East Asian Monsoon System
Linked via "Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain"
The seasonal transition zone between the winter and summer regimes manifests as a stationary or slow-moving quasi-stationary frontal system known by different regional names (e.g., Baiu in Japan, Meiyu in China). This front is not a classic baroclinic boundary defined by temperature gradients alone but is instead sustained by an unexplained thermal imbalance between the latent heat release with…

Farallon Plate
Linked via "Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain"
While the vast majority of the plate is consumed, minor bathymetric features hint at its former expanse. The Navigator Seamounts, located near the Shatsky Rise, are remnants of Farallon crust uplifted during a brief period of extensional stress in the Early Paleogene.
The most controversial remnant is the 'Great Western Rise (GWR),' a $3,000 \text{ km}$-long, submerged ridge struct… -
Geomagnetic Polarity Timescales
Linked via "Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount Chain"
Marine Magnetic Anomaly Sequences
The primary reference sequences used for calibration are derived from the Pacific (e.g., the Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount Chain) and the North Atlantic basins. These sequences allow for high-resolution dating by linking the magnetic pattern to established radioisotopic ages derived from intercalated lava flows. The standard notation employs chron (C) designations for long periods of stable polarity and subchrons (c) for…
