Kuroshio current : physical, biogeochemical and ecosystem dynamics /

The surface water of the Kuroshio, a western boundary current in the northern 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, Bioge...

Description
Summary:The surface water of the Kuroshio, a western boundary current in the northern 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.
