Western boundary currents are generally thought to respond to global warming through basin-scale wind forcing and ocean stratification, yet the role of local winds remains unclear. Here, we investigate changes in the Kuroshio under ongoing climate warming using satellite altimetry and high-resolution reanalysis data....

North Pacific Subtropical Mode Water (STMW) is one of the largest ventilated water masses in the world's oceans, with a thickness of a few hundred meters, occupying a broad region over the North Pacific subtropical gyre. Formed in the deep winter mixed layer south of the Kuroshio Extension, STMW transports heat, ox...

Since the spring of 2023, the Kuroshio Extension had shifted northward, leading to a marine heat wave (MHW) immediately to the east of northern Japan. Although several previous studies have investigated the impact of MHWs on weather on land during the warm season, only a few studies have investigated their impact dur...
