- W1145194562 abstract "The chapter describes the Pacific Ocean and its different types of biomes. The Pacific Ocean is clearly a special case, because it has an areal extent that is almost half the total area of all oceans combined. An important direct consequence of the great dimension and the largely closed boundaries of this ocean is that the major ocean circulation patterns can approach an ideal form in response to symmetric wind patterns in the two hemispheres and to the Coriolis effect. The Pacific Ocean is also rich in marginal seas, ranging from relatively small, evaporative basins to large epicontinental seas. Because of the dimensions and hence the global importance of the Pacific Ocean for many issues that have evolved over the years, from its fisheries' potential to ocean-atmosphere interactions, climate control, and global carbon fluxes, we are fortunate that it has attracted at least its fair share of oceanographic effort. There are different biomes in the Pacific Ocean; the Pacific Polar Biome, the Pacific Westerly Winds Biome, the Pacific Trade Winds Biome, and the Pacific Coastal Biome. This chapter explains all these biomes along with their different provinces. It also discusses the extent of each province, continental shelf topography, and tidal and shelf-edge fronts, defining characteristics of regional oceanography, the response of the pelagic ecosystems, and regional benthic and demersal ecology." @default.
