The main features of the synoptic and sub- synoptic scale eddy dynamics over the shelf and continental slope in the Northwest Japan Sea are studied based on numerical simulation and data analyses of both satellite infrared images of the sea surface and Argo drifters in the intermediate and deep sea waters. The eddy resolved version of the numerical ocean circulation model developed by N.B. Shapiro and E.N. Mikhaylova at the Marine Hydrophysical Institute, Sevastopol, Ukraine is applied. The conditions of the eddy formation, variations of eddy scale and moving velocity are found. Simulation results are basically confirmed by the analyses of the infrared satellite images and measurements by grifters Argo which are drifting in the intermediate and deep water.
