Ventilation of the North Pacific subtropical pycnocline and mode water formation

Progress in Oceanography, 2008
Abstract The annual subduction rate of the North Pacific was calculated based on isopycnally averaged hydrographic climatology (HydroBase), high-resolution winter mixed-layer climatology (NWMLC), and various wind stress climatologies from ship reports, numerical weather prediction products, and satellite products.

The Subtropical Mode Water Circulation in the North Pacific

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1995
Abstract Historical hydrographic data are analyzed to investigate the seasonal variation of the subsurace pycnostad in the northwestern part of the North Pacific and to relate it to the circulation of subtropical mode water (STMW). A gyre-scale scheme of STMW circulation is deduced based on its observed climatological formation area and climatological ...

The Subtropical Mode Waters of the South Pacific Ocean

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1992
Abstract The subtropical mode waters (STMW) of the southwestern Pacific Ocean are described, including their physical characteristics, spatial distribution, and temporal variability. STMW is a thermostad, or minimum in stratification, having temperatures of about 15°–19°C and vertical temperature gradient less than about 2°C per 100 m. Typical salinity

The Ventilated Pool: A Model of Subtropical Mode Water

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2005
Abstract An analytical model of subtropical mode water is presented, based on ventilated thermocline theory and on numerical solutions of a planetary geostrophic basin model. In ventilated thermocline theory, the western pool is a region bounded on the east by subsurface streamlines that outcrop at the western edge of the interior, and ...

Chaotic variability of the North Atlantic Subtropical Mode Water

2022
<p>Following the recommendations of CMIP6, some climate models have for the first time started using a resolution of 1/4° for their oceanic component. This is significant, as it means that large eddies are resolved (so-called eddy-permitting models), introducing chaotic variability in oceanic models.

Subtropical Mode Water in the 137°E Section

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1989
Abstract The subtropics mode water (STMW) in the North Pacific Ocean has been investigated based on the data of long-term observations along the 137°E meridian, which have been performed by the Japan Meteorological Agency since 1967 for winter and since 1972 for summer.

Subtropical mode water

Deep Sea Research and Oceanographic Abstracts, 1969
Abstract Nearly isothermal water between the upper thermocline and the main thermocline in the subtropical North Pacific Ocean makes a temperature-salinity mode in the volume distribution. The water is the same as the so-called 18°C Water in the North Atlantic. The name Subtropical Mode Water is proposed for this water type.

On the influence of Subtropical Mode Water on the South Atlantic Ocean

Journal of Marine Systems, 2018
Abstract We investigate the spatiotemporal variability of the source water masses (i.e., varieties of Subtropical Mode Water – STMW) that contribute to the South Atlantic Central Water (SACW) in the South Atlantic Ocean. Thus, the composition of the SACW layer is updated. For this investigation, we applied an optimum multiparameter (OMP) analysis and

The South Pacific Subtropical Mode Water in the Tasman Sea

Journal of Ocean University of China, 2007
From the synopical CTD sections in the WOCE PR11 repeated cruises, the South Pacific Subtropical Mode Water (SPSTMW) has been identified in the region of the Tasman Front Extension (TFE) around 29’S to the east of Australia. In the depth range of 150–250m, the SPSTMW appears as a thermostad with vertical temperature gradient lower than 1.6°C (100 m)−1 ...

Subtropical Mode Water as an acoustic waveguide at the Gulf Stream

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
In this work, we describe the distribution and variation of subsurface acoustic ducts formed by North Atlantic Subtropical Mode Water in the region where the Gulf Stream encounters the New England Seamount chain. High-resolution observations were obtained during two cruises (November 2022 and May/June 2023) from ships and teams of up to seven gliders ...
