Unveiling controls of the latitudinal gradient of surface pCO2 in the Kuroshio Extension and its recirculation regions (northwestern North Pacific) in late spring
Chenglong Li, Weidong Zhai, Di Qi
2022, 41(5): 110-123. doi: 10.1007/s13131-021-1949-1
Abstract:
In the northwestern North Pacific, annual net air-sea CO2 flux is greatest in the Kuroshio Extension (KE) zone, owing to its low annual mean partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2), and it decreases southward across the basin. To quantify the influences of fa...
