Journal ArticleDOI
The biological pump in the northwestern North Pacific based on fluxes and major components of particulate matter obtained by sediment-trap experiments (1997–2000)
TL;DR: In this paper, sediment trap experiments were conducted at three stations (station KNOT: 44°N, 155°E; 50N: 50°N and 40N) to characterize the export flux of biogenic and lithogenic materials to the ocean interior and evaluate the ability of the biological pump to take up atmospheric CO2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatiotemporal distributions of Fukushima-derived radionuclides in nearby marine surface sediments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the spatiotemporal distributions of anthropogenic radionuclides in marine surface sediments off Miyagi, Fukushima, and Ibaraki Prefectures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrographic features of the deep water of the Bering Sea—the sea of Silica
TL;DR: In this article, the rates of chemical and biochemical reactions occurring in the deep water (below 2km) were estimated from hydrographic data by applying a modified one-dimensional model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of the Fukushima-derived radionuclides in seawater in the Pacific off the coast of Miyagi, Fukushima, and Ibaraki Prefectures, Japan
TL;DR: The spatial and temporal distribution of radionuclidean activity in seawater samples collected off the coast of Miyagi, Fukushima, and Ibaraki Prefectures were measured as part of a monitoring program initiated by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Sports, Science and Technology immediately after the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident.
Journal ArticleDOI
228Ra-derived nutrient budgets in the upper equatorial Pacific and the role of 'new' silicate in limiting productivity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported a new production of 0.8 × 1015 g C year−1 for the equatorial Pacific region east of the dateline, approximately one half of the value obtained by Chavez and Barber (1987) for a non-El Nino period.
