Determination of Transport

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.
