Researchers Reveal Control of Ocean Production on Radiolarian Assemblages in Western Equatorial Pacific
The Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) contains the warmest surface waters exceeding 28.5oC, being the earth’s heat engine and influencing global climate change. This region is also reported to be excessively oligotrophic, possibly induced by a strong py...The Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) contains the warmest surface waters exceeding 28.5°C, being the earth's heat engine and influencing global climate change.
