Kuroshio Extension
The volume transport of the Kuroshio Extension was computed for a region of 2 ° latitude
centered at the maximum value of transport.
Northern Branch
Since the Northern Branch is centered near the latitude where 9°C is at
250 m depth, its volume transport was computed similarly to that of the
Kuroshio Extension but centered at the location of a transport maximum
where 9°C was between 150 and 350 m depth.
