The Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension (KOE) is a region of energetic oceanic mesoscale eddies and vigorous air-sea interaction that can influence climate variability over the northwest Pacific and East Asia. General circulation models (GCMs) exhibit considerable differences in their simulated climatology around ...

To investigate the variability in the Chl and its relationship to MLD, we made continuous observations of chlorophyll a fluorescence in the Kuroshio–Oyashio Extension region (Fig. 1) using profiling floats with a fluorescence sensor attached. In the Kuroshio–Oyashio Extension region in the western...
The Kuroshio Current can be divided geographically into three regions: (1) the source region upstream of Tokara Strait, (2) south of Japan, and (3) the downstream Kuroshio Extension (Qiu2001). It also bifurcates and travels into the Japan Sea via the Tsushima Strait. ...
Multiple maxima in radiolarian abundance occurred during periods of the Oyashio expanded mode before 785 ka and during periods of Kuroshio extension after 785 ka in MIS 19. Such increases in radiolarian abundance with the Kuroshio extension during MIS 19 are likely related to improvements in ...

region, to the south of the Kuroshio Extension, we found a subsurface radiocesium maximum at a depth of about 300 m. It is concluded that atmospheric-deposited radiocesium south of the Kuroshio Extension just after the accident had been transported not only eastward along with surface currents...
