Kuroshio - Oyashio  transition zone The  Kuroshio  and  Oyashio , which are the western boundary currents, have great influence on climate in the western North Pacific.  The Kuroshio  and the  Oyashio  meet in the Pacific ocean east of Japan and a complex oceanic feature associated with  warm  and  cold  eddies appears in this region. Therefore, the  Kuroshio -Oyashio transition zone is sometime called "the confluence zone”.  Oyashio  water has low temperature, low salinity and is rich in nutrients compared with subtropical water. Since the large temperature difference between the  Kuroshio  and Oyashio waters, there appear many temperature fronts and eddies of various scales. This region is also well known as one of the good commercial fish grounds in the World ocean.  Seasonal and interannual dynamics of the  Oyashio  and  Kuroshio  are closely linked to climate change and influence the migrations and fluctuations of  fishes in the northwestern Pacific.
Kuroshio - Oyashio The eddies may persist in this region for periods ranging from several months to more than one year, and their occurrence and physical and biological evolution have a strong influence on the local climate, hydrography, and fisheries ( Sugimoto and Tameishi, 1992; Yasuda et al.,  1992 ). The occurrence and behavior of these mesoscale eddies are known to be related to both bottom topography and variability in currents They are monitored mainly via hydrography, satellite infrared images, and altimetry data. . While heat transport can occur by both  warm  and  cold  eddies and noneddy fluctuations, significant material transport only occurs via the movement of intense eddies that trap water within their core. Long-distance poleward movements of intense  Warm Core Rings  along the trenches play an important role in the exchange of salinity and nutrients between the subtropical and western subarctic gyres.
Geography and hydrography of the study region (a) Bottom topography (from  Smith and Sandwell , 1997 ), (b) magnitude of mean geostrophic velocity (color scale) and mean dynamic height with 1500-db reference [gray contours in m;  ( Rio and Hernandez,  2000).  Front  lines  (defined as bands of relatively strong mean geostrophic flows, denoted as the  Subarctic Front  ( SAF ) and the  subarctic boundary  ( SAB ) are represented by  black dashed lines .

Schematic summary of the behavior of mesoscale eddies in the  Kuroshio - Oyashio  Extension Region WCR , CCR,  KE, SAF, SAB, and TWC represent warm-core ring, cold core ring, the   Kuroshio   Extension, Subarctic Front, subarctic boundary, and  the Tsugaru Warm Current , respectively. ( Itoh and Yasuda, 2010 ). Thin dashed arrows indicate movement directions. Flows of the  Oyashio  and the KE, the SAF, and the SAB are shown by solid gray lines; the deepest part of the Japan and Kuril–Kamchatka Trenches is depicted by a dashed gray line.

Eddy on ERS-1 image The imaged area lies just east of  the   Tsugaru Strait  separating the  Hokkaido  and  Honshu  Islands in the  Kuroshio - Oyashio  transition zone.  The transition zone exhibits strong mesoscale variability. This variability in the current system manifests itself in mesoscale meanders and eddies, which are generated in the frontal zone by instabilities.  23-Dec-1994 01:08 UTC Warm anticyclo-nic eddy  in the Pacific Ocean generated by the Kuroshio Current.

  • 1. INVESTIGATION OF OYASHIO-KUROSHIO FRONTAL ZONE USING ALOS PALSAR IMAGES AND ANCILLARY INFORMATION Leonid M. Mitnik and Vyacheslav B. Lobanov   V.I. Il'ichev Pacific Oceanological Institute FEB RAS, 43 Baltiyskaya St., Vladivostok 690041, Russian Federation, e-mail: mitnik@poi.dvo.ru   IGARSS 2011 24-20 July, Vancouver, Canada 2011 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium Authors thank JAXA for ALOS PALSAR images provided for projects № 354 и 365.
  • 2. Kuroshio - Oyashio transition zone The Kuroshio and Oyashio , which are the western boundary currents, have great influence on climate in the western North Pacific. The Kuroshio and the Oyashio meet in the Pacific ocean east of Japan and a complex oceanic feature associated with warm and cold eddies appears in this region. Therefore, the Kuroshio -Oyashio transition zone is sometime called "the confluence zone”. Oyashio water has low temperature, low salinity and is rich in nutrients compared with subtropical water. Since the large temperature difference between the Kuroshio and Oyashio waters, there appear many temperature fronts and eddies of various scales. This region is also well known as one of the good commercial fish grounds in the World ocean. Seasonal and interannual dynamics of the Oyashio and Kuroshio are closely linked to climate change and influence the migrations and fluctuations of fishes in the northwestern Pacific.
  • 3. Kuroshio - Oyashio The eddies may persist in this region for periods ranging from several months to more than one year, and their occurrence and physical and biological evolution have a strong influence on the local climate, hydrography, and fisheries ( Sugimoto and Tameishi, 1992; Yasuda et al., 1992 ). The occurrence and behavior of these mesoscale eddies are known to be related to both bottom topography and variability in currents They are monitored mainly via hydrography, satellite infrared images, and altimetry data. . While heat transport can occur by both warm and cold eddies and noneddy fluctuations, significant material transport only occurs via the movement of intense eddies that trap water within their core. Long-distance poleward movements of intense Warm Core Rings along the trenches play an important role in the exchange of salinity and nutrients between the subtropical and western subarctic gyres.
  • 4. Geography and hydrography of the study region (a) Bottom topography (from Smith and Sandwell , 1997 ), (b) magnitude of mean geostrophic velocity (color scale) and mean dynamic height with 1500-db reference [gray contours in m; ( Rio and Hernandez, 2000). Front lines (defined as bands of relatively strong mean geostrophic flows, denoted as the Subarctic Front ( SAF ) and the subarctic boundary ( SAB ) are represented by black dashed lines .

Yasuda, Characteristics of mesoscale eddies in the Kuroshio–Oyashio Extension Region detected from the distribution of the Sea Surface Height Anomaly, J. Phys.

  • 6. Schematic summary of the behavior of mesoscale eddies in the Kuroshio - Oyashio Extension Region WCR , CCR, KE, SAF, SAB, and TWC represent warm-core ring, cold core ring, the Kuroshio Extension, Subarctic Front, subarctic boundary, and the Tsugaru Warm Current , respectively. ( Itoh and Yasuda, 2010 ). Thin dashed arrows indicate movement directions. Flows of the Oyashio and the KE, the SAF, and the SAB are shown by solid gray lines; the deepest part of the Japan and Kuril–Kamchatka Trenches is depicted by a dashed gray line.
