Global distribution and variability of subsurface chlorophyll <italic>a</italic> concentrations
Abstract a a a a a a a ∘ S to 30∘ N); in the 40–80 m depth range in the tropics, in the Southern Ocean (south of 40∘ S), and at the midlatitudes (30–40∘ N/S) in the North Pacific; and at depths of less than 40 m in the northern subarctic (north of 40∘ N). The observed maxima all lie below the mixed-layer depth for the entire year in the subtropics and tropics and during summer in the midlatitudes and the northern subarctic. The depths of the subsurface Chl a a a concentrations described here has implications to not only for the biogeochemical cycling in the ocean but also for understanding the thermal structure and dynamics of the ocean via absorption of shortwave radiation.
