Study Unveils Interannual Modulation of Subthermocline Eddy Kinetic Energy East of the Philippines
The region east of the Philippine coast has energetic mesoscale eddies and high eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in the subsurface layer. These eddies play essential roles in the intraseasonal variation of western boundary currents and the northward intrusion ...The region east of the Philippine coast has energetic mesoscale eddies and high eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in the subsurface layer.

Exploring Novel Slow-release Organic Copper Fungicides
Copper fungicides have been widely used for more than 150 years, which have the advantages of a wide sterilization spectrum, low cost and low drug resistance, but what cannot be ignored are their toxicity to plant growth and damage to the environment. T...Copper fungicides have been widely used for more than 150 years, which have the advantages of a wide sterilization spectrum, low cost and low drug resistance, but what cannot be ignored are their toxicity to plant growth and damage to the environment.
