The transition zone between the Kuroshio and the Seto Inland Sea waters was found in the Bungo Channel. The sea surface temperature in the Kuroshio and the Seto Inland Sea were 20°-22°C and 15°C, respectively. The horizontal gradient of temperature in the transition zone were about 0.12°C/mile on Leg 1 (outward cruise) and about 0.07°C/mile on Leg 2 (return cruise). The front was formed near the western region of the Sea of Iyo (33°-30'.0 N, 132°-08'.0 E). In the Sea of Hyuga, when the current direction is northward in the northern part, it is southward in the southern part, and when it is southward in the northern part, it is northward in the southern part.}, pages = {189--200}, title = {Sea Surface Temperature and Surface Current in the East of Kyusyu and in the Seto Inland Sea on May of 1987}, volume = {36}, year = {} }
