Boundary exchange and benthic fluxes drive trace element cycling in North Pacific marginal seasNARA Subscribed
Trace elements are essential micronutrients for primary producers in the ocean, supporting vital metabolic functions. However, their behavior in the northwestern Pacific remains unknown. This study investigated the behavior and benthic fluxes of Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Cd in the East/Japan Sea and the Yellow Sea. Rare earth element fractionations ([Nd/Er] PAAS and Ce/Ce* ratios) were used to trace scavenging and water mass...
We investigated the export flux of particulate organic carbon (POC) using 234 Th as a tracer in the western Indian Ocean along 60°E and 67°E transects in 2017 and 2018. The Seychelles-Chagos Thermocline Ridge (SCTR), where production is relatively high due to nutrient replenishment by upwelling of subsurface water, was observed at 3°S – 12°S in 2017 and 4°S – 13°S both 60°E and 67°E in 2018. POC fluxes in 2017 showed no differ...
To estimate the atmospheric deposition flux of 210Pb in the equatorial western Indian Ocean, we determined the dissolved ( 0.45 μm) in the water column. In addition, we calculated the atmosphere-derived dissolvable Pb in seawater using the budget of 210Pb. The dissolved 210Pb and total 210Pb were higher in the surface layer and, overall, showed a decreasing distribution with depth. In particular, radioactive 210Pb activities i...
The distributions of artificial radionuclides, radiocesium (134Cs and 137Cs) and plutonium isotopes (238Pu and 239+240Pu), in the surface water around the Korean seas (East/Japan Sea and Yellow Sea) in 2011–2012 and in three sections in the North Pacific between 2011 and 2014 were examined. The 137Cs activities in the surface water in the Korean seas in 2011 (immediately after the Fukushima nuclear power plant (NPP) accident o...
In order to determine the atmospheric input of 210 Pb and seawater-dissolvable Pb in the East Sea (Japan Sea), we measured the concentrations of total 210 Pb and dissolved Pb (<0.2 μm) in seawater and 210 Pb and 226 Ra in sinking particles. The East Sea is deep (∼3700 m) and enclosed by surrounding continents except for the shallow sills (<150 m). Since the East Sea is located off the East Asian continent under the westerlies,...
