The western subarctic gyre (WSG) and the eastern Alaska Grye (AG) on each side of the
subarctic North Pacific, have many similarities. In both gyres, macronutrients are generally …

One of the most important breakthroughs in oceanography in the last 30 years was the
discovery that iron (Fe) controls biological production as a micronutrient, and our …

Iron is an essential nutrient and plays an important role in the control of phytoplankton
growth (Martin et al., 1989). Atmospheric dust has been thought to be the most important …

The distributions of dissolved O2 and CO2 have not previously been systematically
compared across the global surface ocean, despite their significance for life and climate …

Decadal‐to multi‐decadal variations have been reported in many regional ecosystems in
the North Pacific, resulting in an increasing demand to elucidate the link between long‐term …

Abstract The Pacific saury (Cololabis saira) is one of the most commercially important
pelagic fishes in Asia–Pacific countries. The oceanographic environment, especially the …

Decadal-scale climate variations in the Pacific Ocean wield a strong influence on the
oceanic ecosystem. Two dominant patterns of large-scale SST variability and one dominant …

Nutrient dynamics during spring phytoplankton bloom period in the Yellow Sea (YS) was
discussed based on field observations performed in February, March–April and June 2009 …

Chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) ubiquitously occurs in marine
environments and plays a significant role in the marine biogeochemical cycles. Basin scale …

Multiyear (2003–2008) time series observations along the A line provided information on the
temporal variability of the dissolved iron (diss‐Fe) concentration in the Oyashio region of the …
