Abstract
The Kuroshio warm-core ring 86B entrained a large amount of warm water in late August 1987, which accompanied a partial coalescence with the offshore neighboring warm-core ring. Observations from mid-August to mid-September caught the hydrographic features before, during and just after the event. The formation process and inward spiraling of the streamer, as well as their effects on the temperature and salinity in the warm-core ring, are described based on the hydrographic data. Satellite thermal images of the warm streamers entrained by WCR 86B indicate that streamers occur about every 20 days or every 40–50 days, with a mean width of about 30 km; they complete one revolution in a week, after which they collapse.
