[en] The South China Sea (SCS) is a large marginal sea in the tropical region where the percentage of missing data of the daily Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sea surface temperature (SST) is very high. Here we use a relatively new technique, DINEOF (Data INterpolating Empirical Orthogonal Functions), to reconstruct the SST of the SCS in 2003-2009. Furthermore, a comparison between the reconstructed data and daily Tropical rainfall Measuring Mission Microwave Imager (TMI) SST is implemented.
