Oceanic memory of tropical cyclones moderates the Kuroshio current [PDF]

Nature Communications
Tropical cyclones (TCs) dramatically disturb the upper ocean and leave subsurface temperature anomalies that persist beyond their lifetimes, representing an oceanic “memory” of TC activity.

Warming and weakening trends of the Kuroshio during 1993–2013

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
Global warming seems leveling off somewhat during 1993–2013 despite increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases. What has happened to the Kuroshio Current system concurrently? Available independent data sets from 1993 to 2013 point to a single answer.

The observation records from whale and dolphin watching inshore of Hualien, eastern Taiwan [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023
The eastern waters of Taiwan have been lacking baseline and research data for several years. This study was initiated by Kuroshio Ocean Education Foundation (KOEF) in collaboration with the Turumoan whale-watching company since 1998, collecting long-term

High species diversity of the soft coral family Xeniidae (Octocorallia, Alcyonacea) in the temperate region of Japan revealed by morphological and molecular analyses [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2019
The soft coral family Xeniidae, commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions, consists of 20 genera and 162 species. To date, few studies on this family have been conducted in Japan, especially at higher latitudes.

Using dual water isotopes to quantify the mixing of water masses in the Pearl River Estuary and the adjacent northern South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The mixing of different water masses is important for local physical and biogeochemical processes as well as for ecosystems in the ocean. In this study, a new dataset of stable water isotopes (δD and δ18O) combined with temperature–salinity profiles was ...

Trade-Off between Sampling Frequency and Duration and Their Influences on the Estimation of Space Use of Japanese Macaques

International Journal of Zoology, 2023
Space use, estimated based on location data, provides fundamental knowledge in the basic and applied ecology of wild animals. There is a trade-off between sampling frequency and duration in location data which are collected from a tracking device ...

The Kuroshio radiocesium stream

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022
The Fukushima accident released short-lived Cs-134 and longer-lived Cs-137 to the ocean. The amount, although substantial, is much less than that produced during the atomic bomb tests 60 years ago. But, the latter has received little attention. Here we found only Cs-137 in waters near the origin of the Kuroshio.

Statistical Characteristics and Composite Environmental Conditions of Explosive Cyclones over the Japan Sea and Kuroshio/Kuroshio Extension

Atmosphere, 2021
Statistical characteristics and composite synoptic-scale environmental conditions of explosive cyclones (ECs) over the Japan Sea and Kuroshio/Kuroshio Extension are examined and compared using ERA5 atmospheric reanalysis to give a better understanding of

Xenia konohana sp. nov. (Cnidaria, Octocorallia, Alcyonacea), a new soft coral species in the family Xeniidae from Miyazaki, Japan [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2022
A new soft coral species, Xenia konohana sp. nov. (Alcyonacea, Xeniidae), is described from Miyazaki in the warm-temperate region of Japan. This new species has conspicuous and unique spindle sclerites in addition to the simple ellipsoid platelet-shaped ...

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.
