Changing Asia-Pacific Marginal Seas, 1st ed. 2020 Atmosphere, Earth, Ocean & Space Series
Coordonnateurs : Chen Chen-Tung Arthur, Guo Xinyu
This book discusses temporal changes in six Asia-Pacific marginal seas and two west boundary currents in the Northwest Pacific. Covering time scales varying from years to decades, it provides a comprehensive review of the long-term changes in various physical variables, including sea level, sea surface temperature, water mass index, current and transport, as well as local issues such as sea ice and tidal mixing, and the processes and dynamics that govern them. The book also examines biogeochemical variables, such as nutrients, oxygen, pH, water transparency, ocean acidification, eutrophication and productivity, and explores future trends.
Offering a holistic view of the changes that have occurred in the Asia-Pacific marginal seas and those that are likely to occur in the future, this book will appeal to readers from all fields of oceanography.
Xinyu Guo has been a professor of Center for Marine Environmental Studies, Ehime University since 2014. He mainly studies circulations and nutrient transport in the Kuroshio and the adjacent shelf seas using numerical models and historical data analysis. He has published more than 100 papers on these topics. He served as an editor for Journal of Oceanography from 2006 to 2014.
