Synoptic ship and satellite observations were performed of the Kuroshio warm-core ring (KWCR) 93A and its adjacent waters,
off Sanriku, northwestern North Pacific, between early April and late June 1997. The temporal and spatial distribution of
chlorophylla (Chl-a) and sea surface temperature in the study area were analyzed using data from ADEOS Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner (OCTS)
and NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR). The objective of this study was to describe the temporal and spatial
variability of the spring bloom and understand its relationship with the changes in the hydrographic structure of these waters
in and around KWCR 93A. The maximum value of Chl-a concentration in the ring was less than 1 mg/m3 during April. The spring bloom in the ring occurred early in May and the relatively high maximum (>1.0 mg/m3) continued from early in May to mid-June. In late June, a ship-observed surface Chl-a concentration of less than 0.4 mg/m3 suggests that the spring bloom had already declined in and around KWCR 93A. Double spiral structures of warm and cold streamers
appeared from late April to mid-May, which may have an influence on the occurrence of the spring bloom in and around the ring.
In this episodic event, the warm streamer can maintain the available potential energy of the ring and the strength of upwelling
around the ring. The cold streamer provided water with a high Chl-a concentration to the surface layer of the ring. In order to understand the temporal and spatial variability of Chl-a distribution in the ring, the behavior of the warm and cold streamers needs to be taken into consideration. 相似文献

The variety in shape and magnitude of thein vivo chlorophyll-specific absorption spectra of phytoplankton was investigated in relation to differences in pigment composition
off Sanriku, northwestern North Pacific. Site-to-site variations of the absorption coefficients,a
ph
* (λ), and pigment composition were clearly observed. At warm-streamer stations, higher values ofa
ph
* (440) anda
ph
* (650) were found with relatively high concentrations of chlorophyllb (a green algae marker). At stations located in the Oyashio water (cold streamer),a
ph
* (440) values were lower and fucoxanthin (a diatom marker) concentrations were higher, compared to the other stations. The
peak in the absorption spectra at the Oyashio stations was shifted toward shorter wavelengths, which was probably due to the
presence of phaeopigments. In a Kuroshio warm-core ring, the magnitude ofa
ph
* (440) was in between those at the warm-streamer and Oyashio stations, and the diagnostic pigment was peridinin (a dinoflagellate
marker). These findings indicated that major differences in phytoplankton absorption spectra of each water mass were a result
of differences in the phytoplankton pigment composition of each water mass, which was probably related to the phytoplankton
community. 相似文献

Freezing and thawing processes play an important role for the gravitational transport of surface materials on steep mountain slopes in Japan. The effects of deforestation on frost heave activity were observed through the 2012/2013 winter season in Ikawa University Forest, a southern mountainous area in central Japan (1180–1310 m above sea level). During periods without snow cover, needle ice development prevailed at a clear‐cut site, and the downslope sediment movement of upper soil was 10 to 15 cm through the winter season. At a non‐cut site, rise and fall in the ground surface level prevailed on a weekly scale, with no evident downslope movements at the surface; ice lens formation in the soil layer is assumed. Abrupt changes in the radiation budget, such as the strengthening of nighttime radiative cooling and increases in daytime direct insolation, induced frequent development/deformation of needle ice at the clear‐cut site. In snow‐free periods, the day‐to‐day variability in needle ice growth length and in nighttime averaged net radiation showed significant correlations; cloudy weather with warmer and moist air intrusion associated with synoptic disturbances prevented the occurrence of needle ice. Namely, day‐to‐day weather changes directly affected the mass movement of the upper soil after deforestation. Shallow snow cover occurred discontinuously through the winter and is likely an important factor in keeping the soil moisture sufficiently high in the upper soil layer for initiating needle ice during snow‐free periods. We also discuss contributions of coastal extratropical cyclone activities providing both snow cover and cloudy weather in the southern mountain areas of central Japan to the intra‐seasonal variability in frost heave and its indirect effect on soil creep and landslides on the deforested steep slopes.

Hydrographic observations were made in Otsuchi Bay on the Sanriku ria coast, Japan, to provide clear images of the baroclinic circulation extending over the bay together with the associated intrusion of lower-layer water (bottom water) from outside the bay. In summer, a prominent baroclinic circulation with flow speeds \({>} 0.1\ \text{ m }\ \text{ s }^{-1} \) extends over the greater part of the bay. A main pycnocline (thermocline), which separates the upper and lower layers, is located at a depth of 15–40 m in and around the bay. The direction of the lower-layer flow (inflow into and outflow from the bay) is opposite to that of the upper-layer flow, which are baroclinically coupled to each other. Moreover, with regard to the lower-layer flow, the inflow tends to occur mainly through the northwestern part of the bay mouth, whereas the outflow tends to occur mainly through the southeastern part. The inflow and outflow alternate on time scales of several to a few tens of hours, and the flow directions are sometimes related to the tidal ones, although the relationship is not applied persistently. In winter, the baroclinic circulation is considerably weaker than in summer, because the stratification breaks down. 相似文献

The mixing processes in the Mixed Water Region (MWR) that lead to changes in the properties of North Pacific Intermediate
Water (NPIW) have been studied using observational data sets obtained in May–June 1998. Neutral surfaces, the equation of
water mass conversion rate on neutral surfaces and the equation of vertical velocity across neutral surfaces have been used
to distinguish dominant processes by assuming the horizontal scale to be the streamer scale (under 100 km). The possibility
of double diffusive convection is also discussed in relation to the density ratio. These results may be summarized as follows:
(1) the difference between the potential density surface and the neutral surface may rise to −0.04 kg/m3 around the source water of NPIW; (2) horizontal diffusion causes strong modifications of the source water of NPIW; (3) the
density range within which strong modification of the source water of NPIW occurs becomes dense from the northern part of
MWR near the Oyashio Front to the southern part near the Kuroshio Front, and to the eastern part. Our modeling of these processes
shows that cabbeling has effects on the density increment of the source water of NPIW in the northern and southern part of
MWR. Double diffusive convection has effects on the density increment of the source water of NPIW, mainly in the northern
part of MWR. The possible density increment due to cabbeling in these areas is estimated to be 0.01≈0.03 kg/m3. The possible density increment due to double diffusive convection is 0.01≈0.03 kg/m3. The total density increment due to cabbeling and double diffusive convection amounts to 0.06 kg/m3.
