Japan/East Sea Intrathermocline Eddies

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2002
Abstract Intrathermocline eddies (ITE) with diameters of 100 km and of thickness greater than 100 m are observed within each of the three quasi-stationary meanders of the Tsushima Current of the Japan/East Sea. Within the ITE homogenous, anticyclonic flowing core, the temperature is near 10°C with a salinity of 34.12 psu.

The Sea of Japan

2013
The Dokdo/Takeshima dispute has remained a major irritant in Japan-Korea relations, preventing a deepening of diplomatic ties. Nationalism and the quest for natural resources have, in the context of the Dokdo/ Takeshima issue, been locked in a complex relationship.

226Ra in the Japan Sea and the residence time of the Japan Sea water

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1986
Abstract The surface water of the Japan Sea contained 226 Ra of 70 ± 4dpm m −3 which was nearly equal to that of the surface water in the North Pacific. The concentration of 226 Ra in the Japan Sea deep water below 500 m was 151 ± 8dpm m −3 , showing a vertically and regionally small variation.

Variability of Sea Surface Circulation in the Japan Sea

Journal of Oceanography, 2001
Composite sea surface dynamic heights (CSSDH) are calculated from both sea surface dynamic heights that are derived from altimetric data of ERS-2 and mean sea surface that is calculated by a numerical model. The CSSDH are consistent with sea surface temperature obtained by satellite and observed water temperature.

Tritium in the Japan Sea and the renewal time of the Japan Sea deep water

Marine Chemistry, 1991
Watanabe, Y.W., Watanabe, S. and Tsunogai, S., 1991. Tritium in the Japan Sea and the renewal time of the Japan Sea deep water. Mar. Chem., 34: 97-108. In 1987 in the Japan Sea, the mean concentration of tritium below 200 m depth was !.2 T.U. (Tritium Unit= 10 ~8 times of the molar fraction of tritium in ordinary hydrogen (T/H X 10 iS) ), which was one

Japan and Sea Power

1996
One of the leading naval studies in Japanese uses as its translation of sea power the word ‘Shi-paa-waa’. That is, because there is no appropriate word, it chooses to use the English word in an obscure Japanese version. I believe that this is of more than passing interest.

The Air-Sea Exchange of CO2 in the East Sea (Japan Sea)

Journal of Oceanography, 1999
During CREAMS expeditions, fCO2 for surface waters was measured continuously along the cruise tracks. The fCO2 in surface waters in summer varied in the range 320–440 µatm, showing moderate supersaturation with respect to atmospheric CO2. In winter, however, fCO2 showed under-saturation of CO2 in most of the area, while varying in a much wider range ...

The Japan Sea: A Changing Pacific Asian Marginal Sea

2020
The Japan Sea includes its own deep-water formation mechanics and a thermohaline circulation system similar to those of the Mediterranean Sea. Long-term trends of warming and decreasing oxygen concentration owing to global warming have been reported in the deep water of the Japan Sea. Although the minimum oxygen decrease rate of about 1000 m suggests a

The tectonics of the Japan Sea

Marine Geology, 1979
Abstract The geological data on regions surrounding the deep-sea basins of the Japan Sea suggest that geosynclinal systems were emplaced as ensimatic geosynclines in Early Paleozoic and Precambrian times. Thus, the general crustal structure of this region has been developing from this time as a result of the irreversible geosynclinal processess of ...
