WebAbstract Structure and transport of the Kuroshio are examined by the inverse method, based on a dataset around the Tokara Strait. Subsurface velocities measured by a shipborne acoustic Doppler current profiler are used together with CTD sections across the Kuroshio to estimate the absolute flow fields. The dataset was obtained along a closed line south off … luz e iluminacion del levante
