Variability in the chlorophyll a concentration (Chl) in relation to fluctuations in the mixed layer (ML) was investigated together with turbidity (Tur) in the Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension region, using profiling floats. A particular focus was the validity of two hypotheses concerning the spring bloom...
By conducting regional atmospheric model experiments, we show that, in the Kuroshio–Oyashio Confluence region, wintertime warm eddies heat the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL), and accelerate westerly winds in the near-surface atmosphere via the vertical mixing effect, leading to wind ...

This study investigates the seasonal variations of the mixed-layer salinity anomalies (MLSAs) under the decadal variability of the Kuroshio Extension (KE) in the Kuroshio-Oyashio Confluence Region (KOCR: 35–40°N, 140–150°E). Our analysis reveals that the seasonal variation trend of the MLS...

Although prevailing theories attribute variations of large-scale SST to atmosphere forcing and ocean internal dynamics, we find that sea surface heat flux anomalies induced by mesoscale eddies exert significant influences on the upper-ocean heat budget in the Kuroshio-Oyashio extension region. Despite ...
Spatial and temporal covariability between the atmospheric transient eddy heat fluxes (i.e., and ) in the Northern Hemisphere winter (January-March) and the paths of the Gulf Stream (GS), Kuroshio Extension (KE), and Oyashio Extension (OE) are examined based on an atmospheric reanalyses and...
The turbulent heat fluxes have large temporal variance in the Kuroshio-Oyashio Confluence (KOC) region [142掳155掳E, 35掳40掳N]. The turbulent heat fluxes in the KOC region also show a remarkable positive trend, the value of which in the recent decade increases by up to 20% from the ...
