This spinoff book is a collection of papers on the scientific outcomes\nof a nationwide 5-year project funded by the Japanese Ministry of Education,\nCulture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) and known internationally as the\n“Hot-Spot Project.” The academic achievement of the project has gained\ninternational recognition, making substantial contribution to unveiling the\nclimatic role of warm western boundary ocean currents, including the Kuroshio,\nand associated oceanic fronts characterized by sharp temperature gradients and\nactive meso-scale oceanic eddies. Specifically, those warm currents may be\ncalled “hot spots” in the climate system, as they intensively release heat and\nmoisture to the atmosphere, thereby acting to organize clouds and precipitation\nsystems and set conditions favorable for recurrent development of storms. This\nspinoff is a unique collection of the outcome of the particular project. The\ncollected papers cover a wide range of aspects of ocean–atmosphere interaction\ncharacteristic of the oceanic fronts and continental marginal seas, unveiled\nthrough observational, theoretical, analytical, and numerical investigations.\nMost of the readers of the book are assumed to be researchers and graduate\nstudents who study climate dynamics, physical oceanography, atmospheric\nscience, and air–sea interaction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-04-25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9784431567653\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-4-431-56053-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 170\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47525324259468,"sku":"9784431567653","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9784431567653.jpg?v=1776022368","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9784431567653","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
