Abstract: | The interannual variations of the sea level at the coastal stations of the Sea of Japan and of the water discharge through
the Korea (Tsushima) Strait are studied. It is demonstrated that the interannual variations of the water discharge through
this strait are determined by the water discharge of the Oyashio (in the subarctic Pacific) and the Kuroshio (in the East
China Sea) currents and by the zonal wind stress component over the Sea of Japan in winter period. It is revealed that the
variations in the East China Sea water transport through the Korea (Tsushima) Strait cause the interannual variations of the
dissolved oxygen content in intermediate (500 m) and deep (1000 m and more, σθ = 27.35) waters of the Sea of Japan. |
