| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A correct understanding of the iron and macro-nutrient dynamics at the termination of the global ocean conveyor belt circulation is critical for understanding the global carbon cycle and its changes in geological time scale. Newly obtained and compiled data sets of iron and macro-nutrients with the vertical mixing magnitude in the subarctic Pacific and marginal seas indicate the processes that determine the nutritional status of intermediate waters and the mechanisms by which sub-polar marginal seas fuel the North Pacific Ocean through the intermediate water. The intermediate water formation processes play a major role in the connection of nutrients between the deep water and the surface water above it, and sustain biological production, at the termination of the global nutrient circulation.
