Phytoplankton growth and consumption by microzooplankton stimulated by turbulent nitrate flux suggest rapid trophic transfer in the oligotrophic Kuroshio [PDF]
The Kuroshio Current has been thought to be biologically unproductive because of its oligotrophic conditions and low plankton standing stocks. Even though vulnerable life stages of major foraging fishes risk being entrapped by frontal eddies and meanders

Data assimilation in the low noise regime with application to the Kuroshio
On-line data assimilation techniques such as ensemble Kalman filters and particle filters lose accuracy dramatically when presented with an unlikely observation.

Observing mesoscale eddy effects on mode-water subduction and transport in the North Pacific. [PDF]
While modelling studies suggest that mesoscale eddies strengthen the subduction of mode waters, this eddy effect has never been observed in the field.

The nascent Kuroshio of Lamon Bay [PDF]
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

Paleohydrography of the Kuroshio-Kuroshio Extension based on fossil diatoms
The hydrographic history of the Kuroshio-Kuroshio Extension system east off Honshu during 200 thousand years was reconstructed based on high-resolution records of fossil diatoms in three cores recovered from the area beneath the Kuroshio Warm Core. The influences of the terrestrial environments are implicated in the fluctuations in number of diatom ...

A hybrid deep learning model for predicting the Kuroshio path south of Japan
At present, many prediction models based on deep learning methods have been widely used in ocean prediction with satisfactory results. However, few deep learning models are used to predict the Kuroshio path south of Japan.
