Simple Model Prediction of Horizontal Temperature Fields in the Subtropical–Subpolar System Caused by Sudden Change in Wind Stress Curl
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A four-level numerical model, which is driven by wind stress and surface heat flux, is used to study responses of horizontal temperature fields in the subtropical?subpolar system to a sudden change in the magnitude of the ...
Seasonality of the Kuroshio Path Destabilization Phenomenon in the Okinawa Trough: A Numerical Study of Its Mechanism
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous observations have indicated that the Kuroshio?s path in the northern Okinawa Trough of the East China Sea is destabilized and accompanied by meanders with periods of 1?3 months during the winter?spring period. The ...
Response of Storm Tracks to Bimodal Kuroshio Path States South of Japan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: large meridional shift of the sea surface temperature front occurs off the south coast of Japan associated with transitions between the large-meander and straight paths of the Kuroshio. Most extratropical cyclones generated ...
Numerical Simulation of the Kuroshio Flowing over the Hirase Seamount in the Tokara Strait in Autumn: Tidal Vortex Shedding in a Baroclinic Jet

Numerical Study on the Oyashio Water Pathways in the Kuroshio–Oyashio Confluence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, results of a high-resolution regional model of the Kuroshio?Oyashio confluence, where the mixed water region (MWR) forms off the northeastern coast of Japan, are discussed. The model simulates major ...
