Abstract

Based on the observational current meter data from two mooring systems located between Chilung and the Pengjiayu Island from July 1980 to July 1981, and other oceanographic observational data in the south of the East China Sea, some problems on the flow of seawater in this area in summer are analysed in this paper.It is considered that a possible passage where the subsurface water of the Kuroshio flows into continental shelf area of the East China Sea is the lower layer of the region between Chilung and the point of 122°30' E, 25°40'N.After passing through this passage, it flows roughly towards northeast along about 100 m isobath.The "Taiwan Warm Current" coming from the Taiwan Strait only passes through the upper layer of this area.The influence of the Taiwan Island on the flow and the eddies in this area are also discussed.
