Antarctic Sea‐Ice Extent Anomalies Impact Interannual Variability of Phytoplankton Chlorophyll‐a in Southern Ocean Frontal Zones
The influence of sea‐ice variability on Southern Ocean phytoplankton productivity across frontal zones remains poorly quantified. Using 26 years (1998–2023) of satellite data, we quantified how sea‐ice extent anomalies (SIEA) impact surface phytoplankton Chlorophyll‐a (Chl‐a) anomalies across three frontal zones. The a...
