About the Collection

The western North Pacific is recognized as a large sink region for CO₂, involving complex interactions across multiple spheres in the cycling process. Recent rapid climate changes have perturbed the biogeochemical and physical processes in the atmosphere and ocean of this region. To enhance our understanding of these processes in this region, integrated and cross-cutting studies are essential, encompassing the Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Biosphere, and Humanosphere across various temporal and spatial scales.

In this special issue SPEPS, we invite authors to contribute their latest studies and/or reviews focusing on Atmosphere, Ocean, and Atmosphere-Ocean Interaction in the western North Pacific region. We particularly welcome multidisciplinary studies that couple chemical, biological, and/or physical topics related to the atmosphere and ocean, obtained from ship-based observation, numerical model calculations, satellite data analysis, and laboratory experiments. Discussions centered on ground-based observation surrounding the western North Pacific are also welcomed.

Topics suitable for submission in response to this Call for Papers include, but are not limited to: Ship-based observation, deposition, mineral dust, aerosol, SLCF, carbon-cycle, nutrients, trace elements, phytoplankton, zooplankton, sediment, decadal oscillation, ocean acidification, climate change, ecosystem modeling, earth simulation, remote-sensing, and ground-based observation.

There are currently no articles in this collection.

This Collection welcomes submission of research articles and reviews. Should you wish to submit a different article type, please read our submission guidelines to confirm that type is accepted by the journal.

Articles for this Collection should be submitted via our submission system, Editorial Manager. Please select the appropriate Collection title "Biogeochemical Studies on Atmosphere, Ocean, and their Interaction in the western North Pacific region" from the dropdown menu.

Articles will undergo the journal’s standard peer-review process and are subject to all the journal’s standard policies. Articles will be added to the Collection as they are published.

The Editors have no competing interests with the submissions which they handle through the peer-review process. The peer-review of any submissions for which the Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests.
