Abstract ∼ 40 % for lateral oceanic inflows and outflows. The SCS water volume budget, including the SCSTF, is analyzed at climatological and seasonal scales. The SCS receives on average a 4.5 Sv yearly water volume input, mainly from the Luzon Strait. It laterally releases this water to neighboring seas, mainly to the Sulu Sea through Mindoro Strait (49 %), to the East China Sea via Taiwan Strait (28 %), and to the Java Sea through Karimata Strait (22 %). The seasonal variability of this water volume budget is driven by lateral interocean exchanges. Surface interocean exchanges, especially at Luzon Strait, are all driven by monsoon winds that favor winter southwestward flows and summer northeastward surface flows. Exchanges through Luzon Strait deep layers show a stable sandwiched structure with vertically alternating inflows and outflows. Last, differences in flux estimates induced by the use of a high-resolution model vs. a low-resolution model are quantified.
