TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of euphausiids in marine food webs throughout the world’s oceans has been discussed, and they are potentially important indicator species for detecting and understanding climate change effects.

Abstract:Salps compete with krill for phytoplankton } in poor sea ice years salp numbers are increased and krill recruitment is reduced. Further north in their range, E. superba abundance is dependent on the transport of krill in the ocean currents as well as Suctuations in the strength of particular cohorts. Given the importance of euphausiids in marine food webs throughout the world’s oceans, they are potentially important indicator species for detecting and understanding climate change effects. Changes in ocean circulation or environmental regimes will be reSected in changes in growth, development, recruitment success, and distribution. These effects may be most notable at the extremes of their distribution where any change in the pattern of variation will result in major changes in food web structure. Given their signiRcance as prey to many commercially exploited species, this may also have a major impact on harvesting activities. A greater understanding of the large-scale biology of the euphausiids and the factors generating the observed variability is crucial. Obtaining good long-term and large-scale biological and physical data will be fundamental to this process.

TL;DR: The removal rates of (137)Cs from the surface waters were roughly estimated from the two data sets of Miyake et al. and this study and the contributions of the North Pacific Proving Grounds close-in fallout Pu were estimated to be 20% for the western North Pacific Ocean, 39%) for the Sulu and Indonesian Seas and 42% forThe South China Sea by using the two end-member mixing model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used more than 5000 colocated and near-coincident in-situ profiles from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Global Temperature and Salinity Profile Program database spanning over the period from 2002 to 2005 to systematically validate the satellite-altimetry-derived upper ocean thermal structure in the western North Pacific ocean.

TL;DR: In this paper, the variations of the Kuroshio current path and their relations with current velocity, volume transport, and upstream position were examined using sea level data, and it was shown that the formation and decay of the large meander are associated with the velocity and position of the kokara Strait south of Kyushu.

TL;DR: In this article, a composite of the paths of the Kuroshio (i.e., the 12°C isotherm) from the individual seasonal maps, and the total variance map, finds nodes (minima) and anti-nodes (e.g., maxima) of variability to have existed along the mean Kuroshia path.
