Abstract
Tidal oscillations in the South China Sea (SCS) are mainly co-oscillating tides spread from tidal waves of the Pacific Ocean. The independent tide generated by the rising force of the moon and the sun is much smaller, but is important to the deeper area of the SCS and has strong effect to semidiurnal constituents.
