Abstract The variations of the Kuroshio Current path and their relations with current velocity, volume transport, and upstream position of the Kuroshio are examined using sea level data. After the long-time, non-large-meander (NLM) path during 1963–75, the Kuroshio takes a large-meander (LM) path during most of 1975–91: 1975–80, 1981–84, 1986–88, and 1989–91. The study of these meanders confirms the description of the path of the Kuroshio based on the three typical paths and the transitions between them, with an exception being the 1981–84 LM path. The formation and decay of the large meander are associated with velocity and position of the Kuroshio in the Tokara Strait south of Kyushu. A small meander, precursor of the large meander, seems to be formed southeast of Kyushu in relation with a temporary increase of Kuroshio velocity and a northward shift of the Kuroshio in the Tokara Strait. An eastward propagation of the small meander, leading to the LM formation, is associated with remaining in the northe...
