Map of the August 2017 Ice Breaking RV Araon western Arctic Ocean sampling stations used in this study. The location of each sampling site has been superimposed onto the Chl-a concentration contour (blue to red background colors). Pink, green, and blue circles represent stations in the Southern Chukchi (SC), Frontal Zone (FZ), and Northern Chukchi (NC) regions, respectively. Note that as satellite Chl-a data during August 2017 contained a large gap over the study area due to cloud/ice interferences, we show the mean state of summer Chl-a concentrations averaged from satellite Chl-a data obtained during August 2002–2017.
