The hidden geometry of ocean flows

, 2010
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 ...

Program Studies the Kuroshio Extension [PDF]

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2008
The Kuroshio Extension system links to North Pacific climate through its role in subtropical‐subpolar exchange, the formation and distribution of mode waters, and the intensification of the extratropical storm track across the North Pacific. The Kuroshio Extension System Study (KESS) offers a window into these processes through integrated measurements ...

Multiproxy reconstruction for Kuroshio responses to northern hemispheric oceanic climate and the Asian Monsoon since Marine Isotope Stage 5.1 (∼88 ka) [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2014
The Kuroshio, a western boundary current in the northwestern Pacific, plays a key role in regulating ocean and climate in East Asia. The evolution of the Kuroshio and its branches has been the focus of paleoceanographic studies. In this study, we applied

Kuroshio in the Luzon Strait [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2008
Three acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) were deployed in the central Luzon Strait to monitor current velocity. The profilers were deployed from 1997 to 1999, with the duration of deployment varying by location. The observed current velocities indicated that the Kuroshio flowed consistently into the South China Sea. Further information provided

Spatial variations in the Kuroshio nutrient transport from the East China Sea to south of Japan [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2013
Based on absolute geostrophic velocity, which was calculated using repeated hydrographic data of 39 cruises from 2000 to 2009 and nitrate concentrations measured in the same areas from 1964 to 2009, we obtained the temporally averaged nitrate flux (the ...

Physical Mechanisms Governing the Response of Oceanic pCO2 in the Northern South China Sea to Tropical Cyclones

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the response characteristics of oceanic pCO2 in different regions of the Northern South China Sea (NSCS) to tropical cyclone genesis frequency (TCF) on interannual timescale, and clarifies the response mechanisms. Results show that reduced Sea Surface Temperature (SST) induced by TCs suppresses pCO2 in the northwestern ...

A Submesoscale Cascade‐Driven Mesoscale Seasonal Cycle in the Subtropics

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract We show that the submesoscale inverse cascade almost entirely drives the mesoscale kinetic energy (KE) seasonal cycle in the interior subtropical gyre. Using a coarse‐graining framework to diagnose cross‐scale energy fluxes (Πh ${{\Pi }}_{h}$), we show the forward cascade remains confined to <20 km within the mixed layer, peaking January–March.

Role of North Pacific Sea Surface Temperatures in Linking Summer Beaufort Sea Ice to Preceding‐Winter ENSO

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Interannual variability of the Beaufort Sea (BFS) ice notably affects the oceanic circulation, pelagic and sympagic ecosystems, and navigation activities. However, key physical pathways regulating interseasonal connections between the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and BFS ice concentration anomalies in early‐summer (May–July) remain ...
