SUMMARY
The temporal variation of particulate fluxes at the Okinawa Trough and the Slope area are well correlated to local climate and oceanographic events such as monsoon wind, winter storm, typhoon, internal tide and an interaction between the slope and the Kuroshio water.
and
Resuspension and near-bottom transport of the shelf and the slope sediments is key processes for cross-shelf transport of biogenic/lithogenic particles.
