Abstract The East Asian marginal seas gain heat from the warm pool via intrusion of the
Kuroshio Current and play an important role in regulating regional climate. Here, we show …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are prolonged discrete events of anomalously warm seawater
observed around the world. The occurrence of MHWs in the Japan/East Sea (JES), a middle …

ADCP current data and sea level data from tide gauges and satellite altimetry were used in
order to analyze long-term variation of the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) volume transport …

Abstract The Tsushima Strait (TS) is the sole passage for volume transport from the East
China Sea to the Sea of Japan. To date, the process underlying the interannual variability in …

Linear trends in Kuroshio transport during a recent global warming hiatus (1998–2013) were
evaluated using long‐term ferryboat ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) data and tidal …

Swordtip squid (Uroteuthis edulis), which is sometimes eaten alive (lively squid) in northwest
Kyushu, Japan, is an economically important fish species in the region. However, the total …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are persistent, discrete, extreme high-temperature events in the
ocean, which can destructively affect marine ecosystems. Using satellite remote sensing …

This study provides formulae for monthly estimates of the Soya Warm Current (SYC)
transport from the sea-level difference (SLD) across the Soya Strait and along the current …

Linear trends in the Ryukyu Current, a part of the western boundary current in the western
North Pacific flowing on the seaside of the Ryukyu Island chain, were investigated using …

Three high-frequency (HF) ocean radars were installed at the Soya/La Perouse Strait to
monitor the surface current fields of the Soya Warm Current (SWC), which flows through the …
