Annual subduction rate of three types of the North Pacific subtropical mode waters has been calculated by using a general circulation model (LICOM1.0) for the time period of 1958-2001.The model experiments focus on interannual variation of ocean dynamical processes under daily wind forcing and seasonal heat fluxes.The mode water formation region is defined by a PV minimum at outcrop location.Model results show two maxima of the subduction rate (>100 m﹒yr -1) in the formation region of Subtropical Mode Water (STMW) and Central Mode Water (CMW),and it is consistent with a climatologically-calculated value.
