A warm core is remarkable in spring in the region between the edge of the continental shelf and the Ryukyu submarine ridge, while it is less marked in summer. On the north of the warm core isotherms and isohalines over the continental slope decline sharply, especially in spring. The upwelling seems to take place on the south of the submarine ridge in spring and is not appreciable in summer. Saline water creeps further to the north on the continental shelf in summer than in spring. The volume transport of the east component of the Kuroshio in spring and summer is ca 31×106 m^3/sec and 28×106 m^3/sec respectively. Another eastward flow exists to the south of the submarine ridge in both seasons, shifting very much with season.}, pages = {99--114}, title = {Oceanic Conditions near the Ryukyu Islands II : Oceanic Conditions on 125°E in Spring and Summer of 1966}, volume = {18}, year = {} }
