Short summary
Previous studies show that only when water flows into and out of the Luzon Strait (LS), material and energy exchange between the South China Sea (SCS) and the Northwest Pacific (NWP) will take place. However, our studies demonstrate that mesoscale eddies in the NWP can transfer vorticity to mesoscale eddies in the SCS, without water exchange in the LS. This provides a new perspective for the study of material and energy exchange between the SCS and NWP.
