Abstract In order to clarify the current structure of the Tsushima Warm Current along the Japanese coast, the CTD and ADCP measurements were carried out during two cruises in May 1995 and June 1996 off the Wak...asa Bay. The Tsushima Warm Current along the Japanese coast had two axes above the thermocline, the nearshore axis was located within 30km from the coast, following the isobath of the 150m depth, and the offshore one well corresponded to the thermal front on the shelf break. Below the thermocline, a southwestward subsurface counter current were found although there are some discrepancies in the structure of the undercurrent between the geostrophic calculations and the results of the multi-level ADCP. This discrepancy might come from the presence of the strong thermocline where the ADCP system might be inaccurate.show more
