Physical and Optical Structures in the Upper Ocean of the East (Japan) Sea

Abstract

This study fits within our broader scientific efforts to understand: (1) Physical and biological responses of the upper ocean to atmospheric forcing and how these penetrate to the interior; (2) The dynamics and biological influences of instabilities, secondary circulations and vertical motions associated with upper ocean fronts; and (3) Physical and bio-optical transitions between coastal and central basin waters.
