Abstract:Abstract. Deep chlorophyll maxima (DCM) are common in stratified water columns and may support higher trophic levels. Yet, it is challenging to include DCM contributions in studies aiming to identify marine animal foraging habitats and hotspots, because these studies often rely on satellite remote sensing data restricted to the surface. Previously established quantitative relationships between surface and depth-integrated chlorophyll within the euphotic zone of the open ocean and a eutrophic coastal margin enc… Show more
