Twelve years of sea surface height (SSH) data from multiple satellite altimeters are used to
investigate the low-frequency changes and the interconnections of the Kuroshio Extension …

A fifty-year eddy-resolving simulation of the world ocean has been performed on the Earth
Simulator for the first time. Several global aspects of the circulations and regional …

Decadal modulations of the Kuroshio Extension (KE) system between a stable and an
unstable dynamic state in the western North Pacific have prevailed in the past three …

Abstract The Kuroshio Extension region is well known for its strong eddy activity. In this
paper, using satellite altimetry‐measured sea surface height anomaly data from 1993 to …

A high-resolution ocean general circulation model is developed to simulate connections
between the Kuroshio path variations and mesoscale eddy activities as realistically as …

A unique characteristic by the Kuroshio off the southern coast of Japan is its bimodal path
variations. In contrast to its straight path that follows the coastline, the Kuroshio takes a large …

The winter‐and spring‐time mixed‐layer pump (MLP) significantly augments the global
carbon transport from the surface mixed layer to deeper waters when ephemeral surface …

This study investigates the long-term variability of the Kuroshio path south of Japan.
Sensitivity experiments using a data-assimilative model suggest that the duration of the …

The influences of mesoscale eddies on variations of the Kuroshio path south of Japan have
been investigated using time series of the Kuroshio axis location and altimeter-derived sea …

In this work, the four-dimensional variational (4D-Var) data assimilation (DA) of the Regional
Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) is applied in the East China Sea (ECS). The unique …
