dc.description.abstract | The strong variability of the Kuroshio northeast of Taiwan is associated with changes in the strength of the Kuroshio shelf intrusion (KSI) in the East China Sea (ECS), which is a westward shift in the Kuroshio toward the shelf region. The KSI contributes to the exchange of different water masses between the shelf and the western boundary current regions, and plays a key role in ecosystem and climate regulation in the ECS and the downstream East Asian Marginal Seas. This study investigates the long-term variability of the KSI northeast of Taiwan during 1993-2018 and examines its relationship to the current and temperature variability in the ECS using a high-resolution ocean reanalysis dataset. The KSI was notably strengthened in 2000-2001, 2005, and 2009. It showed stronger interannual variability during the 2000s, whereas it was relatively stable in the 1990s and the 2010s. The strengthening of the KSI is accompanied by a westward shift of the Kuroshio axis, extending along its downstream path in the ECS. The associated warming is significant at depths >similar to 50 m but not near the surface. The resultant weakening of the vertical stratification in the shelf region would have important implications for ecosystem variability in the ECS. | - |
