• Temporally averaged volume transports of the Kuroshio, south of Japan, were estimated by use of Inverted Echo Sounders and Current Meters. The barotropic and baroclinic modes of the transports were primarily introduced and the corresponding velocity components were defined. Their typical length scales across the Kuroshio of the transports were almost the same of 150 km and the barotropic transport of the Kuroshio was estimated at about 40 Sv. The length scales of the velocity components parallel with the Kuroshio flowing direction were clearly different between the barotropic and baroclinic modes, and they were estimated at 100km and 150km, respectively, though both of the modes were indicating the same features of coastally trapped distributions across the Kuroshio.35
