By using various satellite remote sensing data and statistical analysis method, the contribution of typhoons in summer (from June to September) to the precipitation and freshwater flux in the South China Sea (SCS) and their possible influences on circulation anomalies in the SCS in the past 17 years (2000-2016) were studied. The main conclusions are as follows. Typhoon is one of the crucial factors that impact the precipitation in both northern and middle SCS, and the daily mean precipitation can be increased by 12 mm, which accounts for half of the daily mean rainfall in the SCS during summer. Besides, there are significant differences in the location and intensity of the rainfall distributions between the Northwest Pacific Ocean typhoons (NWP TYs) and SCS typhoons(SCS TYs). In summer, the saline circulation in the SCS induced by freshwater flux shows a weak cyclone that centers in the southwestern part of Hainan island with its magnitude of about -0.15 Sv, which is approximately 10% of wind-induced circulation (about -1.5 Sv) during the corresponding period. Precipitation induced by typhoons can intensify cyclonic saline circulation in the northern-central part of the SCS in summer. And the intensity of the saline circulation caused by NWP typhoons is stronger compared to that by SCS typhoons.
