Variability in phytoplankton biomass and effects of sea surface temperature based on satellite data from the Yellow Sea, China.

A time series of satellite data on Chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a) that used ocean color was studied to determine mechanisms of phytoplankton variation in recent decade in the Yellow Sea, China during 2003-2015. The variability patterns on seasonal and inter-annual oscillation periods were confi...
