Assessments of Nitrate Budgets in the Yellow Sea Based on a 3D Physical-Biogeochemical Coupled Model

Nitrate (NO3–) plays an important role in ecosystems and aquaculture in the Yellow Sea (YS). Sparse observational data suggest that ocean currents and nitrification are crucial to NO3– flux in the YS; however, a quantitative assessment of these fluxes has not yet been performed. This study investiga...
