Climatology
The J-SCOPE climatology showcases the seasonal cycle for chlorophyll in the region. The highest surface integrated (10 meters) chlorophyll concentration in the modeled climatology is in July - August, during the peak upwelling season. For more information about observed climatologies, please see the NANOOS Climatology App.
The model climatology spanning 2009 - 2014 for Chlorophyll integrated over the surface 10 meters of the model domain (mg/L). Each panel details a two month average. The 200 meter isobath (the shelf break) is highlighted for reference.
