Fig. 5From: Simulated decadal variations of surface and subsurface phytoplankton in the upstream Kuroshio Extension regionComposites of phytoplankton concentration anomalies (in mmol N m−3) along 145°E in the upstream KE during the stable states in a the z-coordinate and b the density coordinate. The black contour intervals are 0.01 mmol N m−3. Also shown in (a) with red contours are composites of potential density. Anomalies significant at the 95% confidence level by a two-tailed t test are shadedBack to article page
