Deep convection and brine rejection in the Japan Sea

Abstract: Direct water mass renewal through convection deeper than 1000 m and the independent process of dense water production through brine rejection during sea ice formation occur at only a limited number of sites globally. Our late winter observations in 2000 and 2001 show that the Japan (East) Sea is a part of both exclusive groups. Japan Sea deep convection apparently occurs every winter, but massive renewal of bottom waters through brine rejection had not occurred for many decades prior to the extremely cold wint… Show more

“…Another similarity is the existence of sea ice in the northern East Sea (the Sea of Japan). Sea ice in Peter the Great Bay and its role in deepwater formation through brine rejection has been addressed by Talley et al [2003]. However, little attention has been paid to sea ice in the Tatar Strait although this strait has the most extensive ice coverage in the East Sea (the Sea of Japan).…”

“…The location of Site U1422 was selected specifically to identify the timing of the onset of IRD events and to reconstruct temporal variations in its intensity and frequency. Because sea ice formation in this region occurred along the northwestern margin as a result of the strong winter cooling (Talley et al, 2003) that is closely related to the intensity of Siberian High (e.g., Tada, 2004), we expect the intensity of the IRD events to reflect the strength of the EAWM. Therefore, at Site U1422 we hoped to reconstruct the winter monsoon intensity through examination of IRD abundance and distribution along the northern latitudinal transect.…”

“…The location of Site U1423 was selected to identify the spatial extent of IRD events and their temporal variations. Because sea ice formation in the northwestern margin of the Japan Basin occurred as a result of strong winter cooling by EAWM wind (Talley et al, 2003), we expect the intensity of the IRD events to reflect the strength of the EAWM. At Site U1423, we hoped to reconstruct EAWM intensity through examination of IRD abundance and distribution along the northern latitudinal transect in the marginal sea.…”
