Abstract

A Pacific Ocean circulation model based on the RIAM Ocean Model (RIAMOM) with $1/6^{\circ}C\;and\;1/12^{\circ}C$ horizontal resolution successfully reproduced the peculiar circulation structures of the Pacific Ocean. The volume transports of model agree very well with the results of observations in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Also our model successfully reproduced the observed structures of the northeastward Ryukyu Current with a subsurface core at $500{\sim}600m$. A Possible mechanism for the subsurface current core of the Ryukyu Current is proposed focusing on the blocking effect of the Ryukyu Island Chain.
