		Shimono-shima is the southern end of Tsushima Island, which lies in the Korea / Tsushima Straits between the East China Sea to the south and the Sea of Japan to the north, and Korea to the west and mainland Japan to the east.
		Tsushima is the closest Japanese territory to Korea, lying only fifty kilometres from Pusan; on a clear day, the hills and mountains of Korea are visible from higher elevations on the two northern mountains.
		Tsushima was the main naval base for this invasion, and in continuing support of the war, large numbers of Korean labourers were transported to Tsushima until 1603.

		The Tsushima Islands are situated in the Korea Strait between the Japanese island of Kyushu and the Korean Peninsula.
		Archeological evidence suggests that Tsushima was already inhabited by settlers from the Korean peninsula and Japan from the Jomon period to the Kofun period.
		Tsushima Province was controlled by the Tsushima-no-kuni-no-miyatsuko (対馬国造) clan until the Heian Period and then by the Ahiru clan until the middle of the 13th century.

		The strait has a depth of about 90 metres and is split by the Tsushima Islands into the Western Channel and the Tsushima Strait.
		The Tsushima Islands lie to the west center of the Korea Strait, and the broader eastern channel (Tsushima Strait) is bounded to the west by Tsushima and to the east through south-east by Honshu and to the south-south-east by Kyushu.

		Tsushima, which used to be called Sakimori no Shima (Coast Guards' Island), has had strong links with Russia.
		A century ago, the Tsushima Strait, located south off the island, became a stage of the decisive Battle of Tsushima during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905).
		Sandwiched between the Tsushima Strait and Korea Strait, the location of the Tsushima islands played an important role that Takesue called "a strategic point to protect the nation from foreign enemies coming from the continent."

	Summer transport through the Tsushima-Korea Strait
		Transport variations through the Korea-Tsushima Strait are examined from two lines of bottom-moored acoustic doppler current profilers (ADCPs) deployed southwest and northeast of Tsushima Island in May 1999.
		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 generation of Tsushima eddies farther downstream: The objectives are thus to investigate: a) the interaction of a buoyant current with curved boundary; and b) the movement of eddies that are detached from the boundary.

		The importance of the geostrophic control versus hydraulic control [Mattsson, 1995] within the Tsushima Strait is still a widely- debated issue, and the altimeter data in combination with the in situ measurements will aid in answering these questions.
		Within the Korea Strait we intend to use our understanding of the dynamics along with the observations to provide an optimal estimate of the flow.
