Investigation of Environmental Change Pattern in Japan: Multidisciplinary Application of LANDSAT-2 Data to Marine Environment in Central Japan [PDF]
The author has identified the following significant results. The multidisciplinary application of multispectral scanner data acquired over central Japan revealed several coastal features including pollution, river effluent, shorelines, red tide, etc ...

The Intensifying East China Sea Kuroshio and Disappearing Ryukyu Current in a Warming Climate
The East China Sea Kuroshio (ECS‐Kuroshio) and the Ryukyu Current are the major poleward heat carriers in the North Pacific. Anomalous changes of ECS‐Kuroshio and Ryukyu Current could exert substantial influence on the climate in mid‐latitude regions ...

Intrusion of the Kuroshio into the South and East China Seas
The northward-flowing Kuroshio often intrudes westward and modulates the water masses of the South and East China Seas. These intrusions transcend multiple scales in time and space, which we demonstrate here using various independent data sets. There are

The hidden geometry of ocean flows
We introduce a new global Lagrangian descriptor that is applied to flows with general time dependence (altimetric datasets). It succeeds in detecting simultaneously, with great accuracy, invariant manifolds, hyperbolic and non-hyperbolic flow regions ...

Quantifying Eulerian Eddy Leakiness in an Idealized Model [PDF]
An idealized eddy‐resolving ocean basin, closely resembling the North Pacific Ocean, is simulated using MITgcm. We identify rotationally coherent Lagrangian vortices (RCLVs) and sea surface height (SSH) eddies based on the Lagrangian and Eulerian ...

Revisiting the distribution and total amount of nitrogen fixation across the Kuroshio
The Kuroshio Current, a western boundary current in the North Pacific Ocean, is regarded as a hotspot of nitrogen fixation that drives marine primary productivity and biogeochemical cycles.
