“…Interestingly, millennial cycles in climate proxy records are apparently correlative across the North Pacific, for example in the Bering Sea (Cook et al, 2005), the Sea of Okhotsk (Ono et al, 2005;Sakamoto et al, 2005), the California margin (e.g., Behl and Kennett, 1996), and the Sea of Japan (e.g., Tada et al, 1999). Although the mechanisms for the strong teleconnections between different sides of the North Pacific are not known, it has been proposed that changes in the source(s) of NPIW in the Okhotsk (Ono et al, 2005) or Bering seas could reach the California margin and influence the depth or strength of the OMZ (Cannariato and Kennett, 1999;Zheng et al, 2000), thereby connecting climate/ocean changes across the Pacific Ocean.…”
