The interrelation between the Kuroshio and the current of South China Sea (SCS) has been studied based on the results given by a Pacific circulation model. The results show that in the southern Bashi Channel (BC), some water of the Kuroshio enters SCS during most part of a year, a part of the water moves anticyclonlcally and comes back into the Kuroshio again; another part flows westward (W-ward) together with the north flank of the cyclonic eddy in the northern SCS. In June, this cyclonic eddy is absent, the water entering SCS only flows anticyclonicaUy and feeds into the Pacific, the W-ward current is not visible. Apart from the cases in September and October, there always exists a ridge corresponding to a high surface elevation which stretches into SCS through BC. Some water flows along the isopleth of the ridge, so the flowing path presents an anticyclonical meander In September and October, the ridge does not spread into SCS due to the Kuroshio shifting northeastward, there is also no current movin
