The sound velocity field in a sea area near the Ry ky-gunt is stuidied by accessing generalized digital environm entalmodel data base.The distribution rules about the depth corresponding to the minmial sound velocity value are analyzed particularly.Profile a long the Guntu A rchipelago and profile across Amami-shot are studied to find out the above characteristic variations of them.There are series of conclusions.First,there is a sea area about the north of the Hangzhou Bay coaswtise area where the minmial sound velocity value always appears on the sea sur-face in winter,spring and autumn and steady surface sound channel exists.Along the coast of Zhejiag and Fujian Province,China,in the range of 30 m topography isoline,the minmial sound velocity value appears on the sea surface in summer.Second,seawater mixed very strongly and ascendant flow stood out in the 130 km range of the eastern Okinawa-shot.It lead to that the minmial sound velocity depth value in winter and summer is 400 m greater than that in spring and autumn.
