 note = {application/pdf, The Kuroshio south of Japan shows a clear bimodal path characteristic between large meander path
and no large meander path. It has been pointed out by many studies that the volume transport of the
Kuroshio is an important parameter which controls the selection of the bimodal Kuroshio path. However,
a clear relationship between the intersity of volume transport and the selection of the Kuroshio path has
been not clarified yet. From these view points, we have made hydrographic observations of the Kuroshio
south of Japan over the period of 1983-1988. In this report, we present the basic data of geostrophic
volume transport referred to 1500 db and the volume transport observed by suspended current meter from
the vessel. It is shown that there exists a remarkable variation in volume transport. The geostrophic
transport is relatively larger in period of no large meander (70.5±9.8 Sv) than that in large meander (61.8±20.0 Sv. The largest transport is observed during the transition period from no meander path to large
meander path in winter of 1986., 日本南岸の黒潮は大蛇行流路と非大蛇行流路との間で明確な二様性を示す。従来の多くの研究から黒潮流量が流路
