Trace Metal Biogeochemistry in the Western North Pacific
… of Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni Zn and Pb across the western and central North Pacific.</p> <p>Dissolved trace metal concentrations were measured using a novel isotope dilution-ICP-MS method after extraction over an 8-hydroxyquinoline resin column and validated through the use of the SAFe consensus …

Determination of dissolved trace metals in the western North Pacific
… was used to investigate trace metals in the western North Pacific, a region for which little trace metal data are available. Concentrations of these elements are found to be in the range of 0.7 pmol/kg to 12nmol/kg, analytical precision is better than 7%, and the seawater detection limits are …

Relationships between global warming and tropical cyclone activity in the Western North Pacific
… warming and tropical cyclone activity in the Western North Pacific (WNP). Our hypothesis is that global warming impacts on TC activity occur through changes in the large scale environmental factors (LSEFs) known to be important in determining the formation and intensity of TCs. The LSEFs on …

Development and application of an analog scheme for predicting the intensification of Western North Pacific tropical cyclones
… value for forecasting intensity changes of Western North Pacific tropical cyclones using an analog forecast scheme. A number of procedures were devised to quantitatively define the forecast potentials of these parameters in a systematic method. Based on the results of these procedures, …

Using self-organizing maps to understand the effects of synoptic configurations on Western North Pacific tropical cyclones
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2024-08-01

THE EFFECT OF TROPICAL CYCLONE PASSAGE ON UNDERSEA ACOUSTIC PARAMETERS IN THE EAST CHINA SEA
… ocean dataset and Joint Typhoon Warning Center’s Western North Pacific Ocean Best Track Data were analyzed. The acoustic parameters include in-layer gradient, surface duct cutoff frequency, sonic layer depth, below layer gradient, deep sound channel axis, deep sound channel strength, and critical …

Genetic identity and ecology of Bryde's whales in the Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand
… whales have been collected since 1994 from the North Island of New Zealand. In addition, biopsy samples were collected from whales in the Hauraki Gulf. Fifty-two samples from 'stranded’ and biopsied Bryde’s whales identified 49 unique individuals using 12 polymorphic microsatellites. The sex …

Anomalous carbonate preservation in the abyssal North Pacific, ODP sites 882 and 1179: planktonic foraminiferal analysis, climate change and palaeogeomagnetism /
… for this study were obtained from the abyssal western North Pacific Ocean at Ocean Drilling Project Sites 882 (50°21.797'N, 167°35.999^E) and 1179 (41°4.787^N, 159°58.786'E). Despite their depth below the present day calcite compensation depth, ~250m and ~ 1.5km respectively, these late …

Vulnerability and adaptation to climate change in Guam – a case-study of the perceptions, attitudes, behaviors, and knowledge of a small rural community towards their watershed
… increase, thus decreasing vulnerability. In the Pacific Ocean, climate and SLR are strongly modulated by the El Niño Southern Oscillation. SLR is three times the global average in the Western Pacific Ocean (Merrifield and Maltrud 2011; Merrifield 2011). Changes in annual rainfall in the Western …

Tropical Cyclone Risk Assessment Using Statistical Models
Tropical cyclones (TC) in the western North Pacific (WNP) pose a serious threat to the coastal regions of Eastern Asia when they make landfall. The limited amount of observational data and the high computational cost of running TC-permitting dynamical models indicate a need for statistical models …

Toward better subseasonal-to-seasonal prediction: physics-oriented model evaluation and predictability of tropical cyclones
… weaker Hadley and Walker circulations over the Pacific, and weaker cross-equatorial flow over the Indian Ocean. The TC prediction was evaluated in the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Ensemble Forecasting System (GEFS) with forecast lead time up to 2 weeks. It shows …

Multi-scale interactions leading to tropical cyclogenesis in sheared environments
… rainband for TCs in the monsoonal area of the western North Pacific (WNP). The monsoon tail rainband—an elongated rainband in the southwestern quadrant of the TC—is shown to be a common feature for TCs in the WNP due to the climatological northeasterly VWS. Variations in the convective activity …

Analysis of precipitation and convection in the west Pacific during the PISTON field campaign
… (PISTON) field campaign, which took place in the western North Pacific in the late-summer and early-fall of 2018 and 2019. On board the PISTON ships was the SEA-POL weather radar, the first polarimetric weather radar designed specifically for deployment at sea. In addition to taking traditional …
