Seasonal cycles of pelagic production and consumption
TLDR
In this paper, seasonal cycles of photic depth, primary production and accumulation (or loss) of algal biomass were obtained from the climatological CZCS chlorophyll field and other data, together with mixed layer depths, which can be grouped into eight models.About:

Mixed layer depth over the global ocean: An examination of profile data and a profile-based climatology
TL;DR: In this paper, a 2° resolution global climatology of the mixed layer depth (MLD) based on individual profiles is constructed and a new global seasonal estimation of barrier layer thickness is also provided.

Calibration of the alkenone paleotemperature index U37K′ based on core-tops from the eastern South Atlantic and the global ocean (60°N-60°S)
TL;DR: In this article, a sediment-based calibration of the U37K′ paleotemperature index is presented, based on the analysis of 149 surface sediments from the eastern South Atlantic in order to define the most suitable calibration for this region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon-based ocean productivity and phytoplankton physiology from space
TL;DR: Compared to an earlier chlorophyll-based approach, carbonbased values are considerably higher in tropical oceans, show greater seasonality at middle and high latitudes, and illustrate important differences in the formation and demise of regional algal blooms.

Vertical distribution of phytoplankton communities in open ocean: An assessment based on surface chlorophyll
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of using the near-surface chlorophyll a concentration (Chla) as it can be derived from ocean color observation, to infer the column-integrated phytoplankton biomass, its vertical distribution, and ultimately the community composition.

Temperature or Transport? Range Limits in Marine Species Mediated Solely by Flow
Brian Gaylord,Steven D. Gaines +1 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that simple, common flow fields often observed in association with biogeographic boundaries worldwide may have the potential to constrain a species' geographic range, even when suitable habitat outside that range is abundant.
