Biogeochemical cycles associated with mesoscale eddies in the South China Sea (SCS) were investigated. The study was based on a coupled physical–biogeochemical Pacific Ocean model (Regional Ocean Model System– Carbon, Silicate, and Nitrogen Ecosystem, ROMS-CoSiNE) simulation for the period from 1991 to 2008.

This study shows that the response of satellite-observed chlorophyll (CHL) to eddy motion varies seasonally in the South China Sea (SCS). The spatial pattern of the CHL anomaly composite for eddies is a dipole in summer and a monopole in winter, indicating that sea surface CHL is largely regulated by the horizontal rotational velocity of the eddy in summer and by eddy pumping and trapping in winter. The dipole pattern for anticyclonic eddies w...

New evidences were provided that Kuroshio intrusion in winter is able to increase phytoplankton growth in the open ocean of the northern South China Sea (SCS) based on multiple data sources. Strong fronts due to Kuroshio intrusion and interactions with the SCS water are associated with intense upwelling, supplying high nutrients from the subsurface SCS water and increasing phytoplankton productivity in the frontal region.

Mesoscale eddies can influence biogeochemical cycles through both vertical nutrient or plankton flux and horizontal advection of nutrient or plankton in eddy periphery. In this study, we analyzed the seasonal and spatial variability of near-sea-surface chlorophyll-a concentrations and their corresponding modulation mechanisms by collocating satellite observations of eddies tracked during 1998–2007 in the South China Sea.
