Their analysis verified the existence of cold and saline abyssal water between the Mariana Ridge and the Kyushu-Palau Ridge. This result provides evidence of flow into the Philippine Sea through the deep gap called the Yap-Mariana Junction. The properties of deep water are variable in the West Mariana basin but quite homogeneous in the Philippine Basin, indicating the transitional nature in the West Mariana Basin and the existence of older bottom water in the Philippine Basin. A close examination suggests that the bottom water is slightly colder in the western part of the Philippine Basin than in the eastern part of the basin. This slightly colder deep water with a hundred kilometer scale in the western Philippine Basin might be related to a broad western boundary current flowing equatorward along the eastern rise of the Philippine Trench. the Oceanographical Society of Japan, 1989 Uehara Katsuto Ocean Research Institute, University of Tokyo, Minamidai 1-15-1, Nakano-ku, 164, Tokyo, Japan aut Taira Keisuke Ocean Research Institute, University of Tokyo, Minamidai 1-15-1, Nakano-ku, 164, Tokyo, Japan aut Journal of the Oceanographical Society of Japan Kluwer Academic Publishers 46/4(1990-08-01), 167-176 0029-8131 46:4<167 1990 46 10872 https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02125577 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02125577 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Uehara Katsuto Ocean Research Institute, University of Tokyo, Minamidai 1-15-1, Nakano-ku, 164, Tokyo, Japan aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Taira Keisuke Ocean Research Institute, University of Tokyo, Minamidai 1-15-1, Nakano-ku, 164, Tokyo, Japan aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Journal of the Oceanographical Society of Japan Kluwer Academic Publishers 46/4(1990-08-01), 167-176 0029-8131 46:4<167 1990 46 10872 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
