	NRL - Remote Wind Connections to Strait Transports
		The adjoint is a method that provides the derivative of a model output (such as the transport through the strait) with respect to the model inputs (such as the wind forcing).
		The physical mechanism connecting the regions of wind influence to the strait transport is the propagation of oceanic Kelvin waves.
		The transport through the Korea Strait is most sensitive to the wind stress across the area east of the Korea peninsula and less sensitive to the area south of the strait.

		The strong northeastward current core through the southern section lies approximately in the center of the strait, and small southwestward flows occur sporadically near both the Korea and Japan coasts.
		Much of the flow through the northern line occurs near the Korea and Japan coasts, with a weak southwestward mean flow and large variability in the strait center on the leeside of Tsushima Island.
		The gradual transport increase through the summer is carried through the center of the southern line and on the Korea side of the strait through the northern line.
