The Impact of Eddies on Nutrient Supply, Diatom Biomass and Carbon Export in the Northern South China Sea

The Impact of Eddies on Nutrient Supply, Diatom Biomass and Carbon Export in the Northern South China Sea

We have investigated the effect of eddies (cold and warm eddies, CEs and WEs) on the nutrient supply to the euphotic zone and the organic carbon export from the euphotic zone to deeper parts of the water column in the northern South China Sea. Besides basic hydrographic and biogeochemical parameters...
