Profiling Float Measurements of the Recirculation Gyre South of the Kuroshio Extension in May–November, 2004
During May–November, 2004, 20 profiling floats were deployed in the recirculation gyre (RG) region south of the Kuroshio Extension (KE). With the KE and RG being in a stable state, most of these floats remained within the RG, resulting in a large number of satellite position fixes for estimating the velocities at the parking depth (1,500 db), and of T/S (Temperature/Salinity) profiles for estim...
متن کاملDecadal Variability of the Kuroshio Extension: Observations and an Eddy-Resolving Model Hindcast*
Low-frequency variability of the Kuroshio Extension (KE) is studied using observations and a multidecadal (1950–2003) hindcast by a high-resolution (0.1°), eddy-resolving, global ocean general circulation model for the Earth Simulator (OFES). In both the OFES hindcast and satellite altimeter observations, low-frequency sea surface height (SSH) variability in the North Pacific is high near the K...
متن کاملDecadal seesaw of the Central and Subtropical Mode Water formation associated with the Kuroshio Extension variability
Available Argo profiling float data from 2002 to 2011 were analyzed to examine the effect of the Kuroshio Extension (KE) current system variability on the formation of the Central Mode Water. Just north of the upstream portion of the KE at 140–152 E, formation of a lighter variety of the Central Mode Water in winter was active during the unstable period of the upstream KE in 2006–2009 and was r...

متن کاملThe role of mesoscale eddies time and length scales on phytoplankton production
Horizontal mixing has been found to play a crucial role in the development of spatial plankton structures in the ocean. We study the influence of time and length scales of two different horizontal two-dimensional (2-D) flows on the growth of a single phytoplankton patch. To that end, we use a coupled model consisting of a standard three component ecological NPZ model and a flow model able to mi...
