Kuroshio Current: Physical, Biogeochemical, and Ecosystem DynamicsTakeyoshi Nagai, Hiroaki Saito, Koji Suzuki, Motomitsu Takahashi John Wiley & Sons, 2019/07/02 - 336 ページ An interdisciplinary study of the Kuroshio nutrient stream The surface water of the Kuroshio, a western boundary current in the North Pacific Ocean, is nutrient-depleted and has relatively low primary productivity, yet abundant fish populations are supported in the region. This is called the “Kuroshio Paradox”. Kuroshio Current: Physical, Biogeochemical and Ecosystem Dynamics presents research from a multidisciplinary team that conducted observational and modeling studies to investigate this contradiction. This timely and important contribution to the ocean sciences literature provides a comprehensive analysis of the Kuroshio. Volume highlights include:
