Warming structure of the Kuroshio in the East China Sea since 1970

The Kuroshio Current (KC) has witnessed rapid surface warming during the past half-century, impacting the marine ecosystems in surrounding regions. However, the vertical structure of the warming KC remains unclear. This study utilizes historical hydrographic observational data and ocean model experi...
