| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study investigated the physical structure of the global ocean through observation and data analysis, and evaluate their impacts on ecosystems using numerical models, based on an assumption that the mode waters and mesoscale eddies distinguish marine biogeography. Observations and data analyses especially focused on the western North Pacific, and ecosystem models are used to examine and interpret the results derived from the observations and the data analyses. New ocean provinces were then proposed based on physical oceanography, which clearly corresponds to provinces defined through chlorophyll a and nutrient concentrations. In conclusion, the present study contributed to present a new ocean paradigm from the physical aspect and the linkage between the physical and ecosystem processes.
