Dissolved organic carbon export with North Pacific Intermediate Water formation
[1] An evaluation of DOC export with the formation of North Pacific Intermediate Water is presented. Data from sites representing the relevant North Pacific water masses (subtropical, subpolar, and subtropical transitional) are used to demonstrate the process. We suggest that dissolved organic carbon (DOC)-replete Oyashio (subpolar) water mixes with DOC-depleted Kuroshio (subtropical) water in ...
متن کاملWestern North Pacific Typhoons with Concentric Eyewalls
This study examines the intensity change and moat dynamics of typhoons with concentric eyewalls using passive microwave data and best-track data in the western North Pacific between 1997 and 2006. Of the 225 typhoons examined, 55 typhoons and 62 cases with concentric eyewalls have been identified. The data indicate that approximately 57% of category 4 and 72% of category 5 typhoons possessed co...
متن کاملNOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE North Pacific Intermediate Water Transports in the Mixed Water Region
Initial mixing between the subtropical and subpolar waters of Kuroshio and Oyashio origin occurs in the mixed water region (interfrontal zone) between the Kuroshio and Oyashio. The relatively fresh water that enters the Kuroshio Extension from the Mixed Water Region is this already mixed subtropical transition water. Subtropical transition water in the density range 26.64–27.4 su can be conside...
متن کاملThe Pacific Meridional Mode and the Occurrence of Tropical 1 Cyclones in the Western North Pacific
30 This study investigates the association between the Pacific Meridional Mode (PMM) 31 and tropical cyclone (TC) activity in the western North Pacific (WNP). It is found that 32 the positive PMM phase favors the occurrence of TCs in the WNP while the negative 33 PMM phase inhibits the occurrence of TCs there. Observed relationships are 34 consistent with those from a long-term preindustrial co...
متن کاملFukushima-derived radiocesium in the western North Pacific in 2014
In 2014, we measured activity concentration of radiocesium in the western North Pacific Ocean. In the north of Kuroshio Front high activity concentration of Fukushima-derived radiocesium in surface mixed layer in 2012 had been transported eastward by 2014. In the south of the front we found a radiocesium subsurface maximum in 200-600 m depth, which was similar to that observed in 2012. The subs...
