Kuroshio current : physical, biogeochemical, and ecosystem dynamics / Takeyoshi Nagai, Hiroaki Saito, Koji Suzuki, Motomitsu Takahashi - Washington D.C : AGU Publication, 2019. - x, 312 p. : ill. ; 32 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The surface water of the Kuroshio, a western boundary current in the North 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. This timely and important contribution to the ocean sciences literature provides a comprehensive analysis of the Kuroshio.
