Abstract Previous studies have suggested that the quasi-stationary jets, sometimes called “Isoguchi jets” in western North Pacific Ocean, regulate warm and salty conditions transition domain between Subarctic Boundary Front. Here, we show mesoscale eddies interannual/decadal modulations are responsible for Kuroshio water intrusion into domain. A case study using Lagrangian coherent structure su...

In the Siberian Arctic, worldwide largest forest mortality was caused by chronical (since 1940s) influence of SO2 emissions on larch-dominant communities. We hypothesized that warming might mitigate increasing trees’ vigor and growth. studied trees (larch, Larix sibirica; spruce, Picea obovate; birch, Betula pendula) bushes (willow, Salix sp., alder, Duschekia fruticosa) growth dependence SO2, ...
