Subtropical Mode Water south of Japan impacts typhoon intensity. [PDF]

Sci Adv, 2023
Subtropical Mode Water (STMW), characterized by vertically uniform temperature of ~17°C, is distributed horizontally over 5000 kilometers at the 100- to 500-meter depths in the subtropical North Pacific Ocean. Its formation and spreading fluctuate in relation to the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and the Kuroshio path variation, but the feedback from STMW

Cold- versus warm-season-forced variability of the Kuroshio and North Pacific subtropical mode water [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
The ocean responds to atmospheric variations. Changes in sea surface winds, surface air temperature, and surface air humidity cause upper ocean variability by modulating air-sea momentum and heat exchanges. Upper ocean variability in the mid-latitudes on

Indian Ocean Subtropical Mode Water: its water characteristics and spatial distribution [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2010
We have improved a basic description (water characteristics and spatial distribution) of the Indian Ocean Subtropical Mode Water (IOSTMW) using an isopycnally averaged three-dimensional hydrographic dataset.

Storage and redistribution of anthropogenic CO2 in the western North Pacific: The role of subtropical mode water transportation [PDF]

Fundamental Research
Oceanic uptake and storage of anthropogenic CO2 (CANT) are regulated by ocean circulation and ventilation. To decipher the storage and redistribution of CANT in the western North Pacific, where a major CANT sink develops, we investigated the water column

Volumetric Characterization of the South Atlantic Subtropical Mode Water Types

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
AbstractTime series (2002–2018) of a global monthly objectively analyzed fields of temperature and salinity were used to investigate the South Atlantic subtropical mode water (SASTMW). It is characterized as homogeneous layers in the temperature range of 13 to 16 °C and with low potential vorticity.

Subtropical Contribution to Sub‐Antarctic Mode Waters [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
AbstractSub‐Antarctic Mode Waters (SAMW) form to the north of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) through deep winter mixing. SAMW connect the atmosphere with the oceanic pycnocline, transferring heat and carbon into the ocean interior and supplying nutrients to the northern ocean basins.

Thermostad Distribution in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre: The Central Mode Water and the Subtropical Mode Water

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1997
Abstract The upper thermal structure of the midlatitude North Pacific is studied with the use of all the bathythermograph data compiled in the global ocean temperature and salinity profiles released by the National Oceanographic Data Center. Climatological temperature data are prepared for each 2.5° × 5° (latitude × longitude) rectangle.

Effects of Ocean Chlorophyll on the Mode Water Subduction Rate in the Northwestern and Central Pacific Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The effects of ocean chlorophyll on the mode water subduction rate in the subtropical mode water (STMW) and central mode water (CMW) in Pacific Ocean are investigated by performing two ocean-only experiments, using two different solar radiation ...
