Effect of larval swimming in the western North Pacific subtropical gyre on the recruitment success of the Japanese eel. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The possible effect of directional larval swimming on the recruitment success of the Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica, was examined with a three-dimensional particle-tracking ocean circulation model using horizontal northwestward swimming and diel ...

The dynamical impact of mesoscale eddies on migration of Japanese eel larvae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 In this study, we explore the dynamical role of mesoscale eddies on fish larvae migration using the example of Subtropical Counter Current eddies and the migration of Japanese eel larvae in the western North Pacific Ocean.

Interannual Modulation of Kuroshio in the East China Sea Over the Past Three Decades
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Previous studies have suggested that westward-migrating mesoscale eddies are a dominant factor that modulate the interannual Kuroshio intensity in the East China Sea (ECS), indicating a close positive correlation between them.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) region has high mesoscale eddy activities due to its complex circulation structure. This study divides these mesoscale eddies into four types: cyclonic cold-core eddy (CCE), anticyclonic warm-core eddy (

Distribution of ultraphytoplankton in the western part of the North Pacific subtropical gyre during a strong La Niña condition: relationship with the hydrological conditions [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 The distribution of ultraphytoplankton was investigated in the western North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) during La Niña, a cold phase of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO).

Impacts of Interannual Ocean Circulation Variability on Japanese Eel Larval Migration in the Western North Pacific Ocean. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The Japanese eel larvae hatch near the West Mariana Ridge seamount chain and travel through the North Equatorial Current (NEC), the Kuroshio, and the Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) region during their shoreward migration toward East Asia.

Decadal variability of Eddy Kinetic Energy in the South Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent in an Ocean General Circulation Model [PDF]
, 2018 The Eddy Kinetic Energy (EKE) associated with the Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) in the western subtropical South Pacific is known to exhibit substantial seasonal and decadal variability. Using an eddy-permitting ocean general circulation model, which

Observed Characteristics and Vertical Structure of Mesoscale Eddies in the Southwest Tropical Pacific [PDF]
, 2018 In the Southwest Pacific Ocean, waters transit from the subtropical gyre before being redistributed equatorward and poleward. While the mean pathways are known, the contribution to the mixing and transport of the water from mesoscale eddies has not been ...
