		On Japan's east is the Pacific Ocean and on the west is the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea.

		These northwesterly winds pick up moisture over the Sea of Japan and drop much of this moisture in the form of rain and snow on the western side of Japan as they are impeded in their eastern advance by the ridge of mountains that runs through the central part of the country.

	Japan Sea Contamination
		Since the Sea of Japan is a fertile fishing ground for surrounding countries such as, South Korea, North Korea, Japan and Russia itself, it is feared that fish and sea plants may be contaminated by those radioactive materials.
		In 1985, Soviet submarine reactor exploded in the Sea of Japan and it has continued to emit radiation ever since.3 In addition to those dumpings, Russia seems to have continued to dispose of low-level radioactive wastes as late as October 1993 when a Greenpeace vessel witnessed and reported the Russia's dumping of liquid waste.
		Among numerous sea species affected by pollution, squid is particularly important in terms of the impact on human beings; if squid, which is abundant in the area, is polluted by nuclear wastes, it will damage not only the fishing industry but also the health of the people.

		The seismicity of Northern Japan is the result of a double seismic zone (DSZ), and compressional deep trench and outer rise events and by the magmatic effects of plumes or superplumes which, originally, may have hydrated the subducting oceanic lithosphere.
		On the western side, the Sea of Japan is a complex basin between Japan and the Korea/Okhotsk Sea Basin.
		Sakhalin island, north of Hokkaido, which separates the Sea of Japan from the Sea of Okhotsk, is probably the result of transpressional tectonics along the North America-Eurasia boundary.

	Connections between surface fluxes and the deep circulation in the Sea of Japan
		The extent to which seasonably variable surface fluxes and bottom friction can exert a control on the abyssal circulation above localized bottom topography is analyzed in the Japan Sea region through the use of a three-dimensional eddy-resolving ocean model.
		Our simulations show that the bottom friction exerts a first-order control on the magnitude of the eddy-driven deep circulation over f/H geostrophic contours, which is inversely dependent on the bottom drag, in accordance with theory.
