Abstract: The frequency change in internal gravity waves upon scattering from a rough topography is investigated analytically. For this, sets of appropriate and tractable governing equations for various parameter regimes are derived ...

Abstract: On the basis of ray tracing of individual waves generated at various phases of the tidal flow, an amplification mechanism is presented for a new class of topographically generated internal waves identified by Nakamura et ...

Abstract: he Soya ?Warm Current? (SWC) flows through a shallow strait between the Japan Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk. The SWC has a jet structure downstream of the strait along the northern coast of Hokkaido with a maximum speed ...

Abstract: The tidal exchange between the Okhotsk Sea and the North Pacific Ocean is studied numerically with particular emphasis on the predominant K1 barotropic component. The calculated harmonic constants of the K1 tide in and ...

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 ...

Abstract: auses of the multidecadal-scale warming of the intermediate water in the Okhotsk Sea and the western subarctic North Pacific during 1980?2008 are investigated using an ice?ocean coupled model with interannually varying ...
