Why is Trichodesmium abundant in the Kuroshio? [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 The genus Trichodesmium is recognized as an abundant and major diazotroph in the Kuroshio, but the reason for this remains unclear. The present study investigated the abundance of Trichodesmium spp. and nitrogen fixation together with concentrations of

The nascent Kuroshio of Lamon Bay [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2014 AbstractA northward flowing current, emanating from the North Equatorial Current (NEC) bifurcation at the Philippine margin, enters Lamon Bay along Luzon's eastern coast. There the NEC tropical water masses merge with subtropical water of the western North Pacific to form the Kuroshio. A northward flowing western boundary current is first observed near

Modulation of internal solitary waves by the Kuroshio in the northern South China Sea
Scientific Reports, 2023 Internal solitary waves (ISWs) in the South China Sea (SCS) are considerably modulated by the background currents. In this study, a three-dimensional high-resolution non-hydrostatic model is configured to investigate how the Kuroshio influences the ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Understanding the spatial patterns of neon flying squid is important for the monitoring and management of fishery resources. Mesoscale eddies and the Kuroshio Extension play important roles in the variation of the fishing ground of Ommastrephes bartramii.

SHIMANTO GEOSYNCLINE AND KUROSHIO PALEOLAND [PDF]
Journal of Physics of the Earth, 1978 The late Mesozoic to early Neogene geosyncline in the Outer zone of Southwest Japan has been studied in detail in the Kii Peninsula by the Research Group for the Shimanto Geosyncline. The existence of the Kuroshio Paleoland to the south of the geosyncline was inferred by various sedimentologic evidences.

Elevated Nutrient Supply Caused by the Approaching Kuroshio to the Southern Coast of Japan
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Although the Kuroshio Current has been well-known for being nutrient poor in its upper layers, it sustains a great biodiversity within its region, including the Kuroshio Extension.

Seasonal and interannual variabilities of mean velocity of Kuroshio based on satellite data
Water Science and Engineering, 2012 Combining sea level anomalies with the mean dynamic topography derived from the geoid of the EGM08 global gravity field model and the CLS01 mean sea surface height, this study examined the characteristics of global geostrophic surface currents and the ...
