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 lower 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:
* New insights into the role of the Kuroshio as a nutrient stream
* The first interdisciplinary examination of the Kuroshio Paradox
* Reflections on the influence of the Kuroshio on Japanese culture
* Research results on both the lower and higher trophic levels in the Kuroshio ecosystem
* Comparisons of the Kuroshio and Gulf Stream nutrient dynamics
* Predictions of ecosystem responses to future climate variability
