<b>Abstract</b><br>
his study examines the evolution of the Kuroshio Tropical Water
(KTW) from the Luzon Strait to the I-Lan Ridge northeast of
Taiwan. Historical conductivity temperature depth (CTD) profiles
are analyzed using a method based on the calculation of the root
mean square (rms) difference of the salinity along isopycnals. In
combination with analysis of the distribution of the salinity
maximum, this method enables water masses in the Kuroshio and the
vicinity, to be tracked and distinguished as well as the detection
of the areas where water masses are modified. Vertical and
horizontal eddy diffusivities are then calculated from
hydrographic and current velocity data to elucidate the dynamics
underlying the KTW interactions with the surrounding water masses.
Changes in KTW properties mainly occur in the southern half of the
Luzon Strait, while moderate variations are observed east of
Taiwan on the right flank of the Kuroshio. <br>
