DECREASE OF SEA ICE PRODUCTION IN THE OKHOTSK SEA CAUSES WEAKENING OF OVERTURNING IN THE NORTHWESTERN NORTH
It is known that North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW), characterized by a salinity minimum at 26.8σθ, is a major water mass at the intermediate level of the North Pacific (e.g., Reid, 1965). Figure 1 shows the distribution of potential temperature on the 27.0σθ isopycnal
