AVISO & Tide Gauge• Time: 1992/10/14~2008/12/31 (16 years)• Tide Gauge : Ishigaki, Keelung• AVISO: SSH, Ug, Vg (1/5 degree)• Both tide gauge and AVISO data are monthly
averaged Discussion:
What contribute to the variation of the Kuroshio northeast off Taiwan?
In order to answer this, the next part is the regression (correlation) between Tide Gauge SSHA and AVISO SSH, Ug, Vg.

Correlation coefficientRegressionY(i,j)=a(i,j)+b(I,j)*XX:tide gauge, Y:AVISOPlotted here is b
Correlation Coef. Is very similar to regression b. The following plot will only use “b”.
Tide gauge SSHA correlates well with a zonal band region east of Taiwan.

The eddy activity contributes to the variation of Kuroshio transport northeast off Taiwan.

Regression, Vg Regression, Ug
Tide Gauge SSHA has good correlation with Kuroshio upstream and the Mindanao Current
1. Eddy zone (anti-cyclonic eddy)2. Two branches of Kuroshio; East China
Sea; Ryukyu Island
p.s. the regressions are very similar to dSSH/dx, dSSH/dy (fig. not shown).

Eddy activity has important influence to the variation of Kuroshio transport east off Taiwan

Regression : AVISO ∆SSH (same locations) & AVISO
Regression : AVISO ∆SSH (East Luzon) & AVISO
High regression also shows in eddy zone.
Further south, at east of Luzon, the Kuroshio transport does not have high regression with eddy zone

East Luzon AVISO ∆SSH & AVISO Vg
Interestingly, the Kuroshio transport east off Luzon does not correlate well with futhur north transport.

summary
• Kuroshio transport east off Taiwan is affected by eddy activity, therefore, it shows different variation with East Luzon transport where is south of the eddy zone.
• Tide gauge ∆SSH has good regression with two branches of Kuroshio; one enter East China Sea; the other one moves along Ryukyu Island
