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: The formation of the Weddell Polynya is investigated with a one-dimensional, convective mixed-layer model, using in situ data from late summer 1974 as initial conditions. We propose that a high-salinity mixed layer in ...

Abstract: In order to clarify the structure and seasonal variability of the flow field near the western boundary of the Sea of Okhotsk, long-term mooring measurements were carried out from 1998 to 2000 in this region. In most of the ...

Abstract: sing oceanographic observations and an eddy-resolving ice?ocean coupled model simulation from 1955 to 2004, the effects of the wind-driven ocean circulation change that occurred in the late 1970s during multidecadal-scale ...

Abstract: It is proposed that the cyclonic gyre over the northern half-basin of the Okhotsk Sea is driven by the wind stress curl and that a major part of the East Sakhalin Current (ESC) can be regarded as its western boundary ...

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 ...
