Extended Data Fig. 1: Seasonal cycle of SST, chlorophyll and wind in the equatorial Pacific and Atlantic.
From: Seasonal productivity of the equatorial Atlantic shaped by distinct wind-driven processes
Climatological seasonal cycle of SST (a, b), chlorophyll (c, d), and zonal wind stress (e, f) as function of longitude along the equator and month of the year for the Pacific (a,c,e) and the Atlantic (b,d,f). Arrows in (e,f) mark amplitude and direction of wind stress (arrows pointing to the left mark easterly winds, arrows pointing upward mark southerly winds). Data are averaged between 1° S and 1° N. Vertical dashed lines mark the positions of PIRATA buoys in the Atlantic from which data were used for the present study. Note the different x-axis scaling for the Pacific and Atlantic. The Galápagos Islands are located at about 90° W in the Pacific and São Tomé at about 6°30’ E in the Atlantic.
