Abstract: The structure and dynamics of the water are studied on the basis of hydrological and meteorological long-term data combined with the materials of field observations over a period longer than half a century in the region of the Ryukyu archipelago. New data about the hydrological characteristics of the waters were obtained. Characteristic differences of waters of various modifications in the main straits between the islands are demonstrated. The dependence of the water structure formation in the straits on the seasonal variability of the water exchange through the straits is distinguished. The scientific studies results were presented in the manner of electronic product. |
Keywords and phrases: thermohaline structure, Ryukyu Straits, East China Sea, Philippine Sea, Kuroshio current. |
