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...

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...

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...

Coastal water temperature difference, a potential predictor of glass eel recruitment in Anguilla japonica during non-meander periods of the Kuroshio
Predictability of glass eel recruitment of Japanese eel ( Anguilla japonica ) was examined with a simple indicator constructed using coastal water...

Identifying the sensitive areas in targeted observation for predicting the Kuroshio large meander path in a regional ocean model
With the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), this paper investigates the sensitive areas in targeted observation for predicting the Kuroshio large...

Temporal-spatial oceanic variation in relation with the three typical Kuroshio paths south of Japan
Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis was applied to a 50-year long time series of monthly mean positions of the Kuroshio path south of Japan...

Subtropical Mode Water in a recent persisting Kuroshio large-meander period: part I—formation and advection over the entire distribution region
Since August 2017, the Kuroshio has taken a large-meander (LM) path, which has forced the Kuroshio extension (KE) to be in its stable state against...

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....

Superposition of coastal-trapped waves and Kuroshio warm water intrusions caused unusually high sea levels around the southern coasts of Japan in early September 1971
Unusually high sea level (UHSL) in early September 1971, which caused coastal flooding around the southern coasts of Japan despite no severe weather...

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...

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...

Identification of Kuroshio meanderings south of Japan via a topological data analysis for sea surface height
This study proposes an algorithm to identify stable Kuroshio meanderings by extracting topological features from a sea surface height (SSH) gridded...

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...

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...

Temporal variations of net Kuroshio transport based on a repeated hydrographic section along 137°E
Temporal variations of net Kuroshio transport are examined for 1972–2018 based on a repeated hydrographic section along 137°E, which is maintained by...

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...
-
Marked coastal warming off Tokai attributable to Kuroshio large meander
The Kuroshio takes a large meander (LM) path since summer of 2017 for the first time since the 2004–2005 event and is the sixth LM event since 1965....

An ensemble-based data assimilation system for forecasting variability of the Northwestern Pacific ocean
An adjoint-free four-dimensional variational (a4dVar) data assimilation (DA) is implemented in an operational ocean forecast system based on an...

Assessment of Pollution of the Waters in the South Kuril Fishing Zone of Russia by Radioactive Waters from the Fukushima-1 NPP Based on Lagrangian Modeling
AbstractThe potential hazard arising from the actions taken by the Japanese government regarding the discharge of technical radioactive water from...

Vertical coupling and dynamical source for the intraseasonal variability in the deep Kuroshio Extension
In the power spectrum, the upper and deep parts of the Kuroshio Extension have distinctly different peaks. The former peaks around 200 days, while...
