Existing Diagnostic Methods for Determination of Volume Transport
• From (T, S) Data – Total Geostrophic Flow (Reid 1985, 1994, …)
• Top 500 m Transport From (T, S) and Wind Data – Sverdrup Model (Godfrey 1989)

• Minimum circuit method is effective for determining streamfunction at islands
• Annual and monthly mean global volume transport data are useful for coastal modeling
