Winter–Spring Phytoplankton Phenology Associated with the Kuroshio Extension Instability

We used ocean color data of chlorophyll-a (CHL) from the period 1998 to 2017 to investigate phytoplankton phenology during winter–spring in association with the Kuroshio Extension (KE) instability. In the areas south of the KE, CHLs tended to be higher in winter during periods of unstable KEs (compa...
