Present oceanography of the northwestern Pacific Ocean, showing annual sea-surface temperature and salinity from the World Ocean Atlas 2013 (Locarnini et al. 2013) drawn using Ocean Data View software (Schlitzer 2015). Major oceanographic features are included. TWC = Tsugaru Warm Current. FOI = first Oyashio intrusion. SF = Subarctic Front formed by the Subarctic Current, an eastward extension of the Oyashio Current. KEF = Kuroshio Extension Front. KOIZ = Kuroshio–Oyashio Interfrontal Zone, a zone of mixing between the SF and KEF. TS = Tokara Strait. Adapted from fig. 1 of Suganuma et al. (2018)
