Deep countercurrent beneath the Kuroshio in the Okinawa Trough [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2008 The Okinawa Trough is geographically separated into the northern and southern parts by the Kerama Gap, and the northern part is composed of the northern, central and southern subbasins formed by bights of the continental slope. Previous observations have indicated that a deep countercurrent is present beneath the Kuroshio on the continental slope in ...

Imprint of the Quasi‐Biennial Oscillation on the Ionosphere and Thermosphere
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The Quasi‐Biennial Oscillation (QBO) is a dominant mode of stratospheric variability and is known to modulate the variability of the ionosphere‐thermosphere (IT) system. However, the extent of its influence on the ionosphere‐thermosphere system remains uncertain due to weak signals and confounding with similar periodicities in solar flux.

The Effect of Arc Proximity on Hydrothermal Activity Along Spreading Centers: New Evidence From the Mariana Back Arc (12.7°N-18.3°N) [PDF]
, 2017 Back-arc spreading centers (BASCs) form a distinct class of ocean spreading ridges distinguished by steep along-axis gradients in spreading rate and by additional magma supplied through subduction.

Distant Storms Can Affect Seismic Noise Crustal Monitoring
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract Using seismic noise interferometry to monitor the Earth's interior relies on continuous seismic wavefields produced by stable, invariant sources. In numerous applications, this condition is relaxed, arguing that secondary scattering effects render the late coda source independent.

Activated seismicity by strain rate change in the Yaeyama region, south Ryukyu
Earth, Planets and Space, 2018 We evaluated the long-term strain rate by using continuous global navigation satellite system data of GEONET and compared it with seismicity activation between 1996 and 2017 near Iriomote Island, south Ryukyu arc.

Influence of surface tension in the surfactant-driven fracture of closely-packed particulate monolayers [PDF]
, 2017 A phase-field model is used to capture the surfactant-driven formation of fracture patterns in particulate monolayers. The model is intended for the regime of closely-packed systems in which the mechanical response of the monolayer can be approximated as
