Formation Processes of Intermediate and Deep Waters in the Okinawa Trough

摘要：

　　Water mass formations in the intermediate and deep layers of the Okinawa Trough are investigated in connection with water mass distributions near the slope areas east of Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands.We use two distinct datasets: a quasi-climatological salinity,potential temperature and depth dataset on the minimum salinity surface with a relatively high horizontal resolution (1/3°×1/3°),which was produced with Argo float profile data in addition to historical CTD data,and a velocity dataset below about 500 m depth in the Kerama Gap during 2009/06–2011/06,which was measured by moored current-meters.
