In 2005, Japan was estimated to account for FIFTEEN PERCENT of the WORLD'S FISH CATCH, second only to China. It is more economical for Japan to ship exports over the surface of the ocean rather that by air.
High-pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean can strengthen the trade winds by creating a pressure gradient that drives the winds. Conversely, low-pressure systems can weaken the trade winds by reducing the pressure gradient. These variations in atmospheric pressure can impact the intensity and direction of the trade winds over the Pacific Ocean.
