High‐Resolution Local Earthquake Tomography Beneath the Zagros Simply Folded Belt (SFB): Implications for an Inhomogeneous Low‐Velocity Layer and Diapirism in the Upper Crust

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
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

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
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 ...

Mapping of Active Frazil and Sea Ice Production in the Northern Hemisphere, With Comparison to the Southern Hemisphere

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 127, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
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

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 49, Issue 18, 28 September 2022., 2022
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

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 127, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
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/

Snailfishes of the Careproctus rastrinus complex (Liparidae): redescriptions of seven species in the North Pacific Ocean region, with the description of a new species from the Beaufort Sea. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Herein we review and recognize as valid all previously described species of the Careproctus rastrinus complex based on morphological evidence, provide diagnoses and descriptions of all species, describe a new species from the Beaufort Sea, and address ...

The Neotethyan Sanandaj-Sirjan zone of Iran as an archetype for passive margin-arc transitions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The Sanandaj-Sirjan zone of Iran is a northwest trending orogenic belt immediately north of the Zagros suture, which represents the former position of the Neotethys Ocean.

Smooth lumpsucker Aptocyclus ventricosus in the northwestern Sea of Japan: distribution and some life history traits

open access: yesArchives of Polish Fisheries, 2018
This paper is focused on horizontal, vertical, and temperature-dependent distributions, size composition of bottom and mid-water trawl catches, and biomass estimations of smooth lumpsucker Aptocyclus ventricosus (Pallas) (Cyclopteridae) within the ...

Search for a heavy Higgs boson decaying to a pair of W bosons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
A search for a heavy Higgs boson in the mass range from 0.2 to 3.0 TeV, decaying to a pair of W bosons, is presented. The analysis is based on proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016 ...

Role of sea ice on satellite-observed chlorophyll-a concentration variations during spring bloom in the East/Japan sea [PDF]

open access: yes
The relationship between the spring bloom along the Primorye coast and the sea ice of the Tatarskiy Strait in the northern region of the East/Japan Sea, a semi-enclosed marginal sea in the North Pacific, was investigated using the ten-year SeaWiFS ...
