| Abstract: | I have been concerned with oceanographic observations made since 1948 by the oceanographic group of the Japan Meteorological Agency. My primary interest has been to describe physical aspects of the Kuroshio current system and its adjacent regions. Much efforts have been devoted to observing current and water characteristics of the Kuroshio south of Japan and the Kuroshio extension east of Japan and to describing various kinds of fluctuations ranging from diurnal to seasonal or year-to-year variations. I have also attempted to study the equatorial current system particularly in the western Pacific and those characteristic water-types in the central region of the North Pacific. |
