Improved representation of the Kuroshio extension through high-resolution dynamical downscaling: implications for future climate projections
The Kuroshio extension (KE) plays a key role in the North Pacific climate through its strong heat transport and wintertime air–sea fluxes. Low-resolution Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) global climate models, however, continue to show structural biases such as unrealistic Kuroshio overshooting. To...
