Abstract Hormuz salt formation is considered the origin of the evaporated salt deposits in the Zagros and its ductile behavior has been known as the reason for the inhomogeneous deformation in the Zagros. However, our knowledge about this formation has been limited to the salt domes on the surface.

Forcing Mechanisms Associated With the Destructive Record‐High 2008 Ocean Wave in Toyama Bay
Abstract Swells can cause coastal hazards. A unique example of such hazards is the Yorimawari‐Nami (YM‐wave) events that have been observed once every few years in Toyama Bay in the Japan Sea. Based on coastal in situ observations and hindcast simulations of ocean waves, the forcing mechanism for the record‐high 2008 YM‐wave event is investigated ...

Abstract Frazil ice in the coastal polynyas has been increasingly recognized as important for efficient sea ice production, associated dense water formation, transport of particulate matter and consequent biological production. However, it has not been well understood where and to what degree active‐frazil areas occur in the Northern Hemisphere ...

Tidally Driven Mixing “Hot Spot” at the Entrance of the Japan/East Sea
Abstract Mixing at the southwestern boundary of the Ulleung Basin (UB) in the Japan/East Sea was examined using combined ship‐based, moored, and quasi‐autonomous observations. These observations revealed strong tidal currents, high‐frequency internal wave packets, and energetic turbulence over the sill connecting the Korea/Tsushima Strait and the UB ...

New Constraints for the On‐Shore Makran Subduction Zone Crustal Structure
Abstract The Makran Subduction Zone is the primary seismic/tsunami hazard of the northwestern Indian Ocean, but little is known of its on‐shore seismic structure. We derived a shear wave velocity model extending to 100 km depth beneath a ∼400 km‐long seismic profile oriented parallel to the convergence vector of the Arabian Sea Plate. Receiver function/

ABSTRACT Aim The Ocean is the major carrier of energy storage of the earth and is greatly affected by climate change and human activities. The spotted seal (Phoca largha) is a national first‐class protected species in China and is the only pinniped species that breeds in China waters.
