RISWhy Is the Spreading of the North Pacific Intermediate Water Confined on Density Surfaces around σθ = 26.8?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The North Pacific Intermediate Water, characterized by a salinity minimum confined to density surfaces of σ? = 26.7?26.9, exists throughout the subtropical gyre and has been observed to originate in the subarctic North ...
Variability and Energetics of the Kuroshio Extension and Its Recirculation Gyre from the First Two-Year TOPEX Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Altimetry data from the first 21-month TOPEX mission (September 1992?June 1994) are analysed to investigate the sea surface height (SSH) fluctuations in the Kuroshio Extension and its southern recirculation gyre regions ...
Large-Scale Variability in the Midlatitude Subtropical and Subpolar North Pacific Ocean: Observations and Causes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Altimetric data from the 8-yr TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P) mission (Oct 1992?Jul 2000) are used to investigate large-scale circulation changes in the three current systems of the midlatitude North Pacific Ocean: the North Pacific ...
Kuroshio Extension Variability and Forcing of the Pacific Decadal Oscillations: Responses and Potential Feedback
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A forcing mechanism is sought for the large-scale circulation changes in the Kuroshio Extension region of the western North Pacific Ocean as inferred by TOPEX/Poseidon sea surface height (SSH) data. The low-frequency signal ...
Kuroshio Extension Variability and Forcing of the Pacific Decadal Oscillations: Responses and Potential Feedback
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A forcing mechanism is sought for the large-scale circulation changes in the Kuroshio Extension region of the western North Pacific Ocean as inferred by TOPEX/Poseidon sea surface height (SSH) data. The low-frequency signal ...
Seasonal Eddy Field Modulation of the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent: TOPEX/Poseidon Observations and Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Altimetry data from the first 5¼-yr TOPEX/Poseidon mission (October 1992?December 1997) are analyzed focusing on the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) near the center of the Pacific?s western subtropical gyre. ...
Interannual Variability of the Kuroshio Extension System and Its Impact on the Wintertime SST Field
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Altimetry data from the first 7-yr TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P) mission (October 1992?September 1999) are analyzed to investigate the interannual variability in regions of the Kuroshio Extension and its southern recirculation gyre. ...
Decadal Variability of the Pacific Shallow Overturning Circulation and the Role of Local Wind Forcing

Numerical Investigations on the Heat Transfer Behavior of Brush Seals Using Combined Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Brush seals have been applied in more and more challenging hightemperature locations. The high speed bristlerotor friction causes a considerable heat generation which accelerates the bristles wear. The frictional heat ...
Interannual Variability of the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent and Its Associated Mesoscale Eddy Field
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Interannual changes in the mesoscale eddy field along the Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) band of 18°?25°N in the western North Pacific Ocean are investigated with 16 yr of satellite altimeter data. Enhanced eddy activities ...
