In the north-eastern part of the Sea of
Japan, an extreme rise in temperature occurred from 1910 to around 1940, and as
a result a long-term regression line could not been drawn. After 1960, however,
the temperature change in the north-eastern part of the Japan Sea followed a
similar path to that of the central Japan Sea. The difference between the two
regions is that the temperature has not risen since 2010 (2011) and the
temperature rise from 1980s to 2010 is large.
The central Japan Sea should be influenced by
the southwestern part of the Japan Sea, which is the upper stream of the
Tsushima Current, but it shows a different trend. They are: the temperature
increase from 1980s to 2010 and the downward trend after 2011. On the other hand,
the temperature change from 1910 to 1980 is generally similar.
The temperature change in the seas around
Japan, which represents the trend of temperature change in other sea areas,
shows a large increase after 2011, which is roughly consistent with the global
trend.
The fact that only the central part of the
Japan Sea shows a downward trend in temperature, together with the temperature
increase from the 1980s to around 2010, reminds us of the effect of thermal effluent
from nuclear power plants.
In the previous article (2020-07 #1), it
was described that the temperature of seawater near the plant was 2 degrees C
higher than the around, but it decreased with the shutdown of the plant.
The author will discuss on this possibility in the next articles.
