This study is to analyze the variability of floating marine debris(FMD) on the Kuroshio Current Area(KCA). A sighting survey was conducted from July 5th to July 16th, 2013 while navigating on KCA from Keelung, Taiwan to Tokyo, Japan using T/V KAYA of Pukyong National University. The sampled zones were divided into 6 transects and observed FMD during daytime in each transect. And also specified with 56 segments by defined one hour tracking distance as one segment on the survey routes. The results are as follows: 1. Hourly deviation of FMD's quality in each transect goes up to 10 times at NT, HS and SK. The others 3 times or so. 2. During the surveys, the largest amounts of it were found as total mean of $31.0num(ea)/km^2$ at NT transect in the northern part of Taiwan. So it is estimated because this area has gotten out of KCA. 3. And also quality of it on KCA was not directly related to Kuroshio Current's strong or weak. In conclusion, For the more detailed results on KCA are required of much more surveys.

The characteristics of surface circulation in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea are discussed by analyzing a great deal of current data observed by 142 sets of mooring buoy and 58 sets of drifters trajectories collected in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea through domestic and abroad measurements. Some major features are demonstrated as bellow: 1) Tsushima Warm Current flows away from the Kuroshio and has multiple sources in warm half year and comes only from Kuroshio surface water in cold half year. 2) Taiwan Warm Current comes mainly from the Taiwan Strait Water in warm half year and comes from the intruded Kuroshio surface water and branches near 27N in cold half year. 3) The Changjiang Diluted Water turns towards Cheju Island in summer and flows southward along the coastal line in winter. 4) The study sea area is an eddy developing area, especially in the southern area of Cheju Island and northern area of Taiwan.

Some features of vertical structure of the frontal interaction zone of the warm Kuroshio Current and cold Oyashio Current are known from 1930 from analysis of ship data. Ship data however do not allow carrying out the area detailed survey opposite to satellite infrared (IR) observations which possess by high spatial and temporal resolution. Analysis of NOAA AVHRR IR images demonstrated that process of formation and development of the Kuroshio warm core rings is highly complex. They are formed as a result of development of anticyclonic meanders of the warm Kuroshio waters and spin off them from the current. Joint analysis of thermal infrared images and altimetry data has also indicated that interaction of eddies to the frontal zone plays a crucial role in formation of large eddies moving to the Southern Kuril region.

The geostrophic current component is estimated from the sea surface velocity observed by the long-range High-Frequency Ocean Radar (HF radar) system in the upstream of the Kuroshio, by comparing with geostrophic velocity determined from along-track T/P and Jason-1 altimetry data. However, the sea surface velocity of the HF radar (HF velocity) contains not only the geostrophic current but also the ageostrophic current such as tidal current and wind-driven Ekman current. Tidal current component is first extracted by the harmonic analysis of the time series of the HF velocity. Then, the Ekman current is further estimated from daily wind data of IFREMER by applying the least-square method to the residual difference between the HF velocity and the altimetry geostrophic velocity. As a result, the Ekman current in the HF velocity is estimated as 1.32 % of the wind speed and as rotated 45$^{\circ}$ clockwise to the wind direction. These parameters are found almost common in the Kuroshio area and in the Open Ocean. After these corrections, the geostrophic velocity component in the HF velocity agrees well with the altimetry geostrophic velocity.

Total primary production resulting from the photosynthetic process can be defined as the amount of organic matter produced in a given period of time. It is proportional to the chlorophyll-a (chl-a) values in the surface layer of the ocean. The MODIS board on Aqua satellite measures visible and infrared radiation in 36 wavebands, providing simultaneous images of chl-a concentration and sea surface temperature (SST) in the upper layer of the sea. The seasonal distribution of chl-a concentration during one year from April 2005 to March 2006 was examined. Light has a role of starting the seasonal cycle. The Kuroshio Current in this area induces many oceanographical features affecting to the change of seasonal control. The chl-a concentration is also seasonal, which is low in summer and high in winter. In summer, the meandering of Kuroshio Current induces strong eddies and increases the chl-a concentration. In autumn, the delayed small autumn bloom occurred until last December due to the Kuroshio Current. When the Kuroshio axis moves far from the coast, the coastal water dominates and increases the concentration even in the winter. The spring bloom starts early at the beginning of March and decreases during the spring.

GEK(Geomagnetic Electrokinetograph)가 개발되고 그에 대한 취급의 간편, 측정의 용이, 정도의 우수성으로 GEK를 이용한 많은 관측이 수행되고 또 그들 자료를 바탕으로 많은 연구에 임하고 있어, 지금은 해양관측에 있어 필수의 기계로서 이것으로 해류조사를 행한다고 하는 것은 널리 알려진 바이다. 그러나 여기에서는 " 사쓰난"(살남) 해역 (일본 구주 남서방해역)과 같이 조석류와 복잡한 해저지형 및 대소다양한 도서의 분포 등으로 영향 받는 해역에서의 GEK 측정은 타해역 (일본 본주 남방의 흑조류역 등)에서 행하여지는 것 같이 쉽지 않다고 볼 수 있다. 여기에 일본 사쓰난해역에서 조사된 GEK의 측득치에 대하여 검토하였다.대하여 검토하였다.

The origin of the Tsushima Current water was investigated with a discussion on the western North Pacific Central Water. The Tsushima Current water is formed by the mixing of the Kuroshio surface water and the East China Sea water. The area where the mixing takes place remarkably is found to be the marginal region of the continental shelf of the East China Sea at the depth from 100 to 200 meters.

The first 7 years of altimeter data from the TOPEX/POSEIDON (T/P) were analyzed to study the surface circulation and its variability in the East Asian Marginal Seas. Long term averaged T/P sea level time series data where compared with in situ sea level measurements from a float-operated type tide gauge around of south Korea and Japan. T/P data are a large contaminated by 60-day tidal aliasing effect, very near the alias periods of M2 and S2. When this 60-day effect is removed, the data agree well with the tide gauge data with 4.6 cm averaged RMS difference. The T/P derived sea level variability reveals clearly the well-known, strong current-topography such as Kuroshio. The T/P mean sea level of North Pacific (NP) was higher than Yellow Sea (YS) and East Sea (ES). The T/P sea level valibility, with strong eddy and meandaring, was the largest in eastern part of Japan and this variability was mainly due to the influence of bottom topography in Kuroshio Extention area.

1. 여름(8월)에 북위 $29^{\circ}$ 동경 $127^{\circ}30'$ 근해의 동지나해 대륙붕 동측을 동복진하는 Kuroshio의 주류는 처음에는 연안 수괴와 반류역 수괴의 표층 경계를 폭좁게 통과하나, 동진함에 다라 범위가 넓어져 큐우슈우 남방의 Tokora 해협 부근에서는 폭이 약 2배로 넓어진다. 2. Kuroshio 강류역의 상층부의 표면 부근이 동지나해 연안수 확장이 있고, 상층부의 밑에는 반류역 표층수의 잠입을 볼 수 있고, 고 중간은 각 수괴가 복잡하게 혼합한 수괴로 되어 있다고 본다. 또, 그 해역의 동쪽에는 균일한 수괴를 형성한다고 볼 수 있다. 3. 이 해역에서 Kuroshio의 연직 혼합은 대략 표면에서 250m층간이다. 4. 아마미섬과 동지나해 대륙붕간의 수괴는 와동역과 반류역 Kuroshio 유역, 연안수의 잠입에 의한 Kuroshio 혼합역으로 구분된다. 5. 이 해역에서 얻어진 최대 유속은 139cm/sec이며, 단위 시간당 Kuroshio 수송량은 $24.6\;\times\;10^6m^3/sec$로서 남부의 오끼나와섬과 대륙붕 해역간의 $33\;\times\;10^6m^3/sec$ 보다 적다. 6. 표층 해류는 Tsushima 해협, 제주도 방면으로 향하는 것, 큐우슈우 연안으로 향하는 것, Tokora 해협을 거쳐 태평양으로 빠지는 것, 아마미 군도 및 오끼나와, 팔중산군도로 남향하는 것 등으로 구분된다. 그리고, 제주도와 Tsushima로 향하는 것은 유속이 극히 느려 0.3-0.5 놋트의 유동이었다. 7. 대륙붕 연변의 경사에서 저층 표류물은 Tsushima 난류에 향하여 수송된다. 그것은 대륙붕 위에서 저층 표류물이 황해 저층수로 유입되는 수송양식과는 다른 수송 기구를 이루고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 8, 여러 수괴가 혼합되어 있는 이 해역을 Kuroshio가 흐르는 동안, 대륙 연안수와 혼합이 심하여, Kuroshio는 그 성질 일부가 크게 변질한다.

TOPEX/POSEIDON(T/P) 위성의 7년 간 고도계자료를 사용하여 동북아시아지역에서의 해수면 순환과 해수면 변화에 대하여 연구하였다. 헌장 조위자료와 고도계자료간의 비교에서, 고도계에 포함되어 있는 60일의 tidal aliasing(M$_2$ 및 S$_2$의 해양조석 성분)의 영향을 제거한 후 순수 해수면 성분을 구하였다. 해수면 변동을 보면 쿠로시오 해류가 사행을 하면서 강하게 흘러가는 일본 동남부해역에서 뚜렷한 와류의 형성과 함께 높은 해수면 변화 값을 보였다. 이것은 쿠로시오의 확장과 해저지형의 영향과 기인하다. 평균해수면은 황해 및 동해에 비해서 북태평양해역에서 높게 나타났다.
