Results are presented from continuous current measurements across Korea-Tsu
shima Strait between May and October 1999. The data are from eleven bottom-
mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers that recorded full-depth profile
s of currents along two lines, one at each end of the Strait. The two secti
ons show markedly different mean flow regimes. At the southern entrance, th
e cross-section flow varies smoothly across the channel, showing a broad ma
ximum at mid-channel. The northern section is marked by strong spatial vari
ability but in the mean consists of two streams, one on each side of the st
rait. Between the two is a regime of highly variable flow with a weak mean,
presumably indicating the wake from Tsushima Island. Flow variability in t
ime is described by statistical measures and by representative snapshots.
