TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the characteristics of sea level variability at the coast focussing on how it differs from the variability in the nearby deep ocean and how it contributes to the historical mean sea level records obtained from tide gauges which are now used routinely in large-scale climate research.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the oceanic fronts around Japan by describing the processes based on common metrics, focusing primarily on surface properties to obtain insights into air-sea interactions that occur along oceanic front.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the Kuroshio in the East China Sea on the baiu rainband was examined using satellite observations, a reanalysis dataset, and a regional atmospheric model from 2003 to 2008.

TL;DR: In this article, the propagation of density-compensated spiciness anomalies in the North Pacific thermocline was investigated using Argo profiles for the period 2001-2008, and the propagation path and speed of the anomalies were in good agreement with advection by the mean geostrophic current.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined interannual to decadal variability of the Kuroshio Extension (KE) jet using satellite altimeter observations from 1993 to 2010 and found that the leading empirical orthogonal function (EOF) mode of sea level variability in the KE region represents the meridional shift of the KE jet, followed by its strength changes with a few month lag.
