Objectives and Brief Narrative of Cruise:
     Object : As a part of Kuroshio EXPLOITATION AND UTILIZATION RESEARCH (KER), this
     observation aims to investigate the stracture of ocean circuration at the subtroical
     region in the western pacific ocean.
     (A) Surface current observation by ADCP.
     (B) Measurement of the density of carbonic acid gas.
     (C) Measurement of water temperature at surface layer by XBT.
     (D) Measurement of water temperature and salinity by using CTD system and chenical
     analysis of sea water for nutrient matter.
     (E) Wave observation by shipborne analyzer.
     (F) Mooring system deployment of under water.
     (G) Deployment of ARGOS buoys (Drifting buoys).
