Inverse calculations using data from 16 repeat hydrographic transects collected from April 2003 to June 2007 have yielded velocity structures and volume transports (VTs) of the Ryukyu Current in the region east of the northern Ryukyu Islands. The inverse calculation results show that the Ryukyu Current is dominated by a subsurface velocity core with maximum velocities from 15.1 to 80.0 cm/s, whose positions vary between 110 and 600 dbar and 27.2A degrees-28.2A degrees N along the transect. The mean velocity exhibits a subsurface velocity core with a maximum value of 24.6 cm/s at 326 dbar depth, a VT of 14.0 Sv (1 Sv a parts per thousand 10(6) m(3)/s), a vertical dimension of 800 m, and a horizontal dimension of 60 km. The seasonal mean velocities show that the Ryukyu Current is stronger in autumn than in other seasons. It is suggested that this seasonal variation is coincident with the intensification of the anticyclonic eddy south of Shikoku, Japan.
