This article reviews the progress in research on North Pacific mode waters of the past
decade from the physical oceanographic perspective. The accumulation of satellite altimeter …

The North Pacific Climatology of Winter Mixed Layer and Mode Waters in: Journal of
Physical Oceanography Volume 34 Issue 1 (2004) Jump to Content Jump to Main …

Subsurface fronts in the subtropical North Pacific were investigated by constructing a high‐
resolution temperature climatology. Three distinct subtropical fronts (STFs) are identified …

Abstract A Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) is a narrow eastward jet on the equator side
of a subtropical gyre, flowing against the broad westward Sverdrup flow. Together with …

The annual subduction rate in the North Pacific is estimated using five-day outputs from a
high-resolution general circulation model (GCM). Two maxima (> 200 m yr− 1) are found in …

Locations of vertical profile data used in this study: WOCE one-time CTD sections (dots
labeled P6, P15–P19, P21), Argo float tracks (thin solid lines, labeled 1–10), and the Aug …

The annual subduction rate of the North Pacific was calculated based on isopycnally
averaged hydrographic climatology (HydroBase), high-resolution winter mixed-layer …

Abstract Jang, CJ, Park, J., Park, T., and Yoo, S. 2011. Response of the ocean mixed layer
depth to global warming and its impact on primary production: a case for the North Pacific …

We evaluate the mean circulation patterns, water mass distributions, and tropical dynamics
of the North and Equatorial Pacific Ocean based on a suite of global ocean-sea ice …

This study investigates the response of the Mode Waters in the North Pacific to global
warming based on a set of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth …
