Synoptic observations of the oceanic frontal system east of Japan

Abstract: A series of seven flights was conducted during 2 weeks in October 1976 to obtain synoptic thermal measurements of the Kuroshio and Oyashio fronts and to determine the distribution and physical properties of eddies formed by these fronts. Sea surface temperature was measured continuously with an airborne radiation thermometer, and airborne expendable bathythermographs (XBT's) provided subsurface temperature profiles. These data were supplemented with shipboard XBT and salinity temperature depth (STD) measuremen… Show more

“…The intensity of this variability between 10 and 20 cm is of the same order as the mean monthly variability found near the Kuroshio by Wyrtki [1975]. In this zone, as in the region of the return flow of the Gulf Stream, there are many energetic cold eddies detected by temperature measurements (both satellite and in situ) or buoy trajectories [Cheney, 1977;Cheney et al, 1980]. In this zone, as in the region of the return flow of the Gulf Stream, there are many energetic cold eddies detected by temperature measurements (both satellite and in situ) or buoy trajectories [Cheney, 1977;Cheney et al, 1980].…”

“…Figure 2(b) shows the depth profile at 38~ and the different topographic features of the model. Because the thermocline of KWCRs is at a depth of nearly 500 m (Cheney, 1977), the boundary between upper and lower layers is taken at 500 m below the surface in our model.…”
