Subtropical Mode Water and Permanent Pycnocline Properties in the World Ocean [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2019
AbstractA global reference state of the subtropical mode water and permanent pycnocline properties for the 2000–2015 period is presented. The climatology is obtained from a pattern recognition algorithm applied to stratification profiles from the Argo global array.

Subtropical mode water variation in the northwestern part of the North Pacific subtropical gyre [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2000
Temporal variations of the North Pacific subtropical mode water (NPSTMW) are studied with the proper temporal resolution for describing seasonal variation using monthly hydrographic data taken near the Ogasawara Islands. NPSTMW is formed south of the Kuroshio and the Kuroshio Extension in late winter and advected to the Ogasawara site by the ...

Comparison Study of Subtropical Mode Waters in the World Ocean [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016
Subtropical Mode Water (STMW) is a distinctive feature of the upper ocean in the western part of subtropical gyres in the world ocean. This paper proposes a common criterion of STMW to quantify and compare spatial structures of STMWs in different basins.

South Pacific Eastern Subtropical Mode Water*

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2003
Abstract The structure, formation, and destruction of South Pacific Eastern Subtropical Mode Water (SPESTMW) are analyzed. Geographic extent and water properties are discussed by using high-quality CTD sections collected between 1991 and 1996. Defined as having a planetary potential vorticity magnitude of less than 3 × 10−10 m−1 s−1, SPESMTW has a ...

Wintertime marine extreme temperature events modulate phytoplankton blooms in the North Pacific through subtropical mode water

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Marine extreme temperature events (METs), including marine heatwaves (MHWs) and cold spells, have recently gained much attention owing to their vital influence on the marine ecosystem and social economy.

Tracking water masses using passive-tracer transport in NEMO v3.4 with NEMOTAM: application to North Atlantic Deep Water and North Atlantic Subtropical Mode Water [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2020
Water mass ventilation provides an important link between the atmosphere and the global ocean circulation. In this study, we present a newly developed, probabilistic tool for offline water mass tracking.

Impact of the reemergence of North Pacific subtropical mode water on the multi-year modulation of marine heatwaves in the North Pacific Ocean during winter and early spring

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
Marine heatwaves (MHWs), which are characterized by extremely warm water, can harm the marine ecosystem and fishing industry; improving the prediction of such events could reduce their harmful impact.

SUBDUCTION OF SOUTH ATLANTIC SUBTROPICAL MODE WATERS

Revista Brasileira de Geofísica, 2013
ABSTRACT. The formation of the Subtropical Mode Waters (STMW) in the South Atlantic, part of the South Atlantic Central Water (SACW), by the subduction process, transferring mixed layer fluid into the permanent thermocline, is investigated using results of numerical simulations with the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM).

Distributions of mixed layer properties in North Pacific water mass formation areas: comparison of Argo floats and World Ocean Atlas 2001 [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2006
Winter mixed layer characteristics in the North Pacific Ocean are examined and compared between Argo floats in 2006 and the World Ocean Atlas 2001 (WOA01) climatology for a series of named water masses, North Pacific Tropical Water (NPTW), Eastern ...
