Some Properties of the Warm Eddies Generated in the Confluence Zone of the Kuroshio and Oyashio Currents The size, movement and maximum core temperature of warm eddies off Japan are discussed on the basis of 154 examples of warm eddies from various sources during the 17 year period 1957–73, ...
The Kuroshio and Oyashio are the western boundary currents of the subtropical and subarctic gyre in the western North Pacific (Qiu, 2001; Yatsu et al., 2013). The warm, saline, northward-flowing Kuroshio separates from the Japanese coast near 35°N, 140°E to flow eastward. The eastward-fl...
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 ...
These abyssal currents then strongly influence the pathway for subtropical gyre flow north of the Kuroshio Extension and steer the mean meanders in the Kuroshio south and east of Japan. This is corroborated by current meter data from the Kuroshio Extension Regional Experiment (World Ocean Circulation...
They can be obtained irrespective of cloudiness and sun illumination. In this paper, the dynamic features in the large region in the Northwest Pacific associated with the cold Oyashio Current are considered. The combination of the Oyashio and Kuroshio currents, strong tides, and sharp changes in ...

Examines the time-averaged structure of the Kuroshio/Oyashio ocean currents in Eastern Japan. Use of historical hydrographic data for the climatological analysis; Detection of a phenomena associated with the narrow western boundary currents; Observation of a significant deep component of Kuroshio Extension...
Diel and seasonal changes in the photosynthetic physiology of phytoplankton and primary productivity were investigated during 2005, together with community composition in the Oyashio (OY) and Kuroshio–Oyashio transition (TR) regions of the northwest Pacific. In both regions, diel changes in the maximum...
