Long-term in-situ pressure gauge data and nearby tide gauge data collected at locations affected by the Kuroshio are examined. The major tidal components can be removed from the in-situ pressure data by calculating the moving average for one-month or longer. An anomalously high sea level was observed from 2004 to 2005 by the tide gauges and is attributable to the warm water intrusion into the Sagami Bay caused by the Kuroshio large meander. Meanwhile, the warm water contributed little to the pressure change. No significant influence of the large meander was identified in the data of the in-situ pressure gauge and the tide gauge at Murotomisaki, where the horizontal displacement of the Kuroshio current path was small.
