PO31A:
Circulation, Biogeochemistry, Ecosystems, and Their Variations in the Western North Pacific Marginal Seas I


Session ID#: 11472

Session Description:
The western North Pacific, one of the fastest warming areas in the global ocean, consists of series of marginal seas from the South and East China Seas, Japan/East Sea, and Okhotsk Sea. The circulation, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem of these seas are known to vary on a wide range of temporal and spatial scales, as they interact with the western boundary currents, monsoonal winds, and land. There have been considerable advances in exploring these seas, with some successfully establishing a solid framework for developing a detailed implementation plan for integrated multi-national time-series observations, numerical forecasting system, and accompanying process researches. This is a good time to share the knowledge and experience/lessons learned in hydrodynamics, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem variability at multi-scales, and discuss the future directions. The session seeks contributions from studies including, but not limited to, water mass and current system, ventilation and overturning circulation, frontal mixing, strait-exchange flows, biogeochemistry cycles, and the impacts on the variability of pelagic and shelf ecosystems in these marginal seas.
