions, providing a more detailed description of abyssal circulation.
