> *Abstract*
> 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.
