Abstract

Overview of studies on some cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies is made in the East China Sea and the region east of the Ryukyu Islands.In the continental shelf above 200 m level in the East China Sea (ECS),we discuss mainly an antti-cy clonic eddy in southwestern part of the ECS,a cyclonic mesoscale eddy southwest of Cheju Island and a cyclonic eddy northeast of Changjiang.In the region near continental slope and both sides of the Kuroshio in the ECS,there are some mesoscale eddies with the different scales,and one of their dynamical causes maybe due to the Kuroshio meander in the ECS.The second dynamical causes are related to the topographic relief and existence of Ryukyu Islands.There are two types of the meanders of the Kuroshio in the ECS:the Kuroshio front meander and the Kuroshio path meander.For the Kuroshio front meander,their time and space scales and the structure of the Kuroshio frontal eddy are reviewed.For the Kuroshio path meander,we discuss the mesoscalecy clonic and anticy clonic eddies on both sides of the Kuroshio and the variability of their character.Especially,we discuss with emphasis the interaction between the Kuroshio path meander and the mesoscale eddy,and point out that the following fact.When the growing cyclonic eddy in the northern Okinawa Trough dominates variability at periods of 1~3 months and its scale grows to about 200 km corresponding to the zonal scale grows to about Okinaw a Trough,the Kuroshio path translates from the northern path to southern one.We also review the interaction between the volume transport of the Kuroshio in the ECS and the mesoscale eddy.In the regions east and south of the Ryukyu Islands,there are some mesoscale cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies with different scales,and the variability of their character is also reviewed.
