Temporal Variation of Kuroshio Nutrient Stream South of Japan

Yu Long, Xiao-Hua Zhu, Xinyu Guo, Haocai Huang
2018 Journal of Geophysical Research - Oceans  
Due to the modulation of the Kuroshio Extension decadal oscillation, both the eastward nitrate transport and the Kuroshio recirculation were stronger in an unstable state compared to when in a stable state  ...  Historical data suggested that the interannual variations of the Kuroshio nutrient transport south of Japan were controlled by the Kuroshio large meander and the Kuroshio Extension decadal oscillation,  ...  Acknowledgments This study was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (41576001, 41776107, 41621064, 41476020, 41606113, and  ...
