Short summary
Based on a well-validated ocean circulation model, we found that near-inertial oscillations (NIOs) and near-inertial kinetic energy (KEni) varied distinctly during forcing and relaxation stages of tropical cyclone (TC) forcing, and the horizontal and vertical transport of KEni was largely modulated by the velocity and vorticity of the jet in the semi-enclosed South China Sea (SCS). This study enriches our understanding of the spatial–temporal variability of NIOs in the frequently TC-affected SCS.
