PN-line
•The volume transport in the East China Sea is 25 Sv at PN line and its variation is small.
•Ryukyu Current System has a transport from 6 Sv east of Taiwan to 17 Sv east of Amami, and increase of the transport is probably supplied by the Kuroshio recirculation flow (see around OK line).
•The eastward transport at the Kuroshio-Oyashio transition area east of Japan has 41 Sv (32º-36ºN) and 12 Sv (36º-39ºN).
•Oyashio has 14 Sv southward in the nearshore and 11 Sv northward transport crossing OICE line, and seasonal variation shows maximum in winter.
Mean volume transport (arrow) of current system sea around Japan (unit is Sv). Mean sea surface height is also shown (contour line : c.i. is 10 cm).
