摘要: Abstract The Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) splits into, at least, two branches in the Japan Sea. One is Coastal branch flowing along Japanese coast, and other East Korean (EKWC) northward coast. This study proposes a mechanism that determines volume transport distribution between these around Tsushima/Korea Straits. Results of hydrographic observations indicate stratification western channel develops summer because existence bottom cold water sea surface heating. At same time, EKWC increases. Numerical models show Jebar (joint effect baroclinicity relief) topographic vortex stretching (divergence) are predominant shelf slope Straits, where TWC bifurcates. due to intrusion divergence crossing cancels this Jebar. It increases when intensified.
