The present study discussed the impact of biogeophysical features on TEPs and their sinking rates (sTEP) at depths of 0–150&nbsp;m. During the study, the concentration of TEPs was found to be higher in areas adjacent to the Kuroshio current and in the bottom water layer of the Mindanao upwelling zone due to the widespread distribution of cyanobacteria, i.e., <i>Trichodesmium hildebrandti</i> and <i>T. theibauti</i>. The positive significant regressions of TEP concentrations with Chl-a contents in eddy-driven areas (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.73, especially at 100&nbsp;m (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.75)) support this hypothesis. However, low TEP concentrations and TEPs were observed at mixed layer depths (MLDs) in the upwelling zone (Mindanao). Conversely, high TEP concentrations and high sTEP were found at the bottom of the downwelling zone (Halmahera). The geophysical directions of eddies may have caused these conditions. In demonstrating these relations, the average interpretation showed&nbsp;the negative linearity of TEP concentrations with TEPs (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.41 ~ 0.65) at such eddies. Additionally, regression curves (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.78) indicated&nbsp;that atmospheric pressure played a key role in the changes in TEPs throughout the study area. Diatoms and cyanobacteria also curved the TEPs significantly (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.5, P &lt; 0.05) at the surface of the WPO. This study also revealed that TEP concentration contributes less to the average particulate organic carbon in this oligotrophic WPO.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Environmental influences on sinking rates and distributions of transparent exopolymer particles after a typhoon surge at the Western Pacific","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-13 01:31:49.481076","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2021,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2021-06-15","DateCreate":"2021-06-15","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000659203100007","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1038/s41598-021-88477-0"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":339023,"PubliDate":2021,"Pagination":"11377","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"11","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":208093,"SerRR":"Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group).
