		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.
