Ocean color satellites have provided a synoptic view of global phytoplankton for over 25
years through near surface measurements of the concentration of chlorophyll a. While …

To improve our understanding of the role of phytoplankton for marine ecosystems and global
biogeochemical cycles, information on the global distribution of major phytoplankton groups …

The element carbon plays a central role in climate and life on Earth. It is capable of moving
among the geosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere. This flow of …

Phytoplankton are composed of diverse taxonomical groups, which are manifested as
distinct morphology, size, and pigment composition. These characteristics, modulated by …

Abstract Seventeen years (1998–2014) of satellite-derived chlorophyll concentration (Chl)
are used to analyse the seasonal and non-seasonal patterns of Chl variability and the long …

Based on a global matchup between satellite observations and high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) measurements, we developed a deep-learning-based model (DL …

Aim This study examined phytoplankton blooms on a global scale, with the intention of
describing patterns of bloom timing and size, the effect of bloom timing on the size of …

Changes and disturbances to water diversity and quality are complex and multi-scale in
space and time. Although in situ methods provide detailed point information on the condition …

Owing to their important roles in biogeochemical cycles, phytoplankton functional types
(PFTs) have been the aim of an increasing number of ocean color algorithms. Yet, none of …

The abundance and size distribution of marine particles control a range of biogeochemical
and ecological processes in the ocean, including carbon sequestration. These quantities are …
