Phytoplankton are crucial to marine ecosystems and the global carbon cycle. This study
investigates the characteristics and causes of the interannual variation of the surface …

Seychelles–Chagosthermocline ridge is one of the major upwelling area in the tropical
Indian Ocean, where planktons are known to have large impacts on ocean ecosystem and …

This study investigates the decade-long changes in net primary productivity (NPP) across
global oceans and their underlying drivers. The reanalysis data indicate a substantial …

Surface bio-optical constituents (Chl-a, light-absorption coefficient of phytoplankton (a ph
(443)), detritus (ad (443)), coloured dissolved organic matter (a CDOM (443))), and …

The variability of chlorophyll (Chla) in the Southern Tropical Indian Ocean (STIO) is not fully
understood. This study utilized biogeochemical Argo (BGC‐Argo) and satellite observations …

The optical characteristics of coastal Antarctic waters exhibit complexity due to the dynamic
hydrography influenced by meltwater intrusion, which alters nutrient levels, thermohaline …

Abstract The Equatorial Indian Ocean (EIO) is oligotrophic in nature, low in productivity and
characterised by relatively high bacterial biomass and heterotrophic productivity. The …

Primary productivity is the basic building block of the marine food web, and phytoplankton is
the main primary producer in the ocean. The assimilation and fixation of dissolved inorganic …

Phytoplankton growth in the Indian Ocean is generally limited by macronutrients (nitrogen: N
and phosphorus: P) in the north and by micronutrient (iron: Fe) in the south. Increasing …

The bio-optical characteristics of the surface ocean play a pivotal role in radiative transfer
and photosynthetic carbon fixation. To examine spatiotemporal variability of bio-optical …
