RISStructure and Modification of the South Pacific Eastern Subtropical Mode Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using all available temperature and salinity profiles obtained by Argo floats from July 2004 to June 2007, this study investigated the structure and modification of the South Pacific Eastern Subtropical Mode Water (SPESTMW). ...
The Subtropical Mode Water Circulation in the North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Historical hydrographic data are analyzed to investigate the seasonal variation of the subsurace pycnostad in the northwestern part of the North Pacific and to relate it to the circulation of subtropical mode water (STMW). ...
Interannual Variations of North Pacific Subtropical Mode Water in the 137°E Section
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Examination of interannual variations of North Pacific subtropical mode water (STMW) in the 137°E repeat hydrographic section by Suga et al. is extended to seek a relation between changes in STMW renewal and the wintertime ...
Differential Formation and Circulation of North Pacific Central Mode Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Three Types of South Pacific Subtropical Mode Waters: Their Relation to the Large-Scale Circulation of the South Pacific Subtropical Gyre and Their Temporal Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A detailed spatial distribution of South Pacific Subtropical Mode Water (SPSTMW) and its temporal variation were investigated using the World Ocean Atlas (WOA) 2001 climatology and high-resolution expendable bathythermograph ...
Interannual Variation of Annual Subduction Rate in the North Pacific Estimated from a Gridded Argo Product
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: patiotemporal variability of the subduction rate in the North Pacific from 2005 to 2012 is examined based on the Argo observational data. The subduction rate in the subtropical North Pacific varies significantly from year ...
Thermostad Distribution in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre: The Central Mode Water and the Subtropical Mode Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The upper thermal structure of the midlatitude North Pacific is studied with the use of all the bathythermograph data compiled in the global ocean temperature and salinity profiles released by the National Oceanographic ...
Subtropical Mode Water in the 137°E Section
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The subtropics mode water (STMW) in the North Pacific Ocean has been investigated based on the data of long-term observations along the 137°E meridian, which have been performed by the Japan Meteorological Agency since ...
Severe Cold Winter in North America Linked to Bering Sea Ice Loss
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: North America experienced an intense cold wave with record low temperatures during the winter of 2017/18, at the time reaching the smallest rank of sea ice area (SIA) in the Bering Sea over the past four decades. Using ...
The North Pacific Climatology of Winter Mixed Layer and Mode Waters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A climatology of the winter mixed layer in the North Pacific Ocean was constructed using hydrographic data from historical archives and recent observational programs, including the World Ocean Circulation Experiment. The ...
