INTERANNUAL VARIABILITY OF THE KUROSHIO CURRENT INTRUSION IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA

The interannual variability of the Kuroshio Current intrusion into the South China Sea is investigated using a combination of satellite remote sensing data and in situ measurements. This research was conducted as part of the Asian Seas International Acoustic EXperiment (ASIAEX). The circulation of t...
