A further attempt to study the ethnogenesis of the Tatars belongs to the Indo-Europeans, who were interested in the population of all four uluses (empires) of Chingizids: Khubilai, Chagatai, Khulagu, and Djuchi.
The further study of the ethnogenesis of the Tatars in a narrow sense of the word results in origination of various concepts for their origin.
In the history textbooks, in the scientific research the Kazan Tatars were presented as direct descendants of the sometimes ancient Tatars, sometimes the Mongolo-Tatars, sometimes of the Tartars, sometimes of the Kipchak Khanate Tatars.

Evidence of convection, based on temperature and oxygen, was found at the winter stations 23 (in the cold pool east of the warm eddy) and 61 (southern Tatar Strait).
It was also high in the Tatar Strait region, again offshore of the low salinity coastal waters and ice edge.

We use a more recent estimation of the monthly mean volume transport, reported by Yi (1996), through the Tsushima/Korean Strait with the annual average of 1.3 Sv, a maximum of 2.2 Sv in October, and a minimum of 0.3 Sv in February.

Most of the nearly homogeneous water in the deep part of the basin is called the Japan Sea Proper Water (Moriyasu, 1972) and is of low temperature and low salinity.
The properties of this surface water are generally believed to be determined by the strong wintertime cooling coupled with fresh water input from the Amur River and the melting sea ice in Tatar Strait (Martin and Kawase, 1998).
The LCC flows southward along the Russian coast, beginning at a latitude slightly north of Soya Strait, terminating off Vladivostok (Fig.2), and becoming the North Korean Cold Current (NKCC) after reaching the North Korean coast (Yoon, 1982).

The water which exits the JES through Tsugaru and Soya Straits is considerably fresher than the inflow, but is nevertheless much more saline than the fresh waters found in the North Pacific between Honshu and Hokkaido, and in the Okhotsk Sea.
Outflow from the JES through Soya Strait is even fresher than that through Tsugaru Strait, but still retains high enough salinity that it is the major source of salt for the Okhotsk Sea.
The straits' transports must and will be measured with long time series, but the hydrography will provide synoptic chemistry information which is important for tracking water structures.
