Subtropical Mode Water in a recent persisting Kuroshio large-meander period: part II-formation and temporal evolution in the Kuroshio recirculation gyre off Shikoku

Hatsumi Nishikawa et al.

Summary: Since August 2017, the Kuroshio south of Japan has formed a large meander (LM) path, accompanied by a recirculation gyre off Shikoku (RGOS). In the isolated RGOS, the formation and temporal evolution of Subtropical Mode Water (STMW) have been observed for more than three years. The deeper STMW layer of 18.0 degrees C formed in the late winter of 2017 has survived until September 2021, while the shallower STMW layer(s) of 19.0-19.8 degrees C has been repeatedly renewed or dissipated.

Local Atmospheric Response to the Kuroshio Large Meander Path in Summer and Its Remote Influence on the Climate of Japan

Shusaku Sugimoto et al.

Summary: The Kanto district in Japan, including Tokyo, with a population of 40 million, experiences hot and humid summers. The recent large meander path of the Kuroshio off the southern coast has led to coastal warming and increased water vapor, resulting in surface warming and more discomfort days in the region during LM years. These findings have significant impacts on summer climate in Japan and could improve weather and seasonal climate forecasts in the region.

Subtropical Mode Water in a recent persisting Kuroshio large-meander period: part I-formation and advection over the entire distribution region

Eitarou Oka et al.

Summary: The study reveals that since 2016, the formation and advection of North Pacific subtropical mode water have significantly decreased due to the impact of changes in the Kuroshio path and its stability, particularly in the lower temperature range of 16-18 degrees Celsius.

Phytoplankton Increase Along the Kuroshio Due to the Large Meander

Daniel Andres Lizarbe Barreto et al.

Summary: The study found that during the Kuroshio Large Meander (LM) periods, there were positive anomalies of chlorophyll-a concentration along the Kuroshio path, particularly in the years 2004-2005 and 2017-2019. These anomalies were triggered by meanders generated off the south of Kyushu and slowly propagated to the downstream LM region. Additionally, there were clear relationships between the minimum distance from several coast stations to the Kuroshio axis and the mean chlorophyll-a anomaly, with significant correlations at different stations.

Revisit of the Occurrence of the Kuroshio Large Meander South of Japan

Bo Qiu et al.

Summary: The study suggests that the occurrence of the Kuroshio large meander path is regulated by intense anticyclonic eddies, especially during the positive phase of the Pacific decadal oscillations (PDO). Surface wind forcing over the Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) is found to enhance eddy generation and facilitate the formation of the meander path. Most of the past eight events were preceded by persistent anticyclonic wind forcings over the STCC.
