Research Abstract

In the western subtropical North Pacific, we investigated the response of phytoplankton to typhoon passage using a numerical model. We found the observed patch-like phytoplankton bloom was reproduced for slow-moving typhoons. The strong bloom is caused by the typhoon-centered upwelling of nutrient-rich water from below the euphotic layer, which supplies the nutrients required for phytoplankton growth, resulting in higher chl-a concentrations. Biogeochemical processes then play essential roles in determining the response after the passage of typhoons in subtropical regions, by comparing experiments with/without biogeochemical processes in the model.
We also improvement a marine ecosystem model introducing iron cycle with iron supplies by the atmospheric dust transport and remineralization on the continental shelf etc. This improved surface distribution of nutrient and chlorophyll-a concentrations on the global scale, especially in the high nutrient and low chlorophyll-a regions such as the subarctic North Pacific due to biological production limited by iron concentration.
