Nitrospina-like Bacteria Are Dominant Potential Mercury Methylators in Both the Oyashio and Kuroshio Regions of the Western North Pacific [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2021
Highly neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg) accumulates in marine organisms, thereby negatively affecting human and environmental health. Recent studies have revealed that oceanic prokaryotes harboring the hgcAB gene pair are involved in Hg methylation ...

A Contrast of the Monsoon–Tropical Cyclone Relationship between the Western and Eastern North Pacific

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2022
The monsoon and tropical cyclone (TC) are principal components of global climate variability. The relationship between the monsoon intensity and the TC genesis frequency (TCGF) in different major monsoon regions has not been fully studied.

Deep water pathways in the North Pacific Ocean revealed by Lagrangian particle tracking

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Lagrangian particle tracking experiments are conducted to investigate the pathways of deep water in the North Pacific Ocean. The flow field is taken from a state-of-the-art deep circulation simulation.

Seasonal cycles of surface layer salinity in the Pacific Ocean [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Science, 2010
The seasonal variability of surface layer salinity (SLS) is examined in the Pacific Ocean between 40° S and 60° N using a variety of data sources. Significant seasonal cycles were found in 5 regions: 1) The western North Pacific, 2) The northeastern ...

Covariability of western tropical Pacific-North Pacific atmospheric circulation during summer [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2015
AbstractNorth Pacific subtropical high (NPSH) is permanent high-pressure system over the Northern Pacific Ocean and it extends to the western North Pacific during the boreal summer (June-July-August), which is so called the western North Pacific subtropical high (WNPSH).

The Lagged Effect of Anthropogenic Aerosol on East Asian Precipitation during the Summer Monsoon Season

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2020
The authors investigated the lagged effect of anthropogenic aerosols (AAs) during the premonsoon season (April–May–June) on the East Asian precipitation during the postmonsoon season (July–August) using the aerosol optical depth (AOD) from a satellite ...

Investigating the Characteristics of Tropical Cyclone Size in the Western North Pacific from 1981 to 2009

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2023
Tropical cyclone (TC) size is an important parameter for estimating TC risks, such as precipitation distribution, gale-force wind damage, and storm surge.

How has the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation affected peak season tropical cyclone genesis over the western North Pacific from 1965 to 2020?

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2022
The North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO) is an important mode of decadal variability in North Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface height.

Trends in western North Pacific tropical cyclone intensity [PDF]

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2006
Using the tropical cyclone best track data from the U.S. Department of Defense's Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), Webster et al. [2005] found that between the two consecutive 15‐year periods of 1975–1989 and 1990‐2004, the percentage of typhoons in the western North Pacific meeting the definition of categories 4 and 5 on the Saffir‐Simpson ...
