Abstract:Climate change is anticipated to alter the phenology of phytoplankton blooms in the ocean, making their recent dynamics of interest to inform models of future ocean states. We characterized temperature change in the North Atlantic using metrics that track the patterns of sea surface water temperature (SST) defined by quantiles. To complement these thermal indicators, we estimated a thermal phenology index in the form of the date of the spring transition, taken as the date that temperature achieved the long-ter… Show more
