  1. The Taiwan Current: its transport and water-mass structure Dr. John Yuzhu You* University of Sydney Institute of Marine Science Madsen Building F09 University of Sydney NSW 2006 Australia *Currently visiting Taiwan Ocean Research Institute Seminar given at Institute of Marine Environmental Sciences and Technology, National Taiwan Normal University at 2:10 pm on Oct 20, 2009

  2. Abstract Ocean currents carry water from water-mass formation region to remote area, distributing heat, salt and biochemical properties. Ocean circulation plays a crucial role in climate change. The Taiwan Current (TC) is most western limb of the North Pacific subtropical gyre and part of the Kuroshio system. The TC affects Taiwanese weather, precipitation, fishery, ecosystem, industry, agriculture and virtually every day life. The TC transport varies with space and time. Its water-mass structure differs vertically and spatially. The source waters to form the TC volume are unknown. The present study uses a large set of hydrography and attempts to resolve the transport variability and to identify and trace its source waters.
