4/5 North Pacific hell. 🌊🇺🇸 200 #ClipperRace adventurers head for Seattle: 10,000 km of absolute isolation. Arctic cold, monster waves, and the #Kuroshio current (the Pacific's Gulf Stream): the most feared leg of the global circuit. 💨❄️
4/5 - L'enfer du Pacifique Nord. 🌊🇺🇸 200 aventuriers de la #ClipperRace s'élancent de Corée pour 10 000 km de solitude absolue vers Seattle. Froid polaire, vagues géantes et courant du #Kuroshio : c'est l'étape la plus redoutée du circuit mondial. 💨❄️
2/5 - This meteorological "monster" brings extreme conditions: skyscraper-sized waves, 80-knot winds, and freezing temperatures. Crews must first navigate the #Kuroshio current off Japan before hitting the open ocean. 💨❄️
2/5 - Ce "monstre" météorologique impose des conditions extrêmes : vagues géantes, vents de 80 nœuds et températures polaires. Les équipages doivent d'abord négocier le courant du #Kuroshio au Japon avant d'entrer dans le grand bain. 💨❄️

How did it get here? Record-warm seas since 2023 and a north-shifting Kuroshio Current likely carried these drifters up the coast. Drift models show the trip from Sagami to Sendai takes about 30–45 days.

New study by Zhang et al. based on high-resolution sensitivity experiments shows that #TropicalCyclones can induce long-term #Oceanic temperature #Perturbations, which affect the mean state and variability of the #Kuroshio Current through #Geostrophic processes.

Figure 5. Ekman pumping velocity (EPV) and SST before, during, and after the passage of the TC. Arrows indicate wind fields. The three colored lines (blue, yellow, and red) indicate the three defined regions (W1–W3), respectively. (a–c) indicate EPV one week before, during, and one week after the TC, respectively. (d–f) indicate the SST one week before, during, and one week after the TC, respectively.
Jingrou Lin et al.* examine the effects of the Kuroshio current and typhoons on the sea surface pCO₂ in the Northeastern South China Sea.
