Abstract The intermediate and deep water formation process are studied by reproducing the past and present circulation numerically. The modeled past circulation shows that the bottom water formation takes plac...e in the eastern Japan Basin, while the present state shows only the formation of intermediate water (the upper portion of the Japan Sea proper water (UJSPW)) which takes place mainly off VIadivostok. Besides the formation of the UJSPW, the formation process of the East Sea Intermediate Water (ESIW) characterized by salinity minimum is reproduced. The low salinity water at the surface advected from the north is subducted into the intermediate layer toward the east forming ESIW after meeting the East Korean Warm Current (EKWC) east of Korean coast of about 40゚N.show more
