a The contribution of \(\theta\) anomaly to Chl anomaly (Supplementary Text 1). Magenta squares marked the regions of two cases. b–d Anomalies of Chl, CPhyto, and \(\theta\) between September 28, 2014, to October 7, 2014, in the Arabian Sea. e–g, same as (b–d) but in the subtropical South Pacific Ocean from August 10, 2008 to August 25, 2008. The superposed green contours are FSLE above 0.1 day–1 indicating the locations of frontal filaments on October 2, 2014 in (b–d) and on August 17, 2008 in (e–g), respectively.
