| Abstract: | Data from XBT observations in the vicinity of the shoal, Kokushô-sone (30°00′N, 128°30′E) which is located in the current zone of the Kuroshio in the East China Sea, are analysed to show the distribution of isothermal layers. Isothermal layers are found in abundance in and near a cold water region along the slope of the shoal where the existence of upwelling is suggested. It is found that there is a good spatial correlation between the distribution of isothermal layers and that of cold waters along the slope, and that the distribution of isothermal layers is a helpful indicator for elucidating the nature of oceanic structures in the vicinity of the shoal. |
