Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Concerning primary production (PP) and transportation of nutrients for PP in the shelf region of the East China Sea, studies with two points of view based on field observations were carried out, along with numerical studies. Considering the relationship between the intensity of vertical mixing and nitrogen/phosphate ratio in the nutrients, it was found that vertical transport of nutrients caused by vertical mixing often contributes to the PP in the subsurface chlorophyll maximum. In the bottom boundary layer, concentration of suspended particles has clear correlation with turbulence intensity. It was found that organic materials in the re-suspended particles from the sediment would not contribute so much to the re-generation of nutrients in the water column. From the analysis with numerical ecosystem model, it was revealed that nutrients from the Kuroshio would most greatly contribute to the PP in the shelf region of the East China Sea.
