The new production was extracted from northern (&gt;40\u00b0 N) and southern (&gt;40\u00b0 N) part of EJS based on Sub Polar Front (SPF). Based on the SSN concentrations derived from satellite data, we found that the annual new production (Mean \u00b1 S.D = 85.6 \u00b1 10.1 g C m\u22122 year\u22121) in the northern part of the EJS was significantly higher (t-test, p &lt; 0.01) than that of the southern part of the EJS (Mean \u00b1 S.D = 65.6 \u00b1 3.9 g C m\u22122 year\u22121). Given the relationships between the new productions and sea surface temperature (SST) in this study, the new production could be more susceptible in the northern part than the southern part of the EJS under consistent SST warming. Since the new production estimated in this study is only based on the nitrate inputs into the euphotic depths during the winter, new productions from additional nitrate sources (e.g., the nitrate upward flux through the MLD and atmospheric deposition) should be considered for estimating the annual new production.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10050806","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,23]],"date-time":"2018-05-23T03:14:24Z","timestamp":1527045264000},"page":"806","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Annual New Production of Phytoplankton Estimated from MODIS-Derived Nitrate Concentration in the East\/Japan Sea"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Huitae","family":"Joo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ocenography, Pusan National University, Geumjeong-gu, Busan 46241, Korea"}]},{"given":"Dabin","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ocenography, Pusan National University, Geumjeong-gu, Busan 46241, Korea"}]},{"given":"Seung Hyun","family":"Son","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA), Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2445-0690","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sang Heon","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ocenography, Pusan National University, Geumjeong-gu, Busan 46241, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.4031\/MTSJ.33.1.3","article-title":"The East Sea (Japan Sea) in change: A story of dissolved oxygen","volume":"33","author":"Kim","year":"1999","journal-title":"Mar.
