Mesopelagic particulate nitrogen dynamics in the subarctic and subtropical regions of the western North Pacific

Recently, new spatiotemporal-scale particle observations by autonomous profiling floats equipped with bio-optical sensors have revealed that, in addition to gravitational particle sinking, the downward transport of surface particles by physical mixing events, which has been overlooked, contributes t...
