A34B:
Interactions between the Kuroshio and Asian Marginal Seas Posters
Session ID#: 9273
Session Description:
The Kuroshio is a major western boundary current in the North Pacific, carrying tremendous amount of water mass, heat, and salt from low to mid latitudes and thus affecting physical and biogeochemical properties along its route. Asian marginal seas, such as the South China Sea, the East China Sea, and the Japan-East Sea along the northwest rim of the Kuroshio, have shown distinct dynamic connections to the variability of the Kuroshio. The exchanges between the Kuroshio and marginal seas can affect both the dynamical structures in the marginal seas and the behavior of the Kuroshio, which could also be coupled with mesoscale eddies, local forcing, shelf processes, etc. With increased efforts in development of in-situ monitoring, remote sensing and high-resolution numerical models, our understanding of the impact of Kuroshio has significantly advanced in recent years. This session calls for presentations featuring new results on the interactions between the Kuroshio and Asian marginal seas. Presentations that address interactions between other boundary currents (e.g., the Mindanao and Oyashio currents) and Asian marginal seas, the open Pacific Ocean, and the atmosphere, are also invited.
