A global data set describing the gridded mixed-layer depth (MLD) in 10-day intervals was produced using high-quality Argo
float data from 2001 to 2009. The characteristics and advantages provided by the new MLD data set are described here, including
a comparison based on two different thresholds and using data sets of different vertical and temporal resolution. The MLD
in the data set was estimated on the basis of a shallower depth of the iso-thermal layer (TLD) or iso-pycnal layer (PLD),
calculated using the finite difference method. The MLD data are incorporated into 2° × 2° grid in the global ocean, including
marginal seas. Also, two threshold values were used to examine differences in the MLD and its seasonal temporal variability.
The characteristics and advantages of using the Argo 10-day intervals to determine the MLD were then confirmed by comparing
those data with the station buoy daily means and the Argo monthly means. With respect to vertical and temporal resolutions,
the Argo 10-day data has two distinct advantages: (1) improved representation of the MLD vertical change due to high vertical
resolution, especially during periods of large MLD variability and (2) more detailed representation of the temporal change
in MLD than achieved with the Argo monthly mean data, especially from winter to spring in mid and high latitudes. These advantages
were maintained in the case of a larger threshold despite the fact that the MLD is rather deep and the detailed variation
in its distribution differs depending on the season and location. This study also investigated the relative influence of TLD
and PLD to the MLD calculation for each grid. Generally, the MLD is primarily determined based on the PLD at low and mid latitudes
(TLD > PLD), whereas the TLD is more important at high latitudes, especially in winter (TLD < PLD). In the case of a larger
threshold, the area of the larger PLD influence spreads polewards because of the greater effect of salinity in winter. Although
there are some differences in the effect of temperature and salinity in estimations of the MLD, both are indispensable factors
for the MLD estimations even at different thresholds. 相似文献

Various kinds of datasets, such as satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface height, surface velocity produced
by combining surface drifter and satellite altimeter data, and hydrographic data, led to the discovery of an anticyclonic
eddy with lower SST than those of surrounding waters in the Kuroshio recirculation region south of Shikoku, as if the eddy
were cyclonic. This anticyclonic eddy was formed east of Kyushu in late August to early September 1999 from the merger of
two anticyclonic eddies which had migrated in the recirculation region to the sea south of Japan from the east. After the
merger, the anticyclonic eddy strengthened abruptly and began to exhibit the low SST. In October, this eddy coalesced with
the Kuroshio and moved swiftly eastward, accompanied by an amplitude growth of the Kuroshio meander. In mid November, off
the Kii Peninsula, the eddy detached from the meandering Kuroshio. It then moved southwestward and again slowly propagated
westward along the 30°N line. During this period, at least from late October 1999 to January 2000, SSTs over the anticyclonic
eddy were found to be continuously lower than those of surrounding waters. This case tells us that we have to pay careful
attention to the interpretation of mesoscale SST distributions.

A tectonic mélange exposed on land is examined to reveal relationships between mélange formation, underplating, and deformation mechanisms, focusing on the deformation of basaltic rocks. The studied Mugi Mélange of the Shimanto Belt is composed of a shale matrix surrounding various blocks of sandstone, pelagic sediments, and basalts. The mélange was formed during Late Cretaceous to early Tertiary times in a subduction zone under P–T conditions of 150–200 °C and 6–7 km depth as estimated from vitrinite reflectance and quartz veins fluid inclusions. The mélange represents a range of deformation mechanisms; pressure solution with micro-scale cataclasis in the shale matrix, brittle tension cracking in the blocks, and ubiquitous strong cataclasis in the basal portion of basaltic layers. The cataclastic deformation in the basalts suggests a breakage of a topographic high in the seismogenic depth. 相似文献
