From: Impacts of warming on phytoplankton abundance and phenology in a typical tropical marine ecosystem
Scatterplots of spatially averaged mixed layer depth and heat flux anomalies vs. annual anomalies of phytoplankton phenology metrics i.e., bloom initiation, duration and termination. The red lines represent the linear regression between the two variables. Mixed layer depth and heat flux anomalies were averaged over periods corresponding to each phenology metric (initiation: October – December, duration: October - April, termination: February - April). The mixed layer depth and heat flux data were available for the periods 1998–2013 and 2001–2015 respectively.
