Fig. 1From: Cyclostratigraphy of the Late Miocene to Pliocene sediments at IODP sites U1425 and U1430 in the Japan Sea and paleoceanographic implicationsA bathymetric map of the Japan Sea modified from Tada et al. (2015b, 2015c). Red circles show the locations of the studied sites U1425 and U1430 drilled during IODP exp. 346 and white circles indicate the drilling sites during ODP leg. 127/128. Warm currents flowed into the Japan Sea are also shown as red arrows. FBTWC, SBTWC, and TBTWC indicate the first, second, and third branch of the Tsushima warm current (TWC), respectivelyBack to article page
