South China Sea IW Map in Zhao et al (2004)

A set of internal solitary waves (ISWs) are observed in satellite images acquired from 1995 to 2001. The collection shows the northwestward propagation of 116 ISWs from the Luzon Strait to Dongsha Island. This data set is used to plot Figure 1 in Zhao et al (2004 GRL), which for the first time reveals the internal tide origin of ISWs in the northeastern South China Sea. See details in the linked reference.本数据集收录了1995年至2001年间通过卫星影像观测得到的内孤立波（internal solitary waves, ISWs）样本集。该数据集记录了116个内孤立波从吕宋海峡向西北方向传播至东沙岛的完整过程。本数据集被用于绘制Zhao等人2004年发表于《地球物理研究通讯》（Geophysical Research Letters, GRL）的论文中的图1，该研究首次揭示了南海东北部内孤立波的内潮汐起源。详细信息请参见所引用的参考文献。
