Popis:	Currents and eddies in the Sea of Japan are investigated on the basis of shipboard multiyear averaged hydrologic measurements over 1925–2005 and satellite images over 1988–2002. The schemes of geostrophic currents are constructed and the positions of quasi-stationary eddies on the sea surface are determined. It is shown that eddy formations are concentrated along jets of the main currents. A construction of the scheme of surface currents with consideration for eddies is attempted.
