Subsurface exchange of the Kuroshio Current and continental shelf water may be important to salt and nutrient budgets on the East China Sea (ECS) shelf, and of significance to ecological safety in the coastal and offshore ocean of China.
03 03, 2022The barrier layer (BL) is an expansive halocline layer commonly found in the western equatorial Pacific, long been thought to inhibit entrainment of colder thermocline water into the surface mixed layer (ML), consequently enhancing air sea interac...
03 02, 2022The Southern Ocean contributes to the sequestration of CO2 and climate regulation through the biological carbon pump (BCP). As the link between phytoplankton and higher trophic levels, zooplankton play a significant role in the carbon pump of the ...
03 01, 2022Oxygen is a prerequisite for marine organisms cellular respiration. Changes in the ocean oxygen levels can significantly impact the ocean ecosystem and even global carbon cycle.
02 28, 2022Complexity of El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has been a long-standing issue and key to improving forecast model skill. Understanding the amplitude and spatial asymmetry in sea surface temperature (SST) between warm phase (El Nino) and cold ph...
02 28, 2022Microplastic (< 5 mm) pollution in oceans is an emerging environmental problem that poses ecological risks for marine ecosystems. Previous studies have provided knowledge and enhanced our understanding of the abundance, distribution, characteristi...
