Summary:Hydrographic studies show the seasonal variation of the East Korean Warm Current (EKWC), which is a branch of the Tsushima Current along the Korean coast. To understand the dynamics of the branching mechanism of the TC in the Korea Strait, a hydraulic model with two active layers was investigated in a rectangular strait with varying depth.
