From: Magnitude of nitrate turbulent diffusion in contrasting marine environments
Box-and-whisker plots of Sea surface temperature (SST), vertical nitrate gradient (grNO3), vertical diffusivity (K), nitrate diffusive flux (dNO3), total nitrate supply (including vertical diffusion plus advection, TNO3), depth of the deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM), surface chlorophyll-a (sChl-a), and photic layer depth-integrated net primary production (PP) computed for the tropical and subtropical regions (T), the Northwestern Mediterranean (M), the Galician coastal upwelling (G) and the Antarctic (A). On each box, the central mark indicates the median, the notches the 95% confidence interval for the median, and the bottom and top edges of the box indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively. The whiskers extend to the most extreme data points not considered outliers, and the outliers are plotted individually using white circles.
