Abstract: A repeat hydrographic section along 165°E was analyzed to verify a westward extension of the formation region of the North Pacific Ocean Central Mode Water (CMW) suggested by previous synoptic observations, and to investigate ...

Abstract: easonal and interannual variations of the barrier layer (BL) and its formation mechanism in the subtropical North and South Pacific were investigated by using raw and gridded Argo profiling float data and various surface ...

Abstract: ormation and subduction of the North Pacific Tropical Water (NPTW), its interannual variability, and its associated mechanisms were investigated by using gridded Argo-profiling float data and various surface flux data in ...

Abstract: Decadal modulations of the Kuroshio Extension (KE) system between a stable and an unstable dynamic state in the western North Pacific have prevailed in the past three decades. This dominance of decadal variations is ...

Abstract: Anticyclonic eddies propagating southwestward in the Alaskan Stream (AS) were investigated through analysis of altimetry data from satellite observations during 1992?2006 and hydrographic data from profiling float observations ...

Abstract: Temperature and salinity data from Argo profiling floats in the North Pacific during 2003?08 have been analyzed to study the structure of winter mixed layer north of the Kuroshio Extension and the subsurface potential ...

Abstract: ydrographic data obtained by high-resolution shipboard observations and Argo profiling floats have been analyzed to study the mesoscale structure and circulation of the North Pacific Subtropical Mode Water (STMW). The float ...

Abstract: To clarify characteristics and mechanisms of mesoscale variability in the deep ocean, we conducted a two-dimensional observation with a 3 × 3 grid mooring array around site R (30°N, 147°E) during 2014–16. We analyze the ...
