Diagnostic Study of an Extreme Explosive Cyclone over the Kuroshio/Kuroshio Extension Region
Explosive cyclones (ECs) occur frequently over the Kuroshio/Kuroshio Extension region. The most rapidly intensified EC over the Kuroshio/Kuroshio...

Intraseasonal variability of the Kuroshio observed via mooring at 18°N
Insufficient observations near the origin of the Kuroshio have led to incomplete understanding of the intraseasonal variability (ISV) of the...

Analysis of Sea Surface Temperature Cooling in Typhoon Events Passing the Kuroshio Current
The aim of this study is to investigate the sea surface temperature (SST) cooling as typhoons pass the Kuroshio Current. A numerical circulation...

Temporal variation of the 2017 Kuroshio large meander based on repeated surveys along 138°E
During August 2017, the Kuroshio began to follow its large meander (LM) path, and this was 12 years after the last LM event. Such LM events lead to...

Impact of the Kuroshio large meander on local atmospheric circulation and precipitation in winter
The Kuroshio, which flows to the south of Japan, typically takes two paths on decadal timescales; the straight path and the large meander path, or...

Observation of Structure of Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer by Ceilometer Over the Kuroshio Current
Shipboard ceilometer observation was conducted during May 2021 on R/V Shinsei-maru in the southwest region of the middle of Japan to study the...

Subtropical Mode Water in a recent persisting Kuroshio large-meander period: part II—formation and temporal evolution in the Kuroshio recirculation gyre off Shikoku
Since August 2017, the large meander (LM) path of the Kuroshio south of Japan has continued to date for more than five years, with a local Kuroshio...

Study on the interannual variability of the Kerama Gap transport and its relation to the Kuroshio/Ryukyu Current system
An analysis of a 68-year monthly hindcast output from an eddy-resolving ocean general circulation model reveals the relationship between the...

Different ENSO Impacts on Eastern China Precipitation Patterns in Early and Late Winter Associated with Seasonally-Varying Kuroshio Anticyclonic Anomalies
Winter precipitation over eastern China displays remarkable interannual variability, which has been suggested to be closely related to El...

Seasonal modulation of mixed-layer temperature anomaly in Kuroshio–Oyashio confluence region by bimodal Kuroshio extension
Given the essential impact of mixed-layer temperature (MLT) seasonality in Kuroshio–Oyashio Confluence Region (KOCR) on the variations of climate and...

Phytoplankton community responses to the combined effects of internal waves and anticyclonic eddies shed from the Kuroshio intrusion
The anticyclonic eddies (ACEs) shed from the Kuroshio intrusion often interact with internal waves (IWs). Those interactions are complex but play an...

Kuroshio Intrusion Combined with Coastal Currents Affects Phytoplankton in the Northern South China Sea Revealed by Lipid Biomarkers
The northern South China Sea (NSCS) is significantly influenced by the Kuroshio intrusion and the coastal currents. Our knowledge on the roles of...

Kuroshio water intrusion into the subarctic region in the western North Pacific Ocean and analyses of the Lagrangian coherent structure
Previous studies have suggested that the quasi-stationary jets, sometimes called the “Isoguchi jets” in the western North Pacific Ocean, regulate the...

Volume transport of the Kuroshio south of Japan estimated from repeated full-depth hydrographic surveys and current measurements
Velocity was measured during 1993–1995 by current-meters moored in the Kuroshio region off Shikoku. During the measurements, hydrographic surveys...

Sea level variability along the Japanese coast forced by the Kuroshio and its extension
Sea level variability along the Japanese coast and its relation to the Kuroshio-Kuroshio Extension (KE) are investigated using ocean reanalysis data....
-
Seasonal variability of eddy characteristics and energetics in the Kuroshio Extension
Based on the eddy-resolving Four-dimensional variational Ocean Re-Analysis for the Western North Pacific over 30 years (FORA-WNP30) product, this...

The Influence of Typhoon ‘Hongxia’ on the Intrusion of the Kuroshio Current into the South China Sea
This paper uses the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport (COAWST) model to analyze the impact of typhoon ‘Hongxia’ on the velocity and...
-
Submesoscale variability on the edge of Kuroshio-shed eddy in the northern South China Sea observed by underwater gliders
Based on a submesoscale-resolving glider observation from April 25 to May 4, 2018, characteristics and underlying dynamics of submesoscale...

The role of upper-ocean variations of the Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension in seasonal-to-decadal air-sea heat flux variability
The Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension (KOE) is the North Pacific oceanic frontal zone where air-sea heat and moisture exchanges allow strong communication...
-
The benefits of high-resolution models in simulating the Kuroshio Extension and its long-term changes
The Kuroshio Extension (KE) is a narrow midlatitude zonally oceanic jet-like flow, characterized by abundant mesoscale eddies and intense air–sea...
