The time-mean current for the observational period is 20 to 25 cm sec−1 eastward near the surface and about 10 cm sec−1 westward near the sea bottom except at the shallowest station. The time-mean current,i.e. the nearshore branch of the Tsushima Current is mainly due to the baroclinic modes. The currents are less variable in the first half of the observational period, but fluctuate with a several-day period in the latter half. The obtained current data were decomposed into barotropic and baroclinic modes to investigate the detailed characteristics of the fluctuations. In the latter half, the current fluctuations of the two modes with about a 5-day period are well correlated with each other, as the baroclinic mode lagging behind the barotropic mode by 12 hr. The barotropic current fluctuation is correlated to the sea level, with the former leading the latter by about 12 hr. The baroclinic current is correlated to the temperature at the subsurface layer with a shorter time lag. the Oceanographical Society of Japan, 1989 Journal of the Oceanographical Society of Japan Kluwer Academic Publishers 46/4(1990-08-01), 156-166 0029-8131 46:4<156 1990 46 10872 https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02125576 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02125576 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Matsuyama Masaji Tokyo University of Fisheries, Konan 4-5-7, Minato-ku, 108, Tokyo, Japan aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Journal of the Oceanographical Society of Japan Kluwer Academic Publishers 46/4(1990-08-01), 156-166 0029-8131 46:4<156 1990 46 10872 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
