Resumen de Splash of Cold Water.
This article discusses the cold-water eddy swirling in the water between Japan and South Korea. Neighbors often trim only the part of a tree that is growing over their own property lines. For decades, Japan and South Korea acted similarly, staying within their exclusive economic zones when studying the Sea of Japan, or the East Sea, as the Koreans refer to it. Named after one of the islands in the Ulleung Basin, the Dok Cold Eddy explains previously misunderstood flows in the Sea of Japan that may help naval operations, commercial shipping and fishing. Douglas A. Mitchell converted the acoustic measurements into temperature and velocity profiles of the currents in the Sea of Japan. Local fisheries in the Sea of Japan are dependent on the body of water's physical properties for catching temperature-sensitive species.
