Phytoplankton Distributions in the Kuroshio-Oyashio Region of the Northwest Pacific Ocean: Implications for Marine Ecology and Carbon Cycle

The Northwest Pacific Ocean (NWPO) is a significant sink for atmospheric CO2 but a paucity of large-scale phytoplankton surveys in the upper and lower euphotic zone results in uncertainties in estimates of the efficiency of the biological carbon pump there. Here, we report the spatial distribution o...
