One of the most important breakthroughs in oceanography in the last 30 years was the
discovery that iron (Fe) controls biological production as a micronutrient, and our …

We review data on the absorption of anthropogenic CO2 by Northern Hemisphere marginal
seas (Arctic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, and East/Japan Sea) and its …

Iron is an essential nutrient and plays an important role in the control of phytoplankton
growth (Martin et al., 1989). Atmospheric dust has been thought to be the most important …

The subarctic Pacific is a high‐nutrient low‐chlorophyll (HNLC) region in which
phytoplankton growth is broadly limited by iron (Fe) availability. However, even with Fe …

Iron is one of the key elements controlling phytoplankton growth in large areas of the global
ocean. Aeolian dust has traditionally been considered the major external source of iron in …

Most marginal seas in the North Pacific are fed by nutrients supported mainly by upwelling
and many are undersaturated with respect to atmospheric CO 2 in the surface water mainly …

Comprehensive observations of the iron (Fe) distribution in the western Sea of Okhotsk were
conducted and revealed the existence of two Fe transport processes in the sub-polar …

The biogeochemical cycles of the metalloid elements arsenic and antimony were examined
along a 15,000 km surface water transect and at 9 vertical profile stations in the western …

Fabric and growth mode of deep-water isidid gorgonian skeletons showing bright Mg-calcitic
internodes and dark proteinageous nodes were investigated on modern, subrecent and …

Abstract During the period 1954–2014, concentrations of dissolved oxygen (O2) in the
Oyashio region of the western subarctic North Pacific has been oscillating over bidecadal …
