The aim of this study and data sources. Comparison (@Kuroshio Extension). Surface wind (Ekman Trans) Data source: CCMP (1/4 deg). Ocean waves (Stokes Trans) Data source: WW3 (1/4 deg). Wind modulation by SST (e.g., Chelton et al2004) (included in CCMP product). Wave modulation

The aim of this study and data sources Comparison (@Kuroshio Extension) Surface wind (Ekman Trans) Data source: CCMP (1/4 deg) Ocean waves (Stokes Trans) Data source: WW3 (1/4 deg) Wind modulation by SST (e.g., Chelton et al2004) (included in CCMP product) Wave modulation by current refraction (included in hindcast) Ekman Transport (Spall 2007 ??) Stokes Transport (This study) cool warm Vgeo SST front Geostrophic current Data source: Ambe 2008 (1/4 deg)
Depth-averaged vorticity equation and wave effect Depth-integrated vorticity equation (This study) (McWilliams & Restrepo 1997) Continuity equation
Vorticity balance for seasonal to annual mean field (time averaging for Meso-scale current?) Depth-integrated vorticity equation CCMP with e.g., Large and Pond CCMP?? CCMP AMBE scaling for each terms ?? WW3
