Abstract: Coastal sea level variation around Antarctica is characterized by a coherent (circumpolarly in-phase) fluctuation, correlated with the Antarctic Oscillation (AAO). This study addresses the dynamics of the wind-driven sea ...

Abstract: he Southern Ocean allows circumpolar structure and the Antarctic coastline plays a role as a waveguide for oceanic Kelvin waves. Under the cyclic conditions, the horizontal wavenumbers and frequencies for circumpolarly ...

Abstract: Numerical model experiments have been carried out in an attempt to elucidate the. generation mechanism of the eddy or wave street in the Soya Warm Current. We use a barotropic model incorporating bottom topography. Under ...

Abstract: This study examines the features of fairly regular ocean-wave motion in which some eddy streets or backward breaking waves are successfully visualized using sea ice floes as a tracer. These examinations are made using the ...

Abstract: In the Antarctic Ocean, sea ice melts mostly by warming of the ocean mixed layer through heat input (mainly solar radiation) in open water areas. A simplified ice?upper ocean coupled model is proposed in which sea ice melts ...

Abstract: A time series analysis of the sea surface height anomaly (SSHa) was conducted in the Kuril Basin of the Sea of Okhotsk. The mapping of the satellite-derived SSHa data was optimized to mitigate the effects of sea ice on the ...

Abstract: inking of dense water from Antarctic coastal polynyas produces Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW), which is the densest water in the global overturning circulation and is a key player in climate change as a significant sink for ...

Abstract: ind factor, the ratio of sea ice drift speed to surface wind speed, is a key factor for the dynamics of sea ice and is generally about 2%. In some coastal oceans, however, the wind factor tends to be larger near the coast. ...

Abstract: ea ice formation, its transport, and its melting cause the redistribution of heat and salt, which plays an important role in the climate and biogeochemical systems. In the Sea of Okhotsk, a heat and salt flux dataset is ...

Abstract: AbstractThis study investigated a method for creating a climatological dataset with improved reproducibility and reliability for the Southern Ocean. Despite sparse observational sampling, the Southern Ocean has a dominant ...
