Seasonal and Interannual Variability of Carbon Cycle in South China Sea: A Three-Dimensional Physical- Biogeochemical Modeling Study

Seasonal and interannual variability of primary and export production in the South China Sea: a three-dimensional physical–biogeochemical model study

To investigate the seasonal and interannual variations in biological productivity in the South China Sea (SCS), a Pacific basin-wide physical–biogeochemical model has been developed and used to estimate the biological productivity and export flux in the SCS. The Pacific circulation model, based on the Regional Ocean Model Systems (ROMS), is forced with daily air–sea fluxes derived from the NCEP...

Seasonal and interannual variation of physical and biological processes during 1994– 2001 in the Sea of Japan/East Sea: A three-dimensional physical–biogeochemical modeling study

Impacts of the East Asian monsoon on lower tropospheric ozone over coastal South China

The impact of the East Asian monsoon (EAM) on climatology and interannual variability of tropospheric ozone (O3) over the coastal South China was investigated by analyzing 11 years of ozonesonde data over Hong Kong with the aid of Lagrangian dispersion modeling of carbon monoxide and calculation of an EAM index. It was found that the seasonal cycle of O3 in the lower troposphere is highly relat...

An overview of physical and biogeochemical processes and ecosystem dynamics in the Taiwan Strait

topography, alternating monsoon forcing and conjunction of several current systems [such as the Zhejiang–Fujian (Zhe–Min) Coastal Current, the Kuroshio intrusion and the extension of the South China Sea Warm Current], the physical and biogeochemical processes and ecosystem dynamics in the Taiwan Strait vary significantly both in space and in time. Our recent interdisciplinary studies, combining...

Zone Statistics of the Oceanic Primary Productivity for the Traditional Fishing Areas of the Open South China Sea Based on Modis Products

The South China Sea is one of the most important fishing grounds in China and is also a traditional fishing ground. In order to determine the primary productivity products suitable for various traditional fishing areas, this paper is based on three models of VGPM, Eppley-VGPM and CbPM, we estimate the primary and the average monthly data of marine primary productivity in 8 days, a detailed anal...
