calculated from the magnitudes of these perturbations over a definite time
are in line with those of other investigators.
The spills of wastewater, and probably, the special-purpose man-made
slicks, timed with satellite and airborne SAR observations, can be used to
reveal and study the mesoscale and fine scale features of surface currents
in this highly variable Kuroshio area during different seasons as well as in
other dynamic oceanic areas.

This research was partly supported by the National
Science Council under grant NSC-87-2811-m-008-0018. The authors wish
to thank Maia Mitnik for processing the data on oil spreading (Figure 8).
The ERS-1/2 SAR images collected by ESA satellites were received and
processed by the Taiwan Ground Station.
