... Abstract For maintaining biological diversity in the coral coasts around Ryukyu Islands, Japan, a role played by the adjacent Kuroshio warm current is anticipated to be necessary for larval and nutrient transport. In order to understand dynamics and mixing between Kuroshio and the islands, we...

... ABSTRACT Power-free underwater vehicle with two rudders is developed and works in Kuroshio. Applied loads and strength of the rudder are determined by CFD and ANSYS at 0.3~1.8 m/s. A tested vehicle was conducted at 0.65 m/s flow in harbor. We concentrate on attack angle and strength of rudders...

... will inevitably have influences on ocean environment of China. During ENSO events, some ocean variables will change in the Yellow Sea and China Sea, involving coastal water level, sea level, sea surface temperature, cyclones, oceanic front, Kuroshio, red tide etc. (Ke, 1994). Ocean plays an important role...

... to the limitation of spatial resolution of the HFR systems used in the study. Besides, the complicated flow structure also affected the performance of the velocity estimations along drifter trajectories based on HFR currents. This was due to the strong Kuroshio interacting with the complicated seabed topography off...

... ABSTRACT: Recent research discussed the possibility that not only terragenic but also oceanic nutrient loads had a considerable influence on the water quality of an enclosed bay such as Osaka Bay in Japan. In this study, numerical simulations are conducted to clarify the influence of Kuroshio...

... that the M2 tidal current in the Tokara Strait is significantly affected by the internal tidal current. Moreover, the internal tidal current is shown to fluctuate according to the north-south movement of the Kuroshio's path. INTRODUCTION The Kuroshio, the western boundary current of the North Pacific...

... indicates a quasi-biennial sea level oscillation in the ECS, which is mainly affected by the fluctuation of the bimodality path of the Kuroshio and the discharge of the Yangtze River. Generally, the steric effect dominates the seasonal variability of the sea level, but in the interannual time scale, mean...

... that the stratification and concentration of nutrients in this area depends on the Kuroshio fluctuating, and that nutrients intrude to Osaka Bay through the bottom layer as Kuroshio current is detached far from the shore. INTRODUCTION Osaka Bay is a semi-enclosed inland sea and one of the most polluted coastal seas...

... ABSTRACT The Kuroshio intrusion into the SCS through the Luzon Strait is an important process. Because of the intrusion, an eddy is located northwest of Luzon Island. Many papers reported the eddy. However, the eddy was claimed to be either cyclonic or anticyclonic. Based on the P-Vector...

... the characteristics of internal waves northeast of Taiwan. Rank-ordered packets of internal solitons propagating shoreward from the edge of the continental shelf were observed in the SAR images. The generation mechanism includes the influences of the tide and the Kuroshio intrusion across the continental shelf...
