Analysis of the variability of the last 18 yr (1993–2012) of a 32 yr run of a new near-global,
eddy-resolving ocean general circulation model coupled with biogeochemistry is presented …

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 …

The region encompassing the Kuroshio Extension (KE) in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean
(25° N–45° N and 130° E–180° E) is one of the most eddy‐energetic regions of the global …

Using collocated altimetry sea surface height anomalies (SSHA) and Argo profiles within
detected eddies, we investigated structures of temperature, salinity, potential density …

A long‐lived (2‐year) typical large meander (LM) path of the Kuroshio is reproduced in a
high‐resolution general circulation model (GCM) simulation with realistic topography, and …

The Kuroshio is one of the most energetic western boundary currents accompanied by
vigorous eddy activity both on mesoscale and submesoscale, which affects biogeochemical …

The distribution of floating plastic debris around the Kuroshio Current which transports
plastics from the coastal waters of Asian countries to North Pacific subtropical gyre, was …

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 …

This work studies the nonlinear formation and secondary instability of jet meanders due to
baroclinic instability. The continuously stratified current-undercurrent system in the Western …

A reduced-gravity barotropic shallow-water model was used to simulate the Kuroshio path
variations. The results show that the model was able to capture the essential features of …
