Between 22 and 25°N, the mean state and variability of the Kuroshio, such as the two paths observed in the trajectories of surface drifters southeast of Taiwan and the branching of the Kuroshio northeast of Taiwan, are well reproduced by the model. Southeast of Taiwan, the Kuroshio is mostly in the top 300 m in the inshore path but extends to 600 m in the offshore path. Northeast of Taiwan, the Kuroshio follows the shelf edge in the East China Sea but may branch along a path south of the Ryukyu Islands. The latter path often meanders southward, and a significant portion of the Kuroshio transport may be diverted to this path. The Kuroshio extends from the coast to 123–123.5°E between 22 and 25°N with currents reaching a depth of 1000 m at some latitudes. The Kuroshio transports averaged over five sections east of Taiwan are 28.4 ± 5.0 Sv and 32.7 ± 4.4 Sv with and without the contribution from the countercurrent, respectively.}, number={C4}, journal={JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-OCEANS}, author={Hsin, Yi-Chia and Wu, Chau-Ron and Shaw, Ping-Tung}, year={2008}, month={Apr} }

 @article{wu_shaw_chao_1999, title={Assimilating altimetric data into a South China Sea model}, volume={104}, ISSN={["2169-9291"]}, DOI={10.1029/1999JC900260}, abstractNote={Sea surface heights from the TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter are assimilated into a three‐dimensional primitive equation model to derive the circulation in the South China Sea. With data assimilation the model resolves not only the basin‐wide circulation but also a dipole off Vietnam and a low/high feature near the Luzon Strait. Mesoscale features are missing in the simulation without data assimilation because of poor resolution in the wind field and inadequate knowledge of the transport through the Luzon Strait. Compared to the case without data assimilation, data assimilation reduces the root mean square error between the simulated and observed sea surface heights by a factor of 2–3. Circulation derived from data assimilation under climatological conditions is contrasted with that during El Niño. In the normal winter of 1993–1994, flow at 50 m depth is strong and cyclonic. Flow at 900 m depth is cyclonic as well. The deep cyclone persists into the following summer. During the 1994–1995 El Niño winter, features in the flow field at 50 m depth either weaken or disappear, and circulation at 900 m depth is anticyclonic. In the summer of 1995 the dipole and the eastward jet off Vietnam at 50 m depth are missing, and the anticyclonic circulation at 900 m depth persists. Temperature at 65 m shows significant warming from fall 1994 to summer 1995. A weakened flow field and warming in the upper ocean are consistent with findings from earlier El Niño events.}, number={C12}, journal={JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-OCEANS}, author={Wu, CR and Shaw, PT and Chao, SY}, year={1999}, month={Dec}, pages={29987–30005} }
