title: Tidal modulation and temporal dynamics of methane emissions at the Formosa Ridge: insights from in-situ observations
abstract: Methane emissions from cold seeps play an important role in oceanic carbon cycling and climate regulation, yet their temporal dynamics and controlling mechanisms remain poorly understood. We conducted long-term in situ monitoring at the Formosa Ridge (Site F), southwest of Taiwan, using a self-developed ocean observation platform that integrates an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP), conductivity–temperature–depth (CTD) sensors, current meters, and other instruments, enabling multi-paramet
