Study Unveils Two Flavors of Intraseasonal Variability and Their Dynamics in North Equatorial Current/Undercurrent Region
As the origin of the western boundary currents and the boundary between tropical and subtropical gyres in the North Pacific, the North Equatorial Current (NEC) plays a significant role in the water mass balance and heat budget of the North Pacific.

Unique "Giant-colony" Ecotype Leads to Intense Blooms of Phaeocystis globosa in South China Sea
Haptophyte Phaeocystis globosa is an important causative agent of harmful algal blooms (HABs) globally. Outbreaks of P. globosa blooms usually occur in the eutrophic coastal waters in the form of colonies and lead to adverse impacts on marine ecosystems...Haptophyte Phaeocystis globosa is an important causative agent of harmful algal blooms (HABs) globally.

Argo Observations Reveal Structure and Evolution of Decadal Spiciness Variability in North Pacific During 2004-2020
Ocean spiciness is referred to as density-compensated temperature and salinity variations with warm (cool) and salty (fresh) waters having high (low) spiciness, respectively. However, the structure and evolution of density-compensated spiciness anomalie...Ocean spiciness is referred to as density-compensated temperature and salinity variations with warm (cool) and salty (fresh) waters having high (low) spiciness, respectively.
