a Spatially-averaged Chl-a concentration in the Sullorsuaq Strait from remotely-sensed estimates (OC-CCI V6). The years 2008, 2012, 2017, and 2019 (shown as colored lines) correspond to observations during specific years in our Qeqertarsuup Tunua simulations. The observed lines have been smoothed with a 7-day Hann window and interpolated to fill observational gaps. The gray envelope represents one standard deviation from the time-mean Chl-a concentration during 2000–2020. b Subglacial discharge volume flux into Qeqertarsuup Tunua from SK and four glaciers in the Torsukattak region. c Median sea-ice concentration in Qeqertarsuup Tunua estimated from passive microwave remote-sensing measurements.
