RISCoastal Oyashio South of Hokkaido, Japan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Coastal Oyashio Water (COW), the cold low-salinity water lying along the southeast coast of Hokkaido, sometimes flows into Funka Bay on the southwest coast in winter and spring. Because this water is low in density, a ...
An Estimation of Buoyancy Flux for a Mixture of Turbulence and Double Diffusion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Microstructure measurements were made in the Mixed Water Region of the Oyashio/Kuroshio/Tsugaru currents system where both turbulence and double diffusion are involved in mixing. While intense turbulence is observed near ...
The Generation of Large-Amplitude Unsteady Lee Waves by Subinertial K1 Tidal Flow: A Possible Vertical Mixing Mechanism in the Kuril Straits
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical experiments with a two-dimensional nonhydrostatic model are performed to investigate tidally generated internal waves in the Kuril Straits and their effect on vertical mixing. The results show that sill-scale ...
North Pacific Intermediate Water in the Kuroshio/Oyashio Mixed Water Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) originates as a vertical salinity minimum in the mixed water region (MWR) between the Kuroshio and Oyashio, just east of Japan. Salinity minima in this region are examined and ...
