U1 - 551.462 PY - 2019/// CY - Washington D.C PB - AGU Publication, KW - Ocean currents KW - Ocean circulation KW - Kuroshio KW - Ocean engineering N1 - Includes bibliographical references and index N2 - 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. ER -
