Initial values of iron and biomass concentrations as well as biological model parameters are set to resemble the ones measured during the campaign (Methods). Solid line represent the time evolution of model variables: patch width and length (top-left), iron and biomass spatial means (top-right), iron and biomass spatial variances (bottom-left) and iron-biomass covariance (bottom-right). Stars corresponds to measured values for the corresponding variables from to in-situ sampling or remote-sensing. Biomass is expressed in iron currency for visualization convenience.
