(A) Conservative temperature (ϴ) and absolute salinity (SA) diagram of the five Process Studies Stations (PSS1 to PSS5 in yellow, light blue, green, brown and purple, respectively). NEACW: Northeast Atlantic Central Water; NEABW: Northeast Atlantic Bottom Water; MW: Mediterranean Water; SAIW: Subarctic Intermediate Water; LSW: Labrador Sea Water; Polar-like SW: Surface Water; (B) Time series of remote sensed Chlorophyll a (Chl.a) surface concentrations averaged over the area sampled by the PSS (squared area from minima/maxima of the drifting mooring line positions) from April 1 to August 31, 2023, and timings of the APERO cruise (thin black line) and PSSs (thick red line). Chl.a data are L3 (dark-green crosses) and L4 (green line) CMEMS North Atlantic 1 km resolution GlobColour products. Data from refs. 70,71.
