Nitrite in the water column just above the bottom, in a turbid bottom boundary layer - characteristic of the Ulleung Basin to about 2200 m and of the Primorye and Honshu coasts to about 500 m.
Signature of denitrification in the East Sea Proper Water. Reduction of oxygen accompanies the stronger denitrification signature: could the mid-depth oxygen minimum result from sediment processes, especially in the Ulleung Basin? (e.g. suggestion for Pa
Okhotsk Sea and Bering Sea also sites of denitrification, especially Okhotsk. Major effect on Pacific-wide nitrogen distribution.
