摘要	A method based on the Okubo-Weiss parameter was used to detect subsurface eddies (SSEs) with an eddy-resolving ocean general circulation model. Statistical analyses showed that SSEs are ubiquitous in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Three regions were found to have high probability of SSE, which are as follows: the latitudinal band between 9 degrees N and 17 degrees N, the Kuroshio extension region, and the area east of the Ryukyu Islands. Although surface eddies (SEs) were found distributed widely within the zonal band of the Subtropical Counter Current, few SSEs were found there. In contrast, few SEs were found to the east of The Philippines, whereas SSEs were abundant. The kinetic energy contained within SSE was found comparable in magnitude with that of SE. During 1993-2013, about 2569 and 2099 SSEs (at a depth of about 400m) were observed to be anticyclonic and cyclonic, respectively; thus, SSEs tended to be anticyclonic. The mean radius, lifespan, and propagation speed of SSE in this study were about 60km, 50days, and 6.6cm/s, respectively. The propagation speed showed a wave-like decrease with increasing latitude. Some long-lived SSEs were found to persist for longer than 4months and to move thousands of kilometers. About 89% of SSEs were nonlinear for at least half their lifespan, which implies that SSE can trap interior fluid during translation. Trajectories revealed that SSEs propagate nearly due west with only small meridional deflection. The findings of this study will contribute to the enrichment of our knowledge regarding SSE in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.
