Stability and Fine Structure of Water Masses in the Kuroshio Frontal Zone

Summary of long term data enabled to identify the fine developed structure stratification zone of inversion type with accurate borders in the region of the subarctic front in the NW Pacific. Statistical characteristics for inversions in different structural zones of this region were defined. All inversions were drew out due to the general orientation of the Kuroshio current. The main features of static and dynamic stabilities of sea water in inversion zone were determined.
