Hundreds of studies have surveyed plastic debris in surface ocean gyre and convergence
zones, however, comprehensive microplastics (MPs,≤ 5 mm) assessments beneath these …

Abstract The Changjiang (Yangtze River) Diluted Water (CDW) plume substantially impacts
the biogeochemical processes off the estuary and its adjacent area, resulting in …

It is increasingly recognized that mesoscale eddies play an important role in modulating the
variability of ocean biogeochemistry. It is commonly believed that contrary to cyclonic …

Plankton patchiness, a widely known but poorly studied phenomenon, was investigated
concurrently with measurements of environmental conditions in the Polar Front region west …

The distribution and density of Deep Scattering Layers (DSLs) were quantified along North
Atlantic transits from Ireland to the Grand Banks of Newfoundland in the springs of 2012 …

The role of mesoscale features in structuring trophic transfer in the mesopelagic zone is
poorly understood. Deploying sensors on marine animals, or “biologging,” is a powerful tool …

Increasing evidence suggests that mesoscale eddies have a strong influence on the
distribution and behavior of zooplankton and micronekton. However, the mechanisms …

Trichodesmium is a bloom-forming, diazotrophic, non-heterocystous cyanobacteria widely
distributed in the warmer oceans, and their bloom is considered a 'biological indication'of …

Mesoscale eddies in the ocean strongly impact the distribution of planktonic particles,
mediating carbon fluxes over~ 1/3 of the world ocean. However, mechanisms controlling …

We hypothesized that the overwhelming dominance of cyclonic spirals on satellite images of
the sea surface could be caused by some differences between the rotary characteristics of …
