| Research Abstract |
Suitable places for ocean current power generation in the East China Sea and the southern region of Honshu, Japan were examined using the data of observation and numerical simulation of current velocity of the Kuroshio. As a result, the Tokara Strait is shown to be one of the suitable places for ocean power generation, using the strong current of the Kuroshio. Moreover, it is found that the Kuroshio flows with a speed greater than 0.8m/s above 60m depth north of Kuchino-shima and south of Nakano-shima Islands.
