Dynamic Structure of the Kuroshio South of Kyushu in Relation to the Kuroshio Path Variations
Journal of Oceanography, 2003The variation of velocity and potential vorticity (PV) of the Kuroshio at the PN line in the East China Sea and the TK line across the Tokara Strait were examined in relation to the path variations of the Kuroshio in the southern region of Japan, using quarterly data from a conductivity-temperature-depth profiler and a shipboard acoustic Doppler ...

Abstract A barotropic ocean model is used to study the bimodal behavior of the Kuroshio to the south of Japan. By considering the combined effects of the beta plane, the Kyushu coastal perturbation, the Izu Ridge and the SW-NE tilted coastline, the two frequently observed meander patterns have been numerically verified as the two quasi-steady solutions

Salps compete with krill for phytoplankton } in poor sea ice years salp numbers are increased and krill recruitment is reduced. Further north in their range, E. superba abundance is dependent on the transport of krill in the ocean currents as well as Suctuations in the strength of particular cohorts.

Variations of the Kuroshio Axis South of Kyushu in Relation to the Large Meander of the Kuroshio
Journal of Oceanography, 2002The characteristics of the Kuroshio axis south of Kyushu, which meanders almost sinusoidally, are clarified in relation to the large meander of the Kuroshio by analyzing water temperature data during 1961–95 and sea level during 1984–95. The shape of the Kuroshio axis south of Kyushu is classified into three categories of small, medium, and large ...

Abstract The characteristic surface structure at the northern front of the Kuroshio and the Kuroshio Extension is described with the use of thermal images from NOAA satellites, in one case combined with hydrographic observation. The description is based principally on a structure in which warm water of the Kuroshio or the Kuroshio Extension and ...

Surface Mooring Network in the Kuroshio Extension
IEEE Systems Journal, 2008As a contribution to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is developing surface moorings that carry a suite of field-proven and cost-effective sensors to monitor air-sea heat, moisture, and momentum fluxes, carbon dioxide uptake, and upper ocean temperature, salinity, and currents ...

Abstract The characteristic features of a Kuroshio anticyclonic eddy generated during July 1971 are presented for comparison with similar features of Gulf Stream anticyclonic eddies. Their shapes are either elliptical or circular; they are found in the same latitudes of about 38–40N; the warm anticyclonic eddy is surrounded by a sharp thermal front ...

Surface current measurements with GEK during the period from 1960 to 1962 in the region south of Japan have been analyzed statistically. Characteristics of the meander for the west of 138‡E are found to be different from those for the east: the surface current speed is higher and the current path is more stable in the west of 138‡E.

This big-picture narrative of modern Japan embeds the archipelago's history in its maritime context. Foregrounding the Kuroshio Current in the Pacific, Jonas Rüegg demonstrates how currents, winds, and animals created a dynamic context to economic, intellectual, and geopolitical reinventions of Japan over the past four centuries.
