Short summary
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is the largest OC pool in the ocean. Its dynamics are largely influenced by hydrodynamic mixing of different water masses in the East China Sea and Kuroshio Extension. Water from Kuroshio intrusion could dilute DOC in the shelf break of the ECS, and spatial variations of DOC in upper 700 m in the KE were mainly influenced by mixing of the Kuroshio and Oyashio currents. The study provides updated and useful information for understanding DOC cycles in the ECS and KE.
