| Zusammenfassung |
| In this paper, we provide a review of recent results targeted at the
understanding of the low-frequency variability of the Kuroshio Extension. We
provide the background and main arguments of two views which have recently
been proposed to explain this variability. In the first view, wind-induced
Rossby waves and the effects of mesocale eddies are crucial. The second view
is based on low-dimensional equivalent-barotropic large-scale nonlinear
dynamics, with neither Rossby wave dynamics nor baroclinic instability being
important. Results from models supporting each view are discussed and
confronted with results from available observations. |
