EKWC, western branch of TC north of the Tsushima/Korea Strait, acts as a
western boundary current and has a strong seasonal variability. At 37
N, the EKWC v-velocity component, which is practically the direction of the
current on that position, varies from 0.30 m/s in winter to 0.42 m/s in summer
(Fig. 5). The width of EKWC is around 60 km all year round. However, the depth
is around 1,400 m in the summer and 800 m in the winter.
