Circulations on isopycnals (σθ) in the western North Pacific were investigated by using P-vector method; the data were taken from the U.S. Navy’s climatological temperature and salinity dataset (public domain) with 1/2°×1/2° resolution. Results not only show the main circulation systems on isopycnals in the western North Pacific such as the North Equatorial Current (NEC), Kuroshio and Ku-roshio Countercurrent, but also reveal the Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) clearly. In this note we pay attention to discussing the distribution of STCC in summer (in June). The STCC flows eastward along a winding road; on shallow isopycnals, the STCC originates from the area east of Bashi Strait at about 122.5°E; with the isopycnals increasing, the origin and flow core of STCC move to north and east, but the main part of STCC is still between 18?and 23.5°N, i.e. near the Tropic of Cancer. There exists STCC on all isopycnals between the sea surface and 25.8σθ.The current vectors of STCC on isopycnals are shown Circulations on isopycnals (σθ) in the western North Pacific were investigated by using P-vector method; the data were taken from the US Navy’s climatological temperature and salinity dataset (public domain) with 1/2 ° × 1/2 ° resolution. not only show the main circulation systems on isopycnals in the western North Pacific such as the North Equatorial Current (NEC), Kuroshio and Ku-roshio Countercurrent, but also reveal the Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) clearly.
