Abstract
Abstract An estimate of the geoid across the Kuroshio Extension at its separation point from Japan is calculated through an analysis of coincident sea surface measurements from inverted echo sounders (IESs) and Topex/Poseidon (T/P). The IESs were positioned along a T/P descending ground track in the vicinity of 35°N, 143°E. This geoid section can be used in conjunction with altimeter data to estimate total sea surface height. Thus, Kuroshio position, surface geostrophic velocity, and transport along the section can be continuously monitored.
