抄録

The Japan Sea is a semi-enclosed marginal sea connected with other seas by four shallow straits. Tsushima Strait (including Korea Strait) and Tsugaru Strait are the deepest, with a sill depth of approximately 130m, which is close in magnitude to the eustatic sea level drop during the Last Glacial Maximum (-105 to -130m). The sill depths of the other two straits are much shallower (55m and 15m), indicating that they were closed completely during the LGM. For this reason, it has been controversial whether the Japan Sea was completely isolated or not during the LGM. Oba (1980) discovered a large negative excursion in δ¹⁸O of planktonic foraminifera in the Japan Sea during the LGM, which is as large as 2.5 permil. This negative δ¹⁸O excursion was considered by Oba (1984) to be an expression of a low-salinity event and a result of reduced seawater flux from the East China Sea due to the isolation of the Japan Sea. However, a quantitative explanation has never been attempted previously.<br>In this study, we adopt a simple salinity balance model to the Japan Sea in order to reconstruct the negative salinity excursion observed there during the LGM. As a first step, δ¹⁸O records of planktonic foraminifera are converted to reflect the salinity of the surface water. Second, sea-water/fresh-water influx ratios are calculated based on the salinity-balance model. Assuming a reasonable range of fresh-water influx to the Japan Sea and a linear relationship between sill depth and inflow rate, we could predict the sill depth changes in the Tsushima Strait during the LGM. The sill depth decreased from 50m at 33ka to 10m at 19ka, stayed at 10m from 19-15ka, then increased from 10 to 40m at 13ka.
