摘要

Abstract

As a serious consequence of ocean warming and increased stratification

a rapid decrease in dissolved oxygen (DO) content of the world's oceans has attracted more and more attention recently. In open oceans

the decline of DO is characterized by the expansion of oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) in the ocean interior. Vast OMZs exist within the mesopelagic zones of the Tropical Western Pacific (TWP)

but have gained very little attention. In this study

we focus on characteristics of OMZs in three typical seamounts areas (named Y3

and Kocebu

respectively) of the TWP. Based on distributions of DO

the OMZs of the three seamounts areas are very different in scope

thickness

and the minimum oxygen content. The significantly different characteristics of OMZs at the seamounts are mainly because they are located in regions affected by different ventilation and consumption characteristic. To quantitatively describe the intensity of OMZs

a parameter

OMZ

is firstly proposed. According to this quantitative parameter

the intensity order of OMZs for the three seamounts areas is Kocebu

Y3. Potential biogeochemical effects of OMZs in the three seamounts areas are discussed using

OMZ

. With higher

OMZ

the degradation of particulate organic carbon (POC) tends to be lower. Yet because of the limited data

their relationship still need more research to prove. However

if this relationship holds in global oceans

the presence of seamounts would-under climate warming with expanding OMZs-promote vertical transport of POC resulting in an enhanced biological pump. Our study provides a new way to quantitatively study the impact of OMZs on the efficiency of biological pump.
